Hosted by Women in Wildlife photography!
Imagine three safari vehicles full of avid women wildlife photographers traversing the Maasai Mara, arguably the greatest wildlife habitat in the world!!
Not only is the Great Migration the most exciting, heart-pounding 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 through the Mara, chasing the rain and eating the tall grasses as they come from and returning to the Serengeti in Tanzania. This is a giant moving feast for the predators, creating one of nature’s most astonishing dramas.
In constant motion, the migration moves throughout many regions of the Mara, from the boarder of Tanzania, through the rich predator areas, near the swamps, and through the thick of the Balanites trees at the bottom of the dramatic Oldoinyioescarpment. From these wide-open game-filled vistas to the remote corners of the reserve, coving 1,510 square kilometers, you will seek vast photographic opportunities against a variety of backgrounds. They say the grass is not always greener, but sometimes it is! The rains may come to one side of the Mara and the migration could hold back on the other for a few days and you may not even witness it if you do your entire safari on one side.
The mentoring, the experience, the empowerment and the stories we will share every night around the fire or while having a sundowner on the Mara will be life changing!
WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN
IN THE FIELD OF WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographer Sarah E. Devlin created Women in Wildlife Photography. What began as a Facebook group has quickly blossomed into a community of passionate women photographers sharing their experiences and encouraging each other. We seek to inspire and educate through women-only tours and educational programs. The mission is to promote women wildlife photographers already working in the field and provide a supportive environment for women to learn the art of Wildlife photography.
Join Tour leaders Piper Mackay, Vicki Santello, and Sarah E. Devlin on this first ever historical safari!
