Upcoming Photo Safaris With Alan & Kaleel

Travelling to sub-Saharan Africa is a dream for many photographers. Seeing and photographing iconic wildlife in its natural habitat provides incredible photographic opportunities and memories which will last a lifetime. We pride ourselves on creating and leading photography safaris where you can immerse yourself in your wildlife photography and share enthusiasm with like-minded guests.

Alan and Kaleel are very flexible. We work with guests individually, in small groups or everybody together – whichever suits our guests!

Join us at ‘Mattikoko’, a Maasai family owned camp in the heart of the incredible private Lemek Conservancy during of the world’s most spectacular wildlife events, the great migration. The private conservancies benefit from lower tourist numbers and more freedom to responsibly off-road and experience the sights and sounds of the savanna after sunset.

We’ll also have access to the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Mara Triangle.

Booking now for August & September 2024, 7 and 11 night options available.

The Maasai Mara Conservancies offer an incredible opportunity to photograph lions, leopards and cheetahs. There’s even a chance of seeing serval and caracal too! The Lemek Conservancy is home to the turbulent Lemek pride of lions and their splinter groups. Cheetahs have also provided wonderful opportunties, especially the well known female, Kisaru and leopards are well represented in the foothills of nearby Kileloni.

Let’s not forget giraffe, rhino, elephant, hippo and a huge amount of birdlife too!

Join Alan in the stunning Timbavati private reserve in Greater Kruger, well known for Leopard and Rhino viewing and also home to the rare ‘White Lion’ gene.
