Ethiopia

Simien Mountains National Park is one of Ethiopia’s most visited UNESCO World Heritage Sites, known for its beautiful landscapes. The endemic and adorable Gelada Baboons are a highlight of this park. Other Ethiopian native mammals, such as the Simien Fox and the Walia Ibex, as well as indigenous birdlife, can be found in this magnificent location. Simien and Limalimo Lodges, a couple of the country’s luxury properties, add tremendous value for luxury travelers doing photography in such amazing national parks.

Hewed from a singing monolithic rock, the Rock Hewn Churches of lalibela are a must-to-photograph place for travellers coming to Ethiopia. A group of 11 churches sub categorised by 3 separate catagories, each church is monolithic, crafted from a gently sloped mass of red volcanic scoria underlain by dark grey basalt and interconnected by a labyrinth of tunnels and passages leading to celibate monk caves and tombs.

The Omo Valley of Ethiopia is home to some of the world’s most colorful and strangely decorated people. Tribes of the Omo Valley, such as the Hamar, Mursi, and Karo, continue to live almost exactly as they did hundreds of years ago, giving tourists the unique opportunity to photograph and engage with people who have largely escaped the impact of modernity. Ethiopia is home to a tremendous number of birds, many of which are massive, vibrant, and easy to photograph during trips to one of the off-beaten destinations in the region, mirroring the richness and color of the Omo’s incredible tribes.

Said to be the hottest place on earth, Danakil is located within the Afar Triangle, a geological canyon in Ethiopia’s far northeastern region where three tectonic plates are slowly diverging. Photographing Dallol Depression, Erta ale active Volcano, and the camel caravan in the region are the dreams of most photographers across the globe. 

Bale Mountain National Park, home to the country’s second highest peak, is known for its diverse fauna and flora. Wildlife photographers would love the park. Mountain Nyla, Ethiopian Wolf, Menelik Bushbuck, and a variety of endemic birds can all be found in the Bale Mountain.

Kenya

The Masai Mara Reserve is undoubtedly Africa’s best wildlife destination. The Mara is the northernmost corner of the Serengeti ecosystem, and it is so incredible that a brief description cannot do it justice. This area is one of the best places on the continent to see lions and cheetahs. Birds are often a significant part of the Mara experience, and everyone enjoys the awesomeness of lilac-breasted rollers and saddle-billed storks, the regal demeanor of hawks and eagles, and the excitement of a squabbling throng of vultures on a carcass.

The spectacular “crossings” of zebras and wildebeests across the Mara River, as well as the amazing and dramatic interplay between them and the resident Nile crocodiles is the most photogenic incidence in the country. 

The northern Kenya’s arid savannah, Samburu, has golden grasslands, acacia woodlands, and an imposing escarpment. Samburu is famous for its mammals, which include soil-stained “red” elephants, rare Grevy’s zebras, reticulated giraffes, gerenuk, oryx, and dik-diks. Birds abound, with colorful bee-eaters, kingfishers, Somali ostriches, and vulturine guinea fowls among them.

The untouched and elusive jewel of Lake Turkana is a discreet oasis in Kenya’s Rift Valley Province for those seeking a cultural photography experience. Its serene and idyllic atmosphere is absolutely surreal, making it ideal for the offbeat photographer. This photo safari will concentrate on the tribes who live along the shores of Lake Turkana. The Nilotic tribes are Kenya’s second largest pastoralist group after the Maasais. The unique lake shores and sand dunes, as well as herds of camels and donkeys, will allow you to create interesting images in a very remote environment.

Djibouti

Besides its popularity for its diving experiences, Djibouti is also remarkable for its rich fauna and flora which is making it a bucket list for many photographers. The endemic bird Francolin De Djibouti, the Beira gazelle, the Smaller than Dik dik, and the Hyrex are some of the endemic species present in the Republic of Djibouti. Giraffe gazelle, Summering gazelle, Thomson gazelle, Dik-Dik gazelle, Chita, hyena, and ostrich are among other common animals which can be also found in Djibouti.

Djibouti is one of the best in the world for diving and snorkeling, thanks to more than 140 varieties of endemic corals found in the region surrounding the 7 Brothers Islands. Another great experience underwater photographers wouldn’t like to miss is the Whale Shark season, which runs from October to February.
