Join me on this exclusive small-group wildlife safari in Kenya’s Masai Mara and Lewa Conservancy. You will be on led and guided to some of the best wildlife photography experiences on the planet in our favorite locations.

We start our safari in the arid north, in Lewa. We are in an amazing resort lodge in the middle of one of the most beautiful wildlife preserves on earth. We'll have three days and nights here to photograph the diverse wildlife. We'll get out of the vehicles, we'll shoot the stars, and we'll burn up many memory cards going after the predators, birds, and over 70 different mammal species. We are set to photograph some of the most spectacular wildlife that Kenya has to offer: lion, leopard and jackal thrive on the rich diversity of prey that inhabits the area. The Wildlife Conservancy is home to the largest concentration of Grevy’s zebra in the world, and its range of habitats attracts diverse birdlife and hosts over 130 Black and White rhino. Here also is the one place we can see and photograph the Reticulated giraffe.

A couple of short flights on “Air Muench” and we’re next in the Masai Mara. Depending on the arrival of the rains, the great migration should be here in the Mara when wildebeest and zebra herds numbering hundreds of thousands thunder over the plains to the riverbanks and hurtle through waters teeming with immense Nile crocodile. But it’s not just the migration, we’ll photograph the Big 5 (lion, cape buffalo, leopard, elephant, and rhino) as well as carnivores including cheetah, hyena, jackal, serval, wild dog and bat-eared fox. There are numerous antelopes too, and the massive Masai giraffe, the tallest mammal on land! The Masai Mara is also a haven for birdlife, containing over 470 resident and migrant species! Approximately 60 of these consist of raptors, such as eagles, kites, harriers, hawks, falcons and kestrels. There are majestic ostrich too, in addition to herons, egrets, bitterns, grebes, pelicans, cormorants, ibises, spoonbills, rails, crakes, secretary birds and the glamorous crowned crane.

Everything’s all-inclusive, you’ll have amazing food, comfy lodgings, and in plenty of space in our vehicles for you and your gear. Expect to be immersed in photography and safari from before sunup until after sunset. Everyone can expect to learn the finer points of wildlife photography, and to practice and refine “the art of seeing” where you will work on the best compostions. In the evenings and during downtimes, Randy will be working with you on image reviews and post-processing. Are you ready for a Muench Safari?
