www.African Safaris and Travel - Dedicated Photographic Safaris in East Africa!
Wildlife photography and traditional safaris don't often mix. As a photographer, it's always frustrating when your guide, or the people on your safari vehicle, are uninterested in subjects that you would like to photograph.

Wildlife photography requires patience, preparation, dedication and a guide that understands how to get you into the right position for that perfect capture. You also need lots of space and equipment to move in your vehicle. In short - you need to go on a dedicated photographic safari!
We are proud to anounce that we have teamed up with Asilia Africa, to bring you the best dedicated photographic safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania - expert guides and specially adapted photographic Safari vehicles!
Asilia Photographic Safari Vehicles
Our Photographic Safari vehicles can accommodate 3 photographers (and their equipment) as well as 1 additional guest who would sit beside the driver. The driver’s side seat is not accommodated for photographer’s though, so they would just be joining for the ride and experience.
Photographic Safari Vehicle Extras
- Drop-down sides for photographers to lie down and get low angle photographs
- Three 360º swivel seats, one per “row” – seats also lean right back if required
- Only front and back bars to hold up the roofless obstruction of view for photography
- Beanbags and foam camera rest (photographers advised to bring their own tripods)
- All the usual Asilia vehicle kit – fridge, charging points, roll down sides for bad weather etc.
Need to Know:
- Accommodates 3 photographers + 1 additional guest in front seat next to driver.
- Seat next to driver is not specialised/no additional
functionality so if there are 4 photographers we ask our
agent partners to manage their
expectations at booking stage that they must take turns. - Not possible to use from a 3rd party property – must be an Asilia Camp.
