In the Masai Mara there is an enormous density of animals, especially during the Great Migration. If the guides have an off-road licence, they are allowed to bring their guests relatively close to the animals. Many are trained in the correct positioning of the jeep, allowing for terrific wildlife photography opportunities.

Photography Tips

Besides detailed shots of the animals, motifs showing them in their natural environment are also very appealing. The light is of course particularly special in the early morning or later afternoon.

Travel Information

It is best to stay overnight in the national park so that you can take advantage of the off-peak hours. Self-driving is generally allowed, but the roads get so muddy when it rains that only very experienced off-road drivers should dare to do this.
