Overview
The Shutter Monks Expedition to Maasai Mara offers an unparalleled photography adventure, centered around the awe-inspiring phenomenon of the Great Migration. This annual spectacle, often called the “World Cup of Wildlife,” sees millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles traversing the Mara River, braving crocodile-infested waters and stalking predators as they journey across the golden savannahs in search of greener pastures. For photographers, it’s a rare opportunity to capture the drama, movement, and sheer scale of one of nature’s most extraordinary events. In addition to this breathtaking migration, the expedition provides chances to photograph Africa’s iconic Big Five—lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalos—against the stunning backdrops of Maasai Mara’s sunrise and sunset skies. Guided by seasoned wildlife photographers and experts, participants gain invaluable skills while enjoying cultural exchanges with the Maasai people and luxurious accommodations that immerse them in the heart of the wilderness.
