Field Schedule & Sessions
Arrival & Action Briefing
Flight & Opening Session
Meet and greet at JKIA followed by transfer to Ole Sereni Hotel. We conduct our welcome briefing detailing shutter settings for high-speed action, panning techniques, and equipment dust protection.
Morning scheduled bush flight to the Masai Mara followed by lunch at Ashnil Mara Camp on the riverbanks. We head out from 16:00 to 18:45 for our first photographic session across the plains.
River Crossings & Predator Tracking
Wake-up at 05:30 with 06:00 departure. Most days we stay out all day with picnic lunches positioned near key crossing points so we never miss a river run. Between crossings we photograph big cats hunting among the migration, hyenas, vultures, elephants, and giraffes in golden savannah grass. Each day concludes with 19:30 dinner and evening image reviews, accompanied by a dedicated mid-trip editing workshop.
Final Full Day & Slideshow
Sunrise Drive & Transfer
Our final full day dedicated to tracking migration herds and predator action. In the evening we gather for our farewell dinner and an inspiring group slideshow celebrating the expedition's top frames.
Last sunrise photography session followed by breakfast. We board our flight to Nairobi Wilson, followed by a coordinated private vehicle transfer to JKIA for onward international journeys.
