a photographer to join this safari, you can simply be a nature lover.
Your photography Guide Dr. Matrishva Vyas will lead this safari and share his wildlife
and photography knowledge to ensure that you return home with excellent suite of
images and enhanced knowledge on photography.
It is vital that you are well prepared for this safari. To ensure that, we will provide you
all the necessary information regarding packing, camera, lenses, and other
photographic accessories specifically needed for Maasai Mara, and a myriad of other
general useful information.
To maximise the game viewing experience, we will embark on a full day safari on
certain or all days depending on the sightings and specific inputs from our Maasai
Guides
After the safari is over, online classes on post processing will be held to continue our
learning experience. We will specifically work on those images which has been shot
by you to make you understand the nuances of post processing.

elephants in Tanzania. You will also see giraffes, hippos, lions, and leopards.
