The Masai Mara is renowned for its sweeping savannas and abundant wildlife. It’s home to some of Africa’s most famous species, including lions, cheetahs, and elephants. The annual migration brings even more life to the plains, creating breathtaking wildlife viewing. From predators stalking their prey to peaceful moments among grazing herds, the Mara offers a rich and diverse landscape for photography.

Yet this remarkable region faces challenges, with habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict threatening its delicate balance. Conservation efforts are critical, and Nisha Purushothaman is deeply involved in this mission. As co-owner of a sustainable safari camp, she focuses on reducing the environmental impact of tourism. Her photo expeditions in the region highlight both the beauty and vulnerability of Masai Mara wildlife. Nisha’s most cherished images are the “mama moments” between big cats and their cubs. Through her work, she aims to inspire protection of these wild spaces for generations to come.
