Kenya Migration Photo Expedition

Explore Kenya's and Tanzania’s best wildlife reserves on an eco-friendly safari and witness East Africa’s Great Migration!

Join Natural Habitat Expedition Leader Pietro Luraschi as he shows us the magic of Kenya's Great Migration. Learn what it's like to discover a natural world that was the same hundreds of years ago, a world with hidden treasures you'll never see in documentaries.

Traveler David Gresham tells how a longtime passion for photography led him to go see the Great Migration on an East Africa safari with Nat Hab. In this personal encounter shared with firsthand footage, David describes the magic of being surrounded by wild animals all day, then returning to the idyllic comforts of a safari camp at night.

Whether you're taking the trip of a lifetime or just heading out for a long weekend in nature, you may be keen to capture memorable images of the landscapes and wildlife around you. Photo Expedition Leader Richard de Gouveia shares his tips for creating nature images that captivate and impress. He'll delve into techniques like adjusting shutter speed and mastering aperture, as well as cover composition rules and the significance of eye contact, using photos from his own portfolio of African wildlife like lions, leopards, elephants, gorillas and chimps.

In Part 1 of her “Artistic Wildlife Photography” series, South Africa Photo Expedition Leader Danielle Carstens explained how to use "high-key" and "low-key" photography techniques to capture wall-worthy photos of African wildlife, from lions and hippos to elephants, giraffes and marabou storks. In this follow-up, she shares advice on shooting animals in silhouette and using slow-shutter photography (including lighting conditions, camera settings and editing techniques) to create unique nature images.

The rich brown of a grizzly bear. The fluorescent green of a peat bog. The reds and golds of fall foliage. Nature knows no bounds when it comes to color, but capturing those hues in photos can be challenging. Expedition leader and pro photographer Charlie Reinertsen shares three approaches to color grading, all geared toward producing a natural, neutral color balance. Charlie will use Lightroom Classic to demonstrate these techniques (using his images of the Northern Peatlands and Yellowstone), but they can be applied in any photo-editing software.
