About The Tour

Located in the southern reaches of Kenya, the Amboseli National Park is renowned for its excellent variety of wildlife such as Maasai giraffe, elephant, lion and cheetah and not surprisingly it is one of Kenya's most popular parks. The landscape of Amboseli is dominated by the majestic snowcap of Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as open plains, acacia woodland, swamps and the massif of Ol Doinyo Orok. The birding is excellent, especially closer to the lakes and swamps. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to large herds of elephants among other wildlife species. Other attractions include opportunities to meet the Maasai people and soak up spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.

Located in Kenya's Coast Province, Tsavo West National Park stretches for over 9000 square kilometres and is one of Kenya’s most impressive parks. Tsavo West’s spectacular natural scenery includes volcanic cones, swamps, rocky outcrops and lava flows, mountains, river forests, plains, lakes, natural springs, and wooded grassland. The other-worldly, black, layering Shetani Lava Flows, named after the devil, spreads over the savannah. Other incredible natural attractions include the awe-inspiring Chaimu Crater; the Roaring Rocks, offering panoramic views; and the gorgeous Mzima Springs, the main source of water for the Tsavo River. Animal lovers will enjoy the chance to see highly endangered black rhinos at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, and a list of other animals in the park including large herds of elephants, common waterbuck, eland, buffalo, gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, impala, and Maasai giraffe.

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!
