Amboseli and Lake Magadi – Elephants, hides and flamingos

This 9 day photo safari takes you to two of Kenya’s gems.

On clear days Amboseli, which lies on the border with Tanzania, offers gorgeous views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Dry and dusty, this park offers the perfect opportunity for atmospheric twilight photography.

Lake Magadi is famous for its flamingos. We will be staying close to the lake in Ndoto House, that we will have exclusively for our group. Here we can use a day and night hide, and we will be making an excursion to the shore of Lake Magadi or Lake Natron for flamingo photography. A few helicopter flights over the colourful Lake Magadi and Lake Natron are an option. This is straight from Ndoto House and comes highly recommended!

This trip focuses entirely on wildlife photography.

Ten days in the Mara, with an abundance of photo opportunities and expert advice. The trip fulfilled its goals: we were treated to lions, cheetahs and leopards on a daily basis. But the other wildlife of the Mara also showed itself and with enough time and guidance we were able t…
