About us

hooves of africa photo safaris

We specialize in life-changing eco-tours and photographic expeditions each carefully tailored through private and personalized packages designed with your input. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or a first-time explorer, we craft journeys that match your interests, pace, and comfort.

As we explore Africa’s iconic landscapes and wildlife-rich regions, we remain dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact and uplifting the communities we engage with.

Why Choose a Photo Safari?

Unlike traditional safaris where guests often spend just 3 hours on a game drive from the back of a vehicle, our Photo Safaris are designed to maximize your time in the wild—because every moment matters. These experiences are built around the best light and most active wildlife hours, which means early mornings, golden evenings, and full days in the field. If your idea of a safari includes plenty of downtime at the lodge, one of our classic safaris might be a better fit.

But if you’re chasing that one perfect African shot, then our Photo Safaris are made for you. Our focus is on creating as many photographic opportunities as possible during your safari. This often means enjoying picnic breakfasts and lunches in the park, staying out longer, and adjusting schedules on the fly to take advantage of weather, light, and wildlife activity.

To ensure flexibility and comfort, we limit group sizes to a maximum of four guests, providing a highly personalized experience. Unlike standard safaris, our photography tours include private vehicles and boats, so you’re never sharing space with strangers. It’s just you, your camera, and your expert guide or host, making sure you’re in the right place at the right time.

What You Can Expect to Photograph

East Africa is a dream destination for photographers—renowned for its iconic wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and raw natural beauty. On our Photo Safaris, you’ll have the opportunity to capture:

The Great Migration in Kenya or Tanzania—witness the epic river crossings and predator-prey drama, Big Cats on the Hunt, from leopards in trees to lions on the prowl, Big Tuskers roaming the golden grasslands of Amboseli, framed by the misty peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mountain Gorillas & Chimpanzees deep in the jungles of Rwanda and Uganda—intimate encounters with Africa’s great apes.

Birdlife, including the elusive and prehistoric Shoebill Stork, Landscapes at Dawn and Dusk, when the light is most magical and the savanna truly comes alive

Whether you’re a professional photographer or an enthusiastic beginner, our Photo Safaris are designed to help you capture Africa’s magic in every frame—while experiencing its untamed beauty up close and responsibly.
