Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur, capturing those special moments on safari is a skill that everyone wants to master. Photographs are one of the best ways to preserve your memories, keeping them alive to share with your friends & family, again and again.
Wildlife photography requires a lot of patience, as well as a vehicle that allows you and your equipment to move around freely. It helps to have similar minded people in the vehicle, as non photographers may not be interested in the subjects you want to photograph.
Having a professional photographer to guide you on the best settings, angles and other technical aspects of photography is an added plus.
As mentioned above, your safari vehicle needs to have sufficient space, as operating bulky equipment in a vehicle with other guests, can be awkward.
Our latest safari tour, Focus.Click.Repeat, set in the iconic Maasai Mara Game Reserve, and its surrounding conservancies, caters for all these considerations – you will have exclusive use of your vehicle throughout your stay allowing you to work unhampered; resident photographers will be on hand to help and guide you; the driver/guides are experts in vehicle positioning to get your subject in the right frame.
Angama Mara Camp has a photography studio where you can rent the latest equipment, take advantage of tutorials on better photography, and edit & print your images, while Naboisho Camp has specialized vehicles with an optimal set up for photography. These vehicles come with swivel seats that can rotate 360 degrees and are limited to three in a row, ensuring enough space for you and your equipment, drop down sides allowing capture of eye level images of the wildlife, sandbags and foam camera rests, as well as charging points for batteries and storage pouches for extra equipment. All you have to do now is Focus and Click.
It is important to plan a photography safari well in advance, to ensure the availability of the specialized vehicles, photographers and guides.
