KENYA MIGRATION Photo Safari plus Samburu & Lake Nakuru

Here are some photos from the first WILD4 Photo Safari to Kenya during the migration season. Three locations were visited, Samburu Reserve in the dry north, Lake Nakuru to see 1000's of Flamingos and finally 7 nights in the Masai Mara to view the wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

Next years trip will be at the same time of year (Mid August) and there are only a few seats left so reserve your place now to avoid missing out on a truely magical wildlife spectacle.

Enjoy:)

BEST of KRUGER & BIG CATS photo safari - AUGUST 2010

The August "Best of Kruger and Big Cats" Photo Safari has just ended and here is a selection of photos from the trip.
By far the most diverse safari yet with clients coming from Belgium, the UK, Australia, Norway and the USA !! We were treated to some fantastic sightings during our 10 night stay in the Kruger National Park, including 34 White Rhino and 11 Leopards !! As usual, the Big Cat Reserve served as an excellent training ground and the Lion, Leopard and Cheetah experiences and photo opportunities were outstanding.

The 2 night Forest Lodge extension proved once again to be a success - who said photographing Reptiles is not fun !! ?? :)

All the very best from the Wild4 team, until next time,

Cheers for now
