Kenya: Big Cats & Big Tuskers
Unleash your inner explorer on an epic expedition into the heart of Africa’s unspoiled wilderness with our exclusive “Big Cats & Big Tuskers” safari. This personalized journey, led by wildlife photography expert Sean Sharp of Sharp Wildlife Photography, transcends the ordinary, taking you away from the crowds and deep into the heart of nature’s wonders.
Join the adventure with Sean and renowned photographers Kate and Adam Rice of KAR Photography for a truly unparalleled experience. Together, they bring over four decades of expertise, ensuring you get expert guidance, personalized attention, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Imagine morning and late-afternoon game drives aimed at capturing Kenya’s wildlife in golden light. Capture breathtaking images from your own dedicated row within our windowless safari vehicles. In exclusive conservancies, we’ll venture off-road for the perfect shots, and under certain conditions, even step out for unique, low-angle perspectives.
Your journey unfolds across three distinct landscapes:
-
5 nights / 6 days amidst the iconic Masai Mara, nestled in a private camp within the exclusive Mara North Conservancy. Witness the drama unfold as prides of lions stalk their prey, cheetahs race across the plains, and leopards survey their domain.
-
4 nights / 5 days in Amboseli National Park and Tawi Conservancy, awestruck by the sight of the world's largest elephants. Picture herds gracefully traversing the dried lakebed against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro and the thrill of tracking legendary "super tuskers" – colossal giants few get to experience.
This is more than just a safari; it’s an immersive experience for the soul. Under Sean’s expert guidance, where guiding us to learn from true in-the-field experience will be our focus, you’ll capture once-in-a-lifetime moments. With a limited group size of just 3 guests, you’ll receive personalized attention and ensure you maximize your photographic potential.
