Kenya – Black Leopard Photo Safari II 2023
Fully Booked
19 Jul 2023 – 26 Jul 2023
ORYX is proud to present you with a wildlife photo safari to the Laikipia wilderness as we embark on an exciting journey to photograph one of the rarest big cats in all of Africa; the melanistic black leopard.
Until recently, the odds of spotting an African melanistic black leopard in the wild would have been deemed impossible as there were no records or images of their presence. For more than a century, melanistic black leopards were not documented in Africa until 2018 when a small population was discovered on a series of camera trap images in Laikipia, Kenya.
Over the last 3 years, guides and trackers have spent hours understanding the movement and territories of these animals, which has resulted in regular sightings of these rare big cats.
This Kenya photo safari is exclusively designed to not only take you to the heart of the melanistic black leopard territory, with dedicated night drives to maximise photographic opportunities, but also to enjoy Kenya’s wildlife in seclusion from the crowds.
