LEGACY SAFARI 2026

BEYOND EXTRAORDINARY!

Some of Africa’s most amazing photographic destinations are those less known and less visited.

We have strategically picked private locations with iconic species and unique ecosystems with special access to maximize every minute of the light, have off-road access to precisely position the vehicle, and the freedom to alight from the vehicle to shoot level with the earth that turns ordinary photographs into extraordinary images. With very low occupancy and vehicle density, these private reserves elevate the safari experience beyond the photograph. We will be immersed in breathtaking beauty with more meaningful encounters that allow us to stay spiritually connected to the unspoiled wilderness away from the crowded known national parks and reserves.

Focusing on an image’s outcome is one of the secrets to achieving successful fine art wildlife images, which starts with logistical planning. Creating breathtaking images requires vision, anticipation, understanding of the animal behavior, knowledge of special locations and networks, experienced photographic guides, and time – which has been arranged. We will be away from the masses to photograph quietly and undisturbed, focusingon capturing images that leave a legacy! 

This signature safari was designed to create stunning images that emotionally move people and touch the soul.   If you want to create a body of fine art African wildlife images to print large and hang on the walls of collectors or in your own home, you will want to take advantage of this unique opportunity! This safari is also the perfect way to enhance your vision and improve your post-production craft, especially in black and white.

Private Amboseli 

Imagine photographing dramatic images of the large herds of elephants, zebras, and giraffes as they roam through the dusty plains of the dry lake with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. These exotic creatures traverse long stretches of bare soil between feeding grounds, forming long lines as they march; a breathtaking sight to see and photograph in this spectacular fine art photographic environment. 

A Maasai name meaning “salty dust,” Amboseli is the most incredible place to photograph some of the last biggest iconic tuskers remaining in Africa. With over 1,000 elephants residing in the ecosystem, there will be ample opportunities to photograph these large herds up close and personal in wide open spaces with clean, unobstructed backgrounds. 

In the private reserve, we can go off the road and get out of the vehicle, which is critical for creating the best images. 

Private Rhino Sanctuary 

Tucked in the valley between the lofty slopes of Mount Kenya and the peaks of the Aberdare Mountains lies a special rhino sanctuary, which is internationally recognized as the most successful private Rhino Breeding reserve in Kenya. Sightings of up to 40 rhinos during a game drive are not uncommon. They love to graze on top of raised plains, perfect for beautiful, clean backdrops of the sky and or mountains. 

In most places, rhinos are de-horned for their protection, so it is becoming rare to have photographs of rhinos with full-grown horns – allowing you to create images that will leave a legacy! Conservationists fear it will probably get so bad that generations will grow up not knowing what a natural rhino horn looks like. 

Besides the world’s largest population of white rhinos and nearly one hundred black rhinos, the reserve is inhabited by buffalo, zebra giraffe, Oryx, antelope, lion, cheetah, and leopard. The yellow acacia forest with a large stream creates a stunning backdrop for these extraordinary creatures.  We will have our own private exclusive luxury tent camp, off-road access, and low-level capabilities, and our stay helps to support this imperative rhino sanctuary

Private Mara 

Known as the wildlife mecca of the world, the renowned Maasai Mara is one of the greatest wildlife reserves on the planet for the big cats, which will be our focus. However, the vast open plains are also home to elephants, black rhinos, hippos, Maasai giraffes, common zebras, gnu, impala, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelles, topi, hartebeest, black-backed jackals, spotted hyenas and more. We will be in the private conservancy with extremely low vehicle density and off-road access, which is what is required to be able to shoot from a low level in special photographic vehicle, close to the big cats with a shorter lens for a more dramatic images and not have a hoard of vehicles in your shot.  We will still have access to the main reserve.

HIGHLIGHTS – 3 private conservancies, 4 charter flights, Respectable off-road driving for the best positioning, custom-designed low-angle photography vehicles in two locations, ability to alight from the vehicle and photography from the ground two locations, low vehicle density in all three locations, two talented experienced and passionate leaders!
