Join me in Amboseli to capture the giants of the savannah. From finding the perfect angle of Mount Kilimanjaro to tracking legendary tuskers, these expeditions are designed to help you tell the jungle's stories through your lens.

A classic Amboseli scene: a huge herd of elephants running against the backdrop of a cloud-kissed Mount Kilimanjaro. When something spooked the herd, I was ready to capture the chaos and motion.

A super tusker elephant grazes in Amboseli with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. My African photo safaris are designed to help you capture these breathtaking, paradise-like frames.

The elephant king, the mighty Craig. Seeing this gentle giant, who feels like a mammoth from the Ice Age, at close quarters is a humbling experience.

About African Expeditions

Africa is vast, and the sheer scale can be overwhelming for your camera settings. In our expeditions, we focus on the practical details, such as anticipating movement in the field, choosing the right lens for wide-angle landscape shots, and knowing exactly where to position the vehicle to frame elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Hi, I am Harsha, but most know me as Catman. I have spent 15 years living the stories of the wild, and I believe the best way to capture them is to become part of the environment, not just an observer. I will guide you through the plains of Africa to help you find your unique voice behind the lens.
