Appreciate the info, unfortunately it appears the Safari dates are during my daughter's school year and as a teacher she wouldn't be permitted to take more then two or three days off. Others have sent suggestions and I will research them all. This would be a "bucket list" photo trip for me and a wonderful way of saying "thank you" to my daughter for being there for me after the passing of my wife in 2014.

Muench Workshops. I went with them to Antarctica and Alaska. Would love to do one of their safari trips.

[quote=72mgb]Hello everyone, there was a previous topic related to who the group would recommend as a photographer for an Africian Safari. If any of you would be kind enough to relist those who you used or recommend, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks[/quote

You would have to take a number! Havebeen in touch with the folks at Mammoth Safari, even though it may be a bit over my budget, when my wife passed in 2014, I promised my daughter that I would take her on a journey she would remember when I am no longer here. These folks told me there are lots of cheetahs in the mid summer time frame and that is what I wish to photograph the most.

Mammoth Safari looks great! Which of their trips are you going to do? The Maasai Mara was the best for cheetah in my very limited experience in Africa.

Not sure which area(s) we will be exploring. Since this will probably a one time trip, I have built in the extra cost of having a private guide/vehicle for the days out in the field.

I highly recommend Federico Veronesi. He is a young Italian man who moved to Nairobi, Kenya many years ago.
He has a private tent and his customized truck in the Masai Mara.
I did a 17 day trip with him, that was amazing. I am still friends on facebook with him & one of the guides he uses.

Federico was driving his truck and 3 friends were in another truck and got this image. That is me, with the white hair. We all had long lenses and couldn't even photograph this stunning leopard because she was to close. Federico has a tripod head mounted on a shelf out the drivers door.

I think being there all the time, they know exactly where the animals are. He has a relationship with the Masai men. He wanted us to see a well know tusker, who often leaves the preserve. He was able to contact and get info where the elephant was.
