Kenya Wildlife Photography
Kenya is one of NaturesLens' flagship destinations for African wildlife photography, offering the chance to work in landscapes as iconic as the Great Rift Valley & the Maasai Mara. With big cats, plains game, & smaller nocturnal specialities all on offer, it's a country that rewards photographers seeking both dramatic predator encounters & quieter, more intimate wildlife moments.
Species NaturesLens Photographs in Kenya
NaturesLens runs trips into the Maasai Mara & the private Lemek Conservancy on holidays such as The Mara, Without the Crowds & African Wildlife of the Maasai Mara, photographing African Lion, African Leopard, Giraffe, Plains Zebra, Grant's Gazelle & Impala, typically during August, September & October. Down in the Shompole wilderness, NaturesLens' Wildlife of Shompole Wilderness holiday focuses on species including African Elephant, Leopard, Spotted Hyena, African Civet, Bat-eared Fox & Common Genet, often with night photography opportunities for the more elusive nocturnal subjects. Across both regions, NaturesLens' small-group approach is designed to get photographers close to Kenya's wildlife while avoiding the busier tourist routes.
