The morning and late afternoon are devoted to working in the field, while the early afternoon and evening - after dinner - the workshop continues with theoretical and practical lessons about digital photography and how to improve the image taking and visualization techniques. Imagine being awakened by the aroma of Kenyan tea and coffee, served in your cottage by a Maasai waiter. Imagine sipping them on your veranda, while admiring and photographing Mt. Kilimanjaro under the rosy light of sunrise, before leaving for your morning excursion, either on foot with the Maasai trackers or by a Land Rover. After the photographic safari, you will go back to the camp for a large breakfast, including fresh local fruit, yogurt, cereals, biscuits, home-made cakes, and toast with butter and jam.
