On January 15th an annular solar eclipse will take place in Kenya, East Africa. The annularity will last 8 and 1/2 minutes, the longest annular eclipse of the 21st Century.

WildTrek Safaris is offering a very special tour to view the eclipse from Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya, directly in the path of the eclipse. Not only will you be able to view the eclipse, but do so surrounded by amazing wildlife; rhino, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, lion and thousands of birds. This will truly be a very special and memorable viewing experience.

After the eclipse participants will go on safari to some of the best wildlife parks in East Africa. In addition to visiting Lake Nakuru National Park, participants will visit the tropical mountain forests of Aberdare National Park, the expansive desert of Samburu National Reserve, the bush country of Laikipia, take a hike in the canyons of Hell’s Gate National Park and visit the vast savanna of world renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Throughout the safari will be opportunities to see all the wildlife for which East Africa is known. Participants will also be able to view new night skies removed from large cities, at an intensity not normally seen in the northern hemisphere.

SPECIAL MAASAI MARA DIGITAL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY CLINIC

In 2010 we will be offering special clinics for both amateur and professional wildlife photographers.

The clinics will take place in the famous Maasai Mara National Reserve and the Olare Orok Conservancy. The clinics are led by Mike and Judy Rainy. The Rainys are wildlife researchers and photographers who operate Ol Kanjau Camp in Amboseli.

With the Rainy’s many years of experience of wildlife research in Kenya, they can assist photographers in understanding the behavior of the wildlife subjects and when are likely to be the best opportunities for the best shots.

The two week long clinics are only open to a maximum of 4 photographers and is ideal for couples. Accommodations will be at a private cottage just outside the Mara, at The Olare Orok Conservancy. Olare Orok is an exceptional location for wildlife photography with very restricted tourist access and no human settlements or Maasai livestock permitted.
