A safari-insider favourite, the Mara North Conservancy is one of the most densely populated wildlife conservancies in the Mara ecosystem. An added benefit of visiting this conservancy is the feeling of exclusivity and intimacy due to the limited number of visitors allowed.  The conservancy has one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the Mara ecosystem. Aside from the highly sought after predators, there are over 450 species of birds to spot, several species of antelopes gracing the plains and a variety of animals that seem to have stepped straight out of a story book. 

We’ll be operating from a luxury bush camp in which we hav exclusive use just for our group - this means that we have free reign as to how to tackle the days ahead. Morning and afternoon drives are vital times for game viewing due to activity and best lighting conditions, but if we want to do more of a full day drive? Sure! How about incorporating a specialised night drive for nocturnal animals? Absolutely! The world is our oyster for the duration!

Making use of two 4x4 Landcruisers for our safari game drives means we can spread out more as as a group and accommodate more camera gear. Depending on the layout, we may alternate vehicles or rotate positions so that everyone has the same experience throughout - but we like to keep it relaxed and casual, with as much space and comfort as possible. The vehicles will be travelling in a loose-convoy, so there’s no threat of one vehicle seeing something that the other doesn’t.

Sam and the guides will be working to give you the best angles, positions and backdrops possible to make sure you go home with a remarkable new library of images. Sam will be talking through different processes of how to tackle different subjects and scenes - experimental and traditional whilst also offering photo editing tuition and help back at camp.
