We will have time to unpack, relax and get ready to our first safari. Wake up in the heart of Kenya. It s 5:30 and we have the whole day ahead to experience the most beautiful face of the wild. After a delicious breakfast at the camp, we will get ready our photographic equipment for witness one of the most exciting experience on Earth: THE GREAT MIGRATION. There will be days that we will take picnic lunch with us and it will be served in the bush, so we will spend a full day game drive. Our drivers know perfectly the area and they will take us to the best places where is all the action. This vicinity is the home of some lion families, so we might often hear them roaring in the night from our lodge. This is a very special experience. And we will also be observing and photographing them during the day. We will take time to experience a Masai village. One of the highlights of our trip is the HOT AIR BALLOON flight. With a view over the savanna at sunrise that will take your breath away. The photographic opportunities are very special and unique up there. We will explore the Masai Mara reserve waiting for the epic river crossing, thousands of wildebeest and zebras will cross, and they will be followed by all sort of predators, like lions, vultures, hyenas. The area we are located is the best ecosystem sector for watching the big 5. We will travel on state of the art 4x4 vehicles, with a guide at least twice a day, one for sunrise and the other one till sunset, these are the best moments of light for taking pictures and also when many animals are more active. But we might be all day long out in the savanna. This is a photographic safari, designed to all levels, but also nature and animal lovers are welcome. Unforgettable. Page 2
