What could be better than an amazing adventure in the wild African savanna? Only an adventure in the company of an expert in animal behaviour, a wildlife photographer and a writer!
And that’s exactly the kind of remarkable premium safari tour to Kenya we’re offering you:
In November, when Kenya’s national parks are less crowded with tourists, you’ll embark on an unforgettable adventure accompanied by Aleksey Osokin — a renowned wildlife photographer, author of a popular book about African cats, animal psychologist and editor‑in‑chief of Zoography magazine.
Aleksey is a professional photographer and the author of numerous articles and a book about Africa’s wild nature. Over the years he’s spent in Maasai Mara — Kenya’s largest national park — he has learned the work of rangers and personally protected wild animals from poachers, literally rescuing them from traps with his own hands.
Aleksey will not only teach you how to photograph wild animals, but also share many secrets and fascinating stories, show you how to tell one leopard from another, and take you to the most interesting spots in the reserve that are off‑limits to regular tourists. Aleksey knows the reserve so well and has spent so much time there that he’s recognised not only by locals and staff, but even by the animals!

SAFARI TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1 (February 22): In the afternoon, we depart from Nairobi for the Maasai Mara. The journey takes about 5–6 hours. Then we check in to Keekorok Lodge. You’ll enjoy dinner and a good night’s sleep to the sounds of the savanna.
Day 2: Early in the morning, we set off for our first safari! From this moment on, an unforgettable adventure begins in one of Africa’s most popular and wildlife‑friendly national parks. For all the following days, we’ll have breakfast in the savanna, while lunch and dinner will be served at the lodge or camp.
We’ll tailor the daily savanna programmes together with you on site. We can guarantee encounters with all the most fascinating animals, including extremely rare species. You’ll see and learn about leopards, cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, servals, hyenas and many other animals. We’ll be able to observe the wildlife for as long as you wish — there are no time limits on how long we can stay near the animals. The only exception may involve cheetah and leopard cubs: park rangers protect them with special care, and we will respect the cubs’ peace and quiet. You’ll learn about the work of rangers and biologists, start to better understand wild animals, and have the chance to learn how to photograph them.
February 25: After the morning safari, we move from Keekorok Lodge to the quiet and cozy Matira Camp. After lunch, more adventures in the savanna await! In the evening, after dinner, you’ll enjoy a campfire under the incredible African sky.
February 27: To make the most of our time in the savanna and avoid spending the night in stuffy, noisy Nairobi before flying home, we’ll spend the whole day in the savanna. Then we’ll spend the night at the edge of the Maasai Mara National Park — from where, on February 28, we’ll head to the airport early in the morning.
Final day (February 28): Early in the morning, we leave the Maasai Mara to head to Nairobi Airport. The drive to the airport takes 5 hours.
