An African photo safari is a significant investment—and it should change the way you see the world.
I don’t just understand that—I’ve lived it. Before moving to Kenya full-time, I spent over a decade flying back and forth from the U.S., chasing light, moments, and meaning across the continent. I’ve logged thousands of hours in the field—photographing in remote tribal regions and iconic wildlife reserves, often alone behind the wheel of my own Land Rover.
These are not pre-packaged tours- each one is custom-built from years of boots-on-the-ground knowledge. They are handcrafted, from the ground up, based on deep local knowledge, personal relationships, and hard-earned access. Every location, every movement, is chosen with intent—to put you in the right place at the right time with the freedom, flexibility, and photographic power a small group allows.
This is not about checking off animals or collecting snapshots. It’s about creating space for transformative moments—those rare intersections of light, soul, and story that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
If you’re ready to move beyond the ordinary, your journey starts here.
