Africa Through My Lens | Maasai Mara - A Photographer's Dream

Excited to share my recently concluded Africa Extravaganza Photo Tour in May 2023.
Africa!! What is an instant memory when you hear the word, Africa? To me, it's SAFARIS. The vast plains and the diversity of wildlife species one gets to see at this amazing landscape, is second to none. I've dreamt about this for years... Come experience a few glimpses of what I've seen, I hope it inspires you and brings a smile on your face.
I specialise in Wildlife Photography, feel free to get in touch as I'm currently planning my next tour later this year and early next year. There are options to choose, a full-day safari with me as your guided photo mentor vs a relaxed guided tour with morning and evening safaris. Do not hesitate to drop an enquiry to ram.naturetalks@gmail.com and we'll take it from there.
We all had that moment of 'touching the inner soul', our eyes shed a tear, as we couldn't believe we had to bid good-bye to Mara so soon.... The entire Africa Extravaganza Photo Tour was enriching to all of us, the participants were over the moon, so was I! We couldn't be any less thankful to our guide, Frank, for his immense knowledge of the park, his effort & skills..for being at the right place, at the right time! Equally my friend and travel planner, Tilak Raj of Safari Kannadiga, for ensuring I had the right guide, the right place of stay and all the required permits at all places, planning this to perfection. And my dear friend who helped me connect with all the right people, Mohammed Yasir, an old friend whom I was meeting after a decade. Last but not the least, my dear participants, Sunitha, Kavitha and Parvathi, who believed in my itinerary and wanted to explore Africa the way I wanted to show them... I'm glad they are walking away with memories of a lifetime and images that will narrate a story!
This is my first attempt in bringing in making a short-film, hope you liked viewing, please do share your views in the comments below.
