This is a very easy trip since all activities will be from our 4×4 vehicle.

We are using Toyota Landcruisers that have been specially adapted for photography. They have big windows, roll up windows not glass for great visibility and a sunroof. All have electrical power sockets and seats with seatbelts.

When we are out on safari Andy / Jamie are in the front seat next to the driver as that is the most restrictive view. They are also in prime position to direct to get in the best position at all times. In the back of each vehicle there are three clients, which ensures that each of you has a window seat.

At LWC we are using their specialist vehicles and drivers. They are very open and it’s fun!

Of course we cannot predict this as the world is changing, but in general it's very pleasantly warm at this time of the year. Expect daytime highs of 25C-28C and night time lows of 12C. The days should be clear but we can get rain and you must be prepared for this. It can be cloudy too so a light fleece is essential. In short it’s unpredictable!

Comprehensive pre departure information will be provided 3 months before departure. This will cover photo kit, clothing, visas, tips and anything else you need to know.

Lens wise flexibility will be the key here so a couple of zoom lenses and something for wide angles will be ideal.

We appreciate that for a lot of you, you have your own frequent flyer memberships and preferences. So, as we do for all our safaris, once you book we will tell you when and where you need to be and give you some flight recommendations.

All transfers are included in the package in Nairobi.

We drive! To keep costs down for you we will be driving between camps, a maximum journey of 4 hours each time which will go quickly!

Rest assured that this safari is backed by the Travel Trust Association (TTA). The TTA is an independent trade organisation of tour operators that we are proud members of. The TTA provides guarantees for your booking with us in two forms.

The first is that all monies are deposited to a trustee managed trust bank account and any payments to / from them have to be authorised at several levels. 

Secondly your booking is protected by the TTA Safe Seat Plan and Supplier Failure Cover, both of which are insurance policies to protect your money from fraud and supplier failure. 

We include the costs of these policies automatically in your booking fee, so that you can have total financial confidence in us, and your booking with us, as a trusted and reputable tour operator.

We have put this section in as it's very important that anyone considering coming on this tour reads it. We are always 100% honest with our clients so there are no surprises when you arrive. 

When we go offroad it can be slightly rough, we will drive very slowly and carefully but there will be thorn bushes that will try to come in the vehicle, you will be warned and have time to get out the way but you need to know we will be bushwhacking!

Now because of the habitat, and the way that the animals move, you cannot expect to sit in your seat and have a clear view. Sometimes it might be but there might be grass from where you are sitting, whereas for others it will be clear. The vehicle will always stop in the best place for the animal and the sighting, it will be up to you to move in the vehicle to ensure a clear shot. Andy or Jamie will be at the front controlling it for everyone BUT it's sometimes impossible to get a clear shot for everyone, whereas other times it's easy, so you have to understand that moving is essential.

So that's that, all the slight negatives, which is just our way of being honest. It's an easily manageable trip for anyone!

The tour is open to both photographers and non photographers. The atmosphere is holiday when we are in the lodges, and wildlife focus when we are out and about.

Our tours are inclusive, anyone is welcome irrespective of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. We just ask that you come with a smile and a love of wildlife.

It’s important that you understand that whilst we guarantee that everyone will do their very best to get you the very best in photographic opportunities we cannot guarantee photographable sightings. Nature and wildlife can be unpredictable.

All his clients know that Andy and his guide team try their absolute best to get everyone the best photographic opportunities possible, but of course this can be out of our control as the wildlife has other ideas!!! So whilst we look for everything we can, we absolutely cannot guarantee in anyway shape or form that you will see any of these. It can rain. It can be cloudy. The wildlife can be elusive. You must come with this realistic expectations, we do not make false promises. What we can promise is that the team will work 150% to give you the best chances and best experiences possible. That is GUARANTEED!

This will vary depending on the camp that we are staying at. However your day will always start early with a wake up call with tea or coffee and biscuits. We will work in the good light and we will either return to camp for a brunch or stop for breakfast at some point during the morning.

Then you can chill until mid/late afternoon when we meet for coffee and cake before heading out again. At some of the parks we have to return to camp at sundown, but at others we will again make a stop for sundowners and snacks before we begin the evening tracking session using lights. We return to the camp at 8pm ish for dinner and bed, usually we go straight into dinner.

We can usually cater for most dietary requirements so please get in touch with any questions and we will be happy to help.
