Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for a wildlife photography tour in Nanyuki?
The dry seasons, from June to October and December to March, generally offer the best opportunities for wildlife photography in Nanyuki. During these months, water sources are scarce, concentrating animals and making them easier to spot. The light is also often dramatic, perfect for capturing stunning images.
What photography gear do you recommend bringing for a Nanyuki tour?
We recommend bringing a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens (e.g., 70-200mm or 100-400mm) for wildlife. A wider lens can be useful for landscapes and larger scenes. Extra batteries, memory cards, a sturdy tripod or monopod, and a rain cover are also essential for capturing the best shots in varying conditions.
Can Mtalii Bush Camps arrange private guides for specialized wildlife photography?
Absolutely. Mtalii Bush Camps specializes in creating personalized experiences. We can arrange private guides who are not only expert trackers but also skilled wildlife photographers themselves, ensuring you have dedicated attention and the best possible positioning for your shots.
