IMMEASURABLE EXPERIENCES
By Definition
Vast, extraordinary, and beyond measure—these are the experiences at the heart of our African photo safaris. We focus on rare, one-of-a-kind wildlife spectacles and tribal ceremonies that unfold in a single location, just once a year.
Across Africa’s 54 countries lie some of the world’s most breathtaking wildlife events and cultural celebrations. With over two decateds of expertise in African wildlife and tribal photography, Piper meticulously crafts each itinerary to capture the most unforgettable photographic moments imaginable.
Natures most astonishing Drama
Not only is the Great Migration the most exciting, adrenaline-pumping action packed safari in Africa, it is arguably the greatest wildlife photography experience in the natural world. Each year, between July and October, approximately 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebras, and 200,000 gazelles migrate up from Tanzania crossing the great plains of the Massai Mara like a giant moving feast for predators. The mass Mara River crossings, through the crock-infested waters, cannot be explained, it must be experienced to fully understand.
River Wild
Imagine being on the river, low in the water, in a boat custom designed for photographers and coming face to face with a gentle giant, the jaws of a crock, or a leopard coming for a drink. What is better than an African wildlife safari on land, one on the Chobe River? There is no other place around the globe where you will experience this type of safari, a highlight in African wildlife photography.
Rare and Extraordinary
Photographing a black leopard in Kenya is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled with heart-pounding excitement and sheer awe. As the elusive Giza moves like a shadow through the dense underbrush, its sleek, midnight-black coat contrasts against the moonlit savanna, making every second behind the lens a test of patience and skill. The thrill of capturing its piercing golden eyes staring back through the darkness is unmatched—an extraordinary reward for the hours of tracking and waiting in silence. In that fleeting moment, as the shutter clicks, the mystery and majesty of this rare predator are forever preserved, a testament to nature’s most breathtaking secrets.
Africazn Ceremonies
Surrounded by an explosion of color, dancing, and rituals is an amazing jaw dropping experience of another world. Although, transforming quickly in the modern digital world, there are still traditional tribal ceremonies taking place annually across the African continent. Most all these ceremonies follow the seasons so they are not on a set date and a lot of special planning is required to attend these extraordinary events, but we love meeting the challenge as the reward is far beyond the logistical work required.
Up close and personal
Heart pounding is the experience of standing among these amazing giants. More thrilling than a land or boat safari is walking in the wild with camera in hand. There are many special areas across the African continent where you can have intimate moments with the wildlife and photographic opportunities beyond belief.
