Kenya 2016

We'll be back!

Just a quick update to advise that we are returning to Kenya on safari this September and will be blogging live again to raise funds for Save The Elephants through our Just Giving page.

If any photographers would like to join us, please let us know as soon as possible. Our safaris are considerably more affordable than the luxury trips provided by tour operators: we go to take photographs not to be pampered by underpaid locals employed by a multinational corporation that takes all the profits out of the country. Our safaris are self-drive and involve camping in the bush, interspersed with stays in locally owned hotels and lodges, so that the money we spend in Kenya stays in Kenya. We don't make a profit from including people in our safaris; what we ask you to pay is only your fair share of the costs and we are up-front from the get-go about what those costs are likely to be. What we are asking this year is that any photographers joining us make a donation of £100 to Save The Elephants through our Just Giving page

This year's safari is only two weeks instead of the usual three but will still include time in Tsavo East, Tsavo West and several days camping in the Masai Mara during the wonder that is the Wildebeest Migration. Take a look at some of the entries from last year's live blog to find out what you might encounter on one of our safaris and if you are interested in joining us, please let us know as soon as possible. As a taster, please see the images below:

Even if you can't manage or don't want to join us, please consider making a donation to Save The Elephants to help with their vital work in protecting the Elephant through our Just Giving page.

And finally for now...

Some Elephants!
