Amboseli Safari

An Exclusive Photo Safari Experience

February 28 – March 3, 2024

This safari is intended as an add-on to our Tanzania workshop.

Amboseli lies close to the border between Kenya and Tanzania and is dominated by the continent’s highest mountain—Kilimanjaro. It has Africa’s highest density of elephants per square mile, as well as an exceptional diversity of wildlife.

Capped with snow and ascending into the clouds, Mt. Kilimanjaro soars to 19,340 feet and provides a stunning backdrop for our safari on private land adjacent to Amboseli National Park. The area has varied habitats: open plains, umbrella acacia woodland, emerald-green swamps, and surrounding marshlands created from the melting snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The open plains of the dry lakebed give a desert-like appearance. But the springs that rim its eastern margins act as magnets for the game we seek. Here, ostrich and oryx rear up out of the shimmering heat-like reflections, allowing for some of the most fabulous wildlife viewing and photography in East Africa.

We’re staying in comfort Muench-style at one of the best camps in the area, with all the expected amenities: fantastic food, luxurious accommodations with en-suite facilities, and hot showers. Expect to be immersed in photography and safari from sunrise until sunset. Everyone can expect to learn the finer points of wildlife photography and to refine “the art of seeing,” where you will work on improving your compositions. We will work with you on image reviews and post-processing in the evenings and during downtimes.
