Experience Kenya from a true wildlife photographer’s perspective on an immersive journey focused on some of Africa’s premier wildlife hides. Rather than simply viewing wildlife from a safari vehicle, we’ll spend extended time in the field with opportunities to photograph animals from specialized hides positioned near productive water sources, creating intimate, low-angle images and capturing natural behaviors without the presence of a vehicle in the frame.

Our journey takes us to two exceptional wildlife destinations: Lumo Wildlife Conservancy and Lentorre. We’ll travel by private charter aircraft from Nairobi to the conservancies, between our safari locations, and back again at the end of the journey, dramatically reducing unnecessary overland travel time and allowing us to spend more of the trip where it matters most: in the field photographing wildlife.

Throughout the safari, our group will also have two dedicated safari vehicles, allowing every photographer to have their own row. This provides significantly more room for camera equipment, greater freedom to move between shooting positions, and unobstructed access to photograph from either side of the vehicle as wildlife opportunities unfold.

In Lumo, we’ll have access to waterhole hides where wildlife comes to drink, offering some of the most compelling photographic opportunities of the trip. From the comfort and concealment of the hide, we can settle into position and wait for animals to approach naturally. The water creates opportunities for intimate portraits, reflections, drinking behavior, interactions between species, and dramatic moments as animals gather at the water’s edge. Because we’re photographing from a concealed position rather than a vehicle, we can work at a lower perspective and create images with a more immersive, eye-level feel.

We’ll also have the opportunity to use hides at Lentorre, combining these specialized photography experiences with flexible game drives across the surrounding wilderness. This gives us the best of both approaches: the ability to quietly wait for wildlife at a productive water source, while also covering more ground by vehicle in search of animals, behaviors, and landscapes.

Our schedule is intentionally designed to give us time behind the camera. We can remain in a hide when the action is unfolding, return to productive locations, and take advantage of the beautiful early-morning and evening light. Potential night game drives add another dimension, offering opportunities to photograph and observe nocturnal wildlife that we would rarely encounter during daylight hours.

This is more than a traditional Kenyan safari. It is a dedicated wildlife photography experience built around access, patience, perspective, and comfort. By combining premier waterhole hides, flexible game drives, private charter flights, spacious safari vehicles with a dedicated row for every photographer, and extended stays in two exceptional wildlife areas, we’ll have the time and freedom to create intimate wildlife images that simply aren’t possible on a conventional safari.
