Featured Photography Adventure
Kenya Photography Safari
Africa, what a place, I’ve visited 20 times now. Last year I spent more days in Africa than I did in my apartment, and she never disappoints. If you are like me; you grew up watching Tarzan, loved the circus and the zoo, Marlin Perkins was a hero, Hatari was an incredible movie, and you dreamt of being in Africa. I can assure you that the real thing is even more amazing than you have imagined. I love this Kenya Safari! I’ve done this exact safari 4 times and can’t wait to share that with you! Once you experience a Kenya Safari, you will love it too! And of course, You Will Be Amazed!
I am so excited to be going back for a Kenya Safari in the “green” season. It is the most beautiful time of the year, and the plains are a verdant green and not the browns of fall. We will visit the stunning Amboseli National Park, and if the “shy mountain” Kilimanjaro allows, we’ll see vast herds of elephants along with that iconic peak. From there we continue our safari and explore the fabulous Masai Mara National Park. We’ll be looking for the Big Five (elephant, rhino, leopard, lion, and buffalo) and everything in between. And those are just the highlights!
Kenya Photo Safari Testimonials
I really appreciated Jeff’s knowledge
I have just returned from an amazing photo safari adventure in Kenya. I am still grappling with the overwhelming animals I saw and photographed. Some of the highlights of this trip included: Amazing number of… wild animals and birds of every brilliant hue and colour Following the animals in their natural habitats – including observing a number of hunts Excellent hotel and glamping accommodations Great food including sunrise breakfasts in the wild and sunset happy hours Cultural experiences including a visit to a Masai village I really appreciated Jeff’s knowledge about the wildlife we saw and identifying animals and birds in the photographs I took. With Jeff’s help, I managed to greatly improve my skills as a photographer. This trip was always on my bucket list. It far exceeded my expectations. I will certainly join one of Jeff’s expeditions again. In fact, I have!! I have booked a trip with him to Brazil to photograph the jaguars. Read more “I really appreciated Jeff’s knowledge”
What an awesome experience!
What an awesome experience! The accommodations were excellent, the local guides were the best, and the photo opps were amazing!
Jeff was well organized and informative from start to finish
This was my first trip with Jeff and I can guarantee it will not be my last. Jeff was well organized and informative from start to finish, with a very pleasant and genuine caring for… each of the clients on the trip. Jeff made sure everybody was inclusive, and gave just the right feedback to every client. From the beginning in Nairobi, at Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage we knew this was going to be something special. Everyday was amazing and Jeff was excellent at instructing the drivers to get us in the right spot at the right time to take some awesome photographs. Our regular sundowner drinks at the end of the day was the perfect way to spend time with fellow travellers and reflect on how lucky we were to have just experienced nature at it’s best. Every night the mantra amongst our group was “it just keeps getting better”. The accommodation, food and staff at the camps are first class. I could not believe how good the food was, all locally cooked by internationally trained chefs. The accommodation is clean and very comfortable. The staff are always smiling and go that extra bit to make sure you are happy. If you are considering travelling to Africa on a safari then I highly recommend travelling with Jeff. I look forward to my next adventure with Wildlife Workshops. Read more “Jeff was well organized and informative from start to finish”
Exceeded Expectations
I recently returned from a Safari to Kenya with Jeff. I’ve been to Africa four times and this safari exceeded my expectations. Thanks Jeff for a wonderful experience!
Impressive wildlife photography expertise
I first met Jeff Wendorff on one of his wildlife workshops and was most impressed with his expertise and experience with wildlife photography. When I learned he does a yearly Africa Photo Safari, I signed… up immediately. I was not disappointed. Jeff hand-picked the 3 Porini Camps for our Kenya trip, selects his jeep guides and is the perfect host. The guides find where the wildlife are, put you in a perfect position for action shots considering lighting conditions and with only 3 per jeep, you have plenty of room to move around and stow gear. The lodging, food, and camp staff are outstanding at each camp site. Great stuff. I’m going back this year with Jeff to do it all over again. From lumbering elephant herds towering beneath Mt. Kilimanjaro, to black-mained lions, to leopard with cubs, to cheetahs on the hunt to rare spotted dogs to fantastic Africa sunset silhouette shots, it doesn’t get any better….But I’ll let you know when I get back…..JD Thompson Read more “Impressive wildlife photography expertise”
