About The Tour

Join us for an extraordinary 6 nights and 7 days Wildlife Photography Expedition to Amboseli and Tsavo West National Park in Kenya, two of East Africa’s most spectacular wildlife destinations. Located in southern Kenya, Amboseli National Park is world-renowned for its vast herds of elephants and incredible opportunities to photograph iconic wildlife such as Maasai giraffes, lions, and cheetahs against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. The park’s diverse habitats — from open plains and swamps to acacia woodlands and the Ol Doinyo Orok massif — provide stunning settings for both wildlife and bird photography, while cultural interactions with the Maasai people add an unforgettable dimension to the experience.

Our journey continues to Tsavo West National Park, a sprawling wilderness of over 9,000 sq km known for its breathtaking volcanic landscapes, lava flows, rocky outcrops, river forests, and natural springs. Highlights include the striking Shetani Lava Flows, panoramic Roaring Rocks, the beautiful Mzima Springs, and the chance to photograph highly endangered black rhinos at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary. The park’s rich biodiversity includes elephants, buffalo, eland, fringe-eared oryx, impala, gerenuk, and Maasai giraffes, among many others.

This immersive expedition combines world-class wildlife encounters with dramatic landscapes, making it one of the best wildlife photography tours in Kenya and East Africa. Perfect for photographers, naturalists, and safari enthusiasts, it offers a once-in-a-lifetime African wildlife photo safari experience in two of the continent’s most iconic national parks.

The Amboseli & Tsavo Wildlife Photography Expedition with DCP Expeditions was an absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and the learning opportunities were endless. One of the biggest highlights for me was the once-in-a-lifetime chance to photograph Craig, the legendary super tusker in Amboseli. Witnessing such a majestic elephant up close was beyond words—an unforgettable moment in my photography journey. The group was fantastic, filled with passionate wildlife lovers and photographers, making the entire trip so much more enjoyable. The fun, excitement, and camaraderie, combined with the thrill of capturing Africa’s stunning wildlife in their natural habitat, made this expedition truly special. A huge thanks to DCP Expeditions for such a well-planned adventure. Looking forward to more amazing trips in the future!
