For many years, I had dreamed of going on a photographic safari in Africa, especially to photograph the Big Five. But for various reasons, it had never happened — until now. I had been following Ingrid for years through her website and newsletters, and I compared her trips with those offered by others. It didn’t take long for me to make my decision: the chance of making my dream come true was clearly greatest with Ingrid Vekemans, thanks to her many years of experience. After signing up, we received an enormous amount of useful information and practical tips. We got to know our fellow travellers and Ingrid, and then, on 12 September 2026, we stepped onto the tarmac at Nairobi Airport. From that moment onwards, an unforgettable holiday began — one that far exceeded even my wildest dreams. Everything was planned and organised down to the very last detail, with clear briefings, advice on camera settings and photographic compositions, beautiful accommodation and delicious food. We travelled in two spacious Land Rovers, specially equipped for photography, driven by Ingrid’s regular drivers, Geoffrey and Amos. Besides having eagle eyes, they seemed to possess several other senses unknown to me, allowing them to find animals hidden in the vast parks, all while maintaining an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. There is not a single negative or disappointing point I can mention about this trip. That is why I have such enormous respect for Ingrid. Thank you a thousand times, Ingrid! I’ll be booking my second photographic safari with you very soon.
