Award winning photographer Janis Hurley takes you on an African wildlife journey through four extraordinary locations.

  • Lake Nakuru National Park is a landscape of striking beauty and rich biodiversity located in the Great Rift Valley. With it’s renowned alkaline soda lake, home to over 400 bird species it is a birdwatcher's paradise. Award winning photos of Acacia woodlands Leopards and endangered populations Rothchild’s giraffes will amaze and entertain.

  • The vast golden savannahs of the Northern Masai Mara Ecosystem is a land of big cats! The endless golden savannas, lone trees standing starkly under immense dramatic skies, form a spectacular landscape for capturing these amazing hunters in their natural habitat.

  • Mt. Kilimanjaro overlooks the globally renowned Amboseli National Park, home to the Amboseli Trust for Elephants with a population of protected African Elephants containing bulls known as “Super Tuskers”. 

  • Experience a helicopter flight over Lake Magadi in the Great Rift Valley by day  and a night with animals approaching the Lentorre Lodge waterhole.
