BIG TUSKERS + HIDES

Join me June 24th - July 1, 2026 for a 8-day/7-night photography safari limited to just 4 guests

If Africa were a dream, this would be it…

At the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the plains of Amboseli are home to some of the most extraordinary elephants on Earth… the legendary Super Tuskers, among the last elephants in Africa whose ivory tusks grow so long they almost brush the ground.

On this safari, we combine time with these giants with an unforgettable experience at the Shompole hides, where the wild comes to you. As darkness falls, animals emerge from the African night to drink at the waterhole just metres away, offering a rare and intimate opportunity to observe and photograph wildlife in a way few people ever experience.

From the iconic elephants beneath Kilimanjaro to the drama of nocturnal wildlife at Shompole, this journey reveals Africa at its most powerful, atmospheric, and unforgettable.
