THE GREAT MIGRATION

Enjoy full day game drives in Masai Mara. We are woken up with a pre-dawn tea, coffee and biscuits before we set out on our drive at 6:00 hrs to photograph in the best light of the day. A full day to enjoy the world’s greatest natural theatre of wildlife. With dawn to dusk game drives every day, you will see some of the best game in the world in the rich Mara paradise. Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Cheetah, Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebeest and many more. The highlight would be to photograph the river crossings as the Wildebeest and other game scamper their way through the Mara River. These are for sure the most dramatic wildlife moments that one can witness! With the GW Photo Mentor leading the tour the opportunities for photographing the game would be endless! With on field guidance and off the field review sessions we take care that you make the most of the available opportunities. In the evenings enjoy your leisure time as we discuss the daily sightings in front of the campfire while we dig at the delicious cuisine that is offered. Overnight at the camp.

A lens with a focal length of at least 300mm is recommended for photographing birds and mammals, although larger focal lengths are always helpful.
