Kenya Photography Safari: Amboseli & Maasai Mara

Experience Kenya through your lens on an expertly guided photographic safari with Jason Bradley - 10th-21st February 2027

This carefully curated journey takes you to two of the country’s most iconic wildlife destinations—Amboseli National Park and the legendary Maasai Mara—timed for exceptional wildlife encounters and optimal photographic conditions.
 
Designed for photographers of all abilities, this immersive safari blends expert tuition with unforgettable game viewing. Whether you’re refining your technical skills or simply looking to capture more compelling images, you’ll benefit from hands-on guidance in the field—learning how to work with light, composition, and animal behaviour in real time.
 
Within the greater Mara ecosystem, you’ll explore exclusive conservancies including Olare Motorogi Conservancy and Ol Kinyei Conservancy. These protected areas offer lower vehicle density and more intimate wildlife sightings, creating ideal conditions for both photography and a deeper, more respectful connection to nature.
 
Expect extraordinary opportunities to photograph Africa’s most iconic wildlife—from vast elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro to predators on the open plains. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, and elephants are all regularly encountered, providing a rich and diverse portfolio of subjects.
 
This is more than a safari—it’s a focused photographic experience designed to elevate your skills, expand your portfolio, and immerse you in some of Africa’s most remarkable landscapes and wildlife habitats.
Jason Bradley Photographer

Jason Bradley is a professional wildlife and fine art photographer with over 30 years of experience. An accomplished educator and workshop leader, he has guided safaris and photographic journeys across the globe, with a particular focus on East Africa.
His trips are designed for both photographers and non-photographers alike. Whether working with professional camera systems or a mobile phone, Jason encourages guests
to slow down, observe more deeply, and connect more fully with what they are experiencing.
Jason is the owner of Bradley Print and Photo, a fine art print lab and gallery in Pacific Grove, California, created to help photographers transform their work into museum-
quality prints. He is also the founder of Wild Eye Magazine, a publication dedicated to wildlife, underwater, and conservation photography, built on the belief that powerful
imagery can inspire awareness and connection.
What sets Jason’s safaris apart is the level of care and intention behind every detail.
These are not standard tours, but thoughtfully designed experiences. Small group sizes and limited vehicles create a more personal and immersive time in the field, while
curated moments—from bush breakfasts and sundowners to private charters and authentic Maasai cultural experiences—add depth and meaning to the journey. The result is a seamless, elevated safari experience where every detail is considered, allowing guests to be fully present and deeply engaged with the landscape and wildlife around them.

Thank you for an incredible trip! The trip was miles over our expectations.  We learned so much about the wildlife , Kenya, and how to take a non-blob picture.  I could see improvement in my pictures over the course of our Safari, even using a point and shot camera
