Africa through Lenses:
Looking at life through a camera lens enables, encourages, and even obliges one to see things steadily and to see them whole. Our Kenya photo safari will take you to the heart of the region's best photographic locations; from the majestic snow-capped mountains, to wide open spaces of spectacular views. From a myriad of wildlife living freely as nature intended, to exotic white-sandy beaches. From modern cities to small villages, where colourful and friendly people live by age-old customs.
When it comes to getting good pictures of people, the primary problem photographers encounter is that of being in a tourist frame of mind set, as long as you see yourself as an outsider, you’ll be treated like one, again there will be a berth that will be perceptible in your photos. To remedy this, Tambuga guides help you establish a rapport with your subjects, show interest and communicate with them. This enables you get a photo that reflects who they are, how they feel, and what their life is like in their own environment.
Our objective is to guide you on how to execute a "good picture" one that gives your argument a more special sense of place, pay attention to what’s around you to give information about where you are. When people are engaged in an activity, photos become further intoxicating. A photo of someone you don’t recognize doesn’t mean much unless there’s something about them that explains who they are, or what they gain. The idea is to make the frequent lives of the people of Kenya and East Africa a prominent example to portray and indenture the meaning.
Wildlife photography in Kenya dates back to the Colonial Era where wildlife ran side by side with open ranching, but these areas now are proclaimed National Parks/Game Reserves. For wildlife and nature photography we start our morning expedition early when the predators are busy hunting for breakfast, and the light is just right for recording African images, we retire back to camp at mid day when the tropical African sun is scorching hot. Our afternoon photo expeditions will be towards sunset where you can capture the beautiful African sun sink, creating picture perfect silhouettes of the African bush and hills as well as animals hunting for dinner.
Our photo safari programmes are designed to give you ample time in the selected Game Parks/Reserves, to enable you have the real feeling of a place and allow you record your images in the most relaxed manner, which will make your stay-at-home friends envious. With only four participants in each vehicle, a local guide experienced in both film and digital mediums, who purely understand the needs of photographers, your Kenya photo safari will be a productive and unforgettable photographic adventure!
Some advice that is useful to an ardent photographer: Choose your equipment and film carefully to meet any challenge. Take sufficient film and batteries for your cameras. The camera must be easy to handle under all circumstances and have protective covering against dust. Another important accessory in wildlife photography is the `Bean Bag' useful as a "tripod" made of canvas with a zip opening. The bag is filled with some type of legume (dry peas or beans) in order to give heavy lenses a stable base when operating from the side of a vehicle, whether a minibus or Land Cruiser.
This safari is only for the serious traveler, either about wildlife and nature photography, or about in-depth, intense, and patient hideous swivel. The two, to a photographer, are the same, for patience, time, and luck are required in order to obtain great wildlife images. This is not a safari for tourists. This is a safari for photographers and to those who really want to do a safari right.
