“Ultimate African Photo Safari” to Masai Mara & More, Kenya – September 2010 – Now Completely Booked

Why not join us?

We wish to advise our visitors and friends this photo safari is now completely booked.

There will be some exciting new destination photo safaris in 2011; please revisit occasionally for updates.

For most photographers, capturing iconic images of African wildlfie would be in their top five dream experiences. On this photo safari you will experience wildlife up close and in their own special environment. If you are a first timer to Africa you will be absolutely surprised when you see just how much wildlife there is to photograph. The sheer number and variety of subjects encountered on this photo safari should make for some of the richest photography on the planet. Iconic Images International  have teamed up with an experienced South African-based company because of their local knowledge, extensive safari experience in East Africa, and in particular their focus on running specialized tours for photographers.

This photo safari features some of the best and most stunning wildlife viewing opportunities that Kenya has to offer, with one important advantage: you will be traveling in the company of three professional photographers to help you capture the best possible images. There will be only 14 photographers on this photo safari and we will have a maximum of four photographers per vehicle.

It is suitable for participants of all levels of photographic experience and is a trip that a non-photographing spouse or travel partner would thoroughly enjoy. Those with limited wildlife photography skills will be encouraged to ask questions, try out different techniques, participate in the free workshops and learn not only from the tour leaders, but from other more experienced photographers in the group.
