7-Day Kenya Wildlife Photography Safari: Amboseli, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara

Experience Kenya’s spectacular wildlife and landscapes on a 6-day photography safari featuring 2 nights in Amboseli National Park, 1 night at Lake Nakuru, and 3 nights in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Capture Amboseli’s iconic elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, photograph Lake Nakuru’s rich birdlife and rhinos, and spend extended time in the Masai Mara photographing lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and other wildlife across its vast savannah plains.

Safari highlights:

• Amboseli National Park: Photograph large elephant herds, scenic wetlands, and wildlife with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.
• Lake Nakuru National Park: Look for endangered rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, flamingos, and diverse bird species.
• Masai Mara National Reserve: Enjoy three nights dedicated to wildlife photography, with opportunities to capture predators, herbivores, and dramatic savannah scenes.
• Golden-hour photography: Take advantage of early-morning and late-afternoon game drives for beautiful natural light.
• Diverse landscapes: Capture everything from open grasslands and acacia woodlands to lakeside habitats and mountain backdrops.

Best for wildlife photographers
This itinerary combines three contrasting ecosystems and provides the greatest amount of time in the Masai Mara, where repeated game drives can help photographers find interesting animal behaviour and changing light conditions. A private 4×4 safari vehicle with a knowledgeable guide and flexible game-drive schedules is recommended.
