Everyone wants the Big Five—but the Masai Mara offers so much more for photographers. Think: dramatic skies, intimate close-ups, abstract textures, and even cultural portraits of the Maasai people.

On a Masai Mara photography tour with Mara Siligi Camp, we encourage guests to explore beyond the expected. Our guides know where to find lesser-known but equally stunning subjects—from owls in acacia trees to hyenas at sunrise.

Our Masai Mara photography tour packages also include optional cultural visits and scenic drives to capture the broader essence of the Mara. So, bring your curiosity along with your camera—you’ll come home with more than just lion shots.
