Description
We are pleased to present the ‘Kenya Explorer - Photographic Expedition’, an adventure designed exclusively for photographers who want access to some of the lesser-known locations for wildlife photography in the land of the noble Maasai.
Your tour will be lead by award-winning photographer John Quintero, who will provide you with advice and teaching to ensure you achieve spectacular photographs. Accompanied by expert Maasai guides, who know these lands better than anyone, you will experience exclusive encounters with not only the wildlife but also the communities, to learn about their way of life and the traditions of this ancient African culture.
We guarantee you a fascinating experience in a dream destination. Join us to find out why the word 'safari' was born in Kenya, and why it means 'the journey’ in the Swahili language.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXPEDITION EXTRAORDINARY
• An expedition dedicated exclusively to providing the best wildlife sighting opportunities on off-road routes, to see and photograph the animals more closely.

• The opportunity to visit the locations at the perfect times to maximise available light for stunning photography.
• Visits to Maasai communities to experience their traditions and witness the magic of this iconic African culture.
• Contribution to the conservation of wildlife and the well-being of the Maasai communities. We only work with companies committed to sustainable and conservation tourism.
• Advice before, during and after the expedition regarding equipment, setting, tips and the photographic material captured.

JQ delivered his "Up close and personal: a Photographic Journey in South America, Asia and Africa" to Woking Photographic Society. The images were all terrific and some of the stories behind them quite astonishing, all delivered in a very personable style. A thoroughly enjoyable evening and we would love to see more of John's work at some stage in the future.
