Itinerary

6 days/ 5 nights

Day 1: Arrival and Introduction Drive

Upon arriving in Nairobi, your journey to Laikipia begins. A scenic drive takes you through ever-changing landscapes to the Laikipia Wilderness River Camp, where you'll arrive in time for a delectable lunch. After settling into your accommodations, the afternoon is dedicated to an introduction drive, acquainting you with the unique terrain and wildlife of Laikipia. As the day concludes, dinner is served at the camp, providing an opportunity to share experiences and expectations for the upcoming days.

Days 2-5: Black Leopard Photography Expedition

Each day begins before dawn, with a cup of coffee and some fresh local fruits preceding morning game drives. The primary focus is capturing images of Giza, the elusive black leopard, during the magical moments as the day breaks. Explore different corners of Laikipia, home to diverse wildlife, including reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, elephants, and various predators. A mid-morning brunch along the river or by the dams offers a chance to review photographs and appreciate the stunning scenery.

The late morning  is dedicated to continuing game drives, exploring different landscapes, from rocky ridges to riverine forests. After returning to the camp, some leisure time is in order, optional photography workshops or post-processing sessions with Dan Peel are available. Late afternoon and early evening game drives provide another opportunity to capture the beauty of Laikipia during the golden hour. If conditions permit, dinners under the stars add a magical touch to the day's end.

During these days we will learn about Giza’s habits and behaviours, studying her. This will help us hopefully get the perfect shot, following her and anticipating her next move is what Dan really loves.

 

Day 6: Final Morning Game Drive and Departure

The last morning of your safari starts early, with one final game drive to capture the last moments and memories of Laikipia's wildlife. The focus remains on spotting Giza, the black leopard, and cherishing the unique experiences. After the game drive, return to the camp for a hearty breakfast. Enjoy some leisure time for packing and preparation before brunch with fellow participants, sharing stories and photographs.

Late morning is time to check out from the camp. A transfer back to Nairobi allows you to reflect on the incredible experiences and photographs captured during the safari. This detailed itinerary aims to maximize photography opportunities while balancing wildlife exploration with moments of relaxation and learning, ensuring a well-rounded and unforgettable safari experience in Laikipia.
