Join Armstrong Fortescue as we visit one of our favourite photography destinations, Amboseli.
The focus will be on the regions famous super tusker elephants and large herds, using the backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain in the world to create a dynamic image portfolio.
For those interested in adding more to their trip we are also offering a Maasai Mara add-on after our time in Amboseli, where guests can enjoy unrivalled access to the famous big cats that roam the plains.
Overview
Guided by Will and Matt, both professional photographers and experienced photographic guides there will be a strong photographic element to the trip. However if you prefer to travel light and enjoy your time on safari without a camera in hand there will be plenty on offer.
Our days will be spent maximising our time on safari - getting out before sunrise and often back well after dark, but time between game drives will be spent in group or private editing sessions or simply enjoying life in camp.
This is perhaps our most dedicated photographic trip of 2025 and one we believe offers the passionate amateur or semi-professional photographer alike the chance to build a brilliant African wildlife portfolio.
