Understanding the Piper Mackay Brand Family
Over the years, my work has grown and evolved in exciting ways artistically, professionally, and geographically. Many of you have joined me along the journey, and I’m deeply grateful for your continued support and curiosity.
To make things simpler and clearer, I want to briefly explain the three different entities that now make up my brand. Each has its own focus, but all share a common mission: to create meaningful experiences and preserve the soul of Africa through storytelling, photography, and adventure.

Infrared Fine Art Photography
This is the heart of my creative expression. Piper Mackay is where I showcase my fine art photography especially my exclusive infrared portraits of Africa’s tribal cultures and wildlife. This work is crafted for collectors, galleries, and interior designers looking for timeless, evocative pieces that carry the spirit of Africa into homes and curated spaces.

Photo Safaris & Tribal Expeditions
This is my legacy division, the one many of you know best. Here, I share information about my immersive photo safaris, primarily designed for photographers and adventurous souls seeking deeper, more meaningful travel experiences. These journeys have taken us to remote corners of the continent, where culture and wildlife remain wild and raw. While I am scaling back the number of trips I lead each year, the ones I do offer will be more intimate and impactful than ever before.

DMC Tour Operator in Kenya | Custom Safaris
Born out of two decades of hands-on experience in Africa, Mackay Africa is my growing destination management company based in Kenya. We handcraft custom safaris for travelers, families, and private groups not just photographers. With a full-time local team on the ground, we offer expert planning, exclusive access, and seamless logistics for those seeking a one-of-a-kind African adventure. This is the future-forward arm of my work, scalable, sustainable, and grounded in local knowledge.
Whether you’re looking to collect artwork, travel with me on a photo expedition, or build your own custom safari, there’s a dedicated team to guide your journey. Thank you for being part of this wild, beautiful ride.
