What is unique about this African Safari workshop?
We are going to visit 5 different locations. Tsavo East National Park, where we will find some of the largest herd of elephants in Kenya; Tsavo West National Park, where we will experience a myriad of species; Amboseli National Park, where we will photograph wildlife against Kilimanjaro as a backdrop; Amboseli Conservation Area, the largest corridor of elephant migration; Masai Mara National Reserve, where we will photograph wildlife in the African savannah.
We are going to have a private visit at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Rescue Center. This is amazing organization that rescue elephants to give them a future, protect wildlife against poachers, etc.
Our photo safari is designed to maximize wildlife viewing (aka minimize driving time and distance, choosing hotels at close proximity to the photoshoot locations), whether it is for serious photography or simply the thrill of observing animals in their natural habitat.
The safari is scheduled during an exciting time of the year, when many animals have their young. The landscape is green and lush, the air is fresh, and there are few tourists. This is the time of the year, where you will experience Africa in peace, without countless vehicles surrounding wildlife.
The places we'll visit are top notch for wildlife. You'll travel in 4x4 vehicle, with a full row seat assigned to you. With such layout, you’ll get very unique perspective.
You'll also benefit from group lectures (focus on image quality, workflow speed and accuracy) and one-on-one reviews where we discuss “what can you do next, how can you expand your comfort zone, make images that are not found thousand times on google”. The experience will enable you to enhance your photography, to work on personal projects, and to discover who you are as a photographer. Our style is to open your eyes, mind, and creativity to possibilities that you thought were not reachable. Bring your dreams to reality in this once in a lifetime workshop.
We’ll have exquisite nature and wildlife and the following added experience:
1. Oliver Klink's technical expertise covers the gamut from iPhone, to DSLR, to mirrorless camera, to digital medium format camera. You’ll receive first hand advices that he uses on a daily basis with his various cameras. He will build your confidence so you get ready for “the shot”.
2. Oliver teaches you how to photograph and find a vision for your photographic endeavor. There are no substitutes to nightly image reviews, one-on-one instructions, and guidelines to best capture these amazing scenes. You’ll be able to get creative day after day and get inspired by the wealth of knowledge he shares.
3. Our group is kept to 8 people maximum, which enables us to be nimble and find the best spots to experience wildlife.
4. Prime dates for the trip. The animals are healthy, have their young, and contrast with the background (lush green). We also avoid the tourist and holiday rush.
5. We will photograph in three very diverse environments. Red clay at Tsavo, Kilimanjaro as a backdrop in Amboseli, African savannah at Masai Mara National Reserve.
6. Come back home with images and experience you dreamed about. It is finally going to be real!
7. This is a true 15 days safari. The trip starts and ends in Nairobi. No gimmicks about including traveling days from and to your home country.
8. We will photograph daily on safari game drives and from the lodges. Some lodges have amazing views of wildlife gathering around water holes.
9. Parks scouted for best wildlife opportunity, unique photoshoot opportunities - A safari workshop designed for photographers to make dreams come true!
Hope to see you in May at our Kenya Wildlife Safari.

Oliver Klink has been photographing in Africa since 2006. His image, “The Great Migration” won the grand prize at PhotoCentral Gallery Spring Show in 2013, others have received “mentioned” in the Black and White Spidar Awards for the past 5 years. “On my first trip to Africa, I wanted to see everything. I spent more time driving from famous locations to famous locations. After so many years, I have minimized the travel time to stop at parks that are unbelievable for specific species. This workshop is not a “zoo tour”. During our first review session, I will ask you: “Can this image be taken in a zoo?” Our local guides are passionate about wildlife and eager to be the first one out in the morning and last one in in the evening. Time spend in the field is key to embrace this one in a life time experience.”
Local staff members (drivers and guides) who enrich our stay with the most current information, special activities, and “ways in” to places you only dream about!
