Kenya

The Maasai Mara — the classic African safari, photographed properly.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of the most iconic wildlife reserves on the planet: vast savannas, extraordinary predator densities and the classic scenes of African safari. Okapi expeditions here are built for photographers — private 4×4 vehicles prepared for photography, specialist local guides and total flexibility to follow light and behavior.

Days are long and unhurried: dawn departures for the best light, full-day game drives when the action calls for it, bush breakfasts and picnic lunches out on the savanna, and patient time with lion prides, cheetahs, elephants and — with luck — leopards and rhinos.
