Here you can find the new calendar for the safaris planned for 2012.

Masai Mara NR, Lake Nakuru NP and Amboseli NP, Kenya -
Photographic Safaris organized by me in collaboration with Concorde Safaris Ltd, Kenya.


For the summer season of 2012, I decided to concentrate my safaris in Kenya on my three favorite parks, the ones that in my opinion offer the best photographic opportunities: Masai Mara NR, Amboseli NP and Lake Nakuru NP. The northern summer season (July to September) coincides with the arrival of the Great Wildebeests' Migration in the Mara and with the highest concentration of Flamingos in Lake Nakuru.

Safaris in Kenya will be organized in collaboration with a local tour operator, Concorde Safaris Ltd (www.concorde.co.ke). Concorde Safaris will take care of all reservations, internal flights and transfers within Nairobi.

Places available for each safari will be 4 on my vehicle (on 3 rows on the Land Cruiser). These seats will be given to the first people who will book. Additional people, for a maximum of 6, will seat on another 4x4, guided by a professional guide, certified by KPSGA (Silver or Gold level), chosen personally by myself.

During the safari I will give practical tips and assistance on all photographic issues to the participants. Support will range from technical issues related to the equipment, to more stylistic and compositional decisions affecting the image. We will review and discuss the images during the safari, in the breaks or while we wait for animals to become active.

In the evening, participants will assist me as I edit, archive and process my images, using Adobe Lightroom 3 software. Participants will have plenty of practical examples for advanced processing techinques.

Below you can find the list of safaris, please send me en e-mail to receive the detailed program for each trip.
 

Tailored Safaris
If you wish, it is possible to extend your stay in the Masai Mara beyond the dates set in the programs. Please contact me to arrange.

It will also be possible on request to have the entire vehicle and myself booked exclusively for yourself or your small group. Again, please contact me to arrange.

For any other request, including visiting other parks not included in the programs, please do not hesitate to contact me. We'll arrange the safari that suits you the best!
