Our Tour Guiding Principles
- To minimize driving time between locations
- To provide you with expert assistance using your photography equipment to help you to capture your own photographs.
- To stay in comfortable/authentic safari camps in the Maasia Mara Reserve which saves us from waiting in lines about an hour each day to enter and exit the park gates
- To have the option to photograph many Sunrises/Sunsets in the reserve because our camp is located in the Maasia Mara Reserve on the savanna. Fingers crossed for good weather!
- To optimize the price/comfort/authenticity balance. This isn’t the cheapest tour, but we think it’s the best tour that finds the right balance between high quality and quantity of World class photographic opportunities, comfort, value in one of the most diverse wildlife ecosystems in the World!
- To use modified safari Toyota Land Cruisers SUVs that have elevated passenger seats vs. the cheaper and relatively uncomfortable 4×4 minivans that most cheaper tours use.
- To provide unobstructed views above the tall savannah grass in our modified SUVs, unlike when you’re photographing from a lower 4×4 minivan where you’ll often have the tall grass in the foreground blurring or obscuring your subject.
