The origin of safari, of romance under canvas on a vast African landscape, Kenya is where it all began. Today, its rich Maasai culture is woven into a classic safari experience that is centred around the annual wildebeest migration.

Our knowledge and experience of Kenya’s premier wildlife destinations allows us to craft journeys that hit exactly the right spots for photography, or hot-air ballooning, or watching the famous river crossings where predators lie in wait of an easy meal.

The crowning glory of a Kenya safari is indeed the Masai Mara, but knowing where and when to plan your trip for the migration is key. Our most highly rated Mara destination is the Mara North Conservancy, where some of the country’s premier tented camps and luxury lodges are located, offering far superior, private encounters with wildlife in a very popular part of Kenya.

Beyond the hype of the great migration are Kenya’s equally as remarkable wilderness areas, like Amboseli National Park – land of the planet’s last Big Tuskers. Here, these exceptional elephants, carrying tusks in excess of 50kg roam across open plains with the famous icy peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Truly breath-taking.

Best of Kenya


We spent 10 incredible nights with Lance as our private guide in Kenya. We stopped over in Nairobi at the Giraffe Manor, a simply must do for everyone, visited the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage before making our way to the Mara North Conservancy.The Mara North was one of the most fabulous places I have ever visited. We saw lions on every drive, one of the best destinations if this is what you are looking for, as well as elephants, buffalo, multiple cheetah, day old lion cubs, leopard and even drove to the National Park for one day and saw two wildebeest crossings!I can highly recommend traveling with Lance. He got us into the best position multiple times and seemed to know what the animals were going to do even before they did.

My daughter and I spent an incredible 9 days with Lance in Kenya. We joined an organised Panthera photo workshop in Amboseli, and then went on to 3 other venues for our best of Kenya tour. Our trip went like clockwork, all thanks to the hard work that Lance and Kirstin put in behind the scenes. Our accomodation was first class, the guiding and photography vehicles were also top notch, and the logistics of travelling around remote areas of Kenya were faultless. I have no hesitation in recommending Panthera Photo Safaris.

Yet another amazing Photography Safari organised by Panthera Photo Safaris, this time in Kenya, Amboseli National Park. Lance is a great photography guide, always happy to help with the photography, making suggestions in terms of composition and settings, making sure that all guests are happy with their images. His nice personality, great sense of humour and informal approach, his zoology & photography degrees, the safari guide background are some of his qualities that help him manage the groups of individuals in the most remarkable way! At the same time, he (and Kirstin) are trying their best to accommodate every client's special requests. This is not my first safari with them and definitely not the last! I recommend Panthera and Lance to all wildlife photography enthusiasts, of any level.
