Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for wildlife photography in Nanyuki?

During these months, vegetation is sparser, and animals often congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot and photograph. The golden light during early mornings and late afternoons is also spectacular.
Can Mtalii Bush Camps arrange for a professional wildlife photographer?
While we don't employ resident photographers, we partner with highly skilled local wildlife photographers who can be hired for your safari. They possess intimate knowledge of the Nanyuki region and its wildlife, ensuring you get the most out of your photographic adventure. Please inquire about availability and rates when booking.
What should I pack for a Nanyuki safari photography trip?
