Maneaters and Red Elephants 2024

This full 10 day photo safari takes you to three of Africa’s most beautiful nature reserves.

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.

Tsavo is split in two parts: Tsavo East and Tsavo West, which differ greatly in scenery, though both have intensely warm coloured red sand. Tsavo West has a stunning, volcanic landscape with dense vegetation, whereas Tsavo East is drier and more sparsely vegetated. The Tsavo and Galana Rivers offer refreshing sights of palm trees, and both Tsavos have a remote wilderness atmosphere, with much lower tourist densities than other parks in Kenya.

All three reserves are famous for their huge population of elephants, but there’s also a good possibility of seeing lion (Maneaters of Tsavo!), buffalo, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, leopard and hippo. Many more mammals and hundreds of bird varieties will be welcoming you.
