Having a passion for photography is one thing, but being able to transfer that passion onto others, is an even greater gift. I am also happy to have got to know you as a person! Thank you!

Tsavo Express

This 8 day photo safari takes you to the exciting natures reserves of Tsavo.

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.

Both 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.

Practical info: 

This trip focuses entirely on wildlife photography.

You are 8 days on the spot. Calculate extra days for the international flights!

The route has been worked out to maximise our time in the parks and we are traveling in two 4x4 vehicles, giving everybody ample space to photograph comfortably.

Accommodation is in comfortable tented camps in the middle of the national park. All have a private bathroom (shower, toilet), electricity and provide hearty, delicious meals.

Testimonials

On safari to Kenya again with Ingrid this year. How, just like last year, we have really enjoyed the trip. And this is mainly thanks to you Ingrid. Your care for the group is very good. A big compliment for the enthusiasm, your knowledge of photography and nature and you transfer this to the group...
What a trip, Ingrid! We have very much (and I mean really 'very much') enjoyed the safari and if it were possible, then we were already back in the plane to do another one. In addition to the detailed programming of your safaris, the briefing in advance, the good preparation, the beautifully...
This was our first safari. What a bull's eye, spotted very many animals and had ample time to photograph them, with Ingrid Vekemans' professional explanation how to best set the camera in all these circumstances. We learned a lot from her. The lodges were top and so was the food. We had super nice...
What makes Ingrids safaris so exciting, is that you can feel that Ingrid really lost her heart to Africa, her knowledge of the animals and the crazy patience she's got to wait for the ultimate photo moment. Even the birds she knows by name. Her spotting eyes see so much more than ours. Even if your...
The safari, Amboseli and Tsavo, was my 4th safari with Ingrid. Again a true adventure and complementary to the previous safaris. Even though I have quite some experience in wildlife photography, Ingrid still manages to push me to improve my abilities. This is also largely due to her experience with...
I have followed photo workshops and been on a photo safari before, but Ingrid's photo safari to Kenya, "Maneaters and Red Elephants" and her Macro and field photography workshop stood out above the others completely. Ingrid is very passionate about wildlife and takes all the time needed to observe...
Safari with Ingrid is a very intense, truly unforgettable and unique experience. She surrounds you with her passion, ablaze with Africa and photography. You accept the challenge to strive - together with her - for the ultimate experience, that amazing photo that touches your soul.
