In 2018 & 2019, photographer Bobby Neptune set out to photograph Kenya’s wild lands from the air.

There is a place in East Africa where the tarmac ends and if you continue for another 25 kilometers, there you will find a lone acacia tree tossed about by the winds as they rush across the open plains. It is something of an icon in East Africa, but it hasn’t suffered lightly to earn its honor. It has spent generations shielding the Masai from the perils of the African sun, fought the tallest of herbivores in creative ways, said no to the axe of development and beyond all that, it still stands. It can do so because it has strong roots.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked as a filmmaker and photographer all over the world. My roots, albeit originally grown in the US, were planted firmly in East Africa in my early twenties. I spent a lot of time in Uganda, Rwanda and then finally landed in Kenya to work as a photojournalist across the region. This has been the trajectory for most of the last 2 decades. I’ve been lucky enough to work extensively filmmaking and storytelling for conservation organizations, magazines, and even do a lot of work for National Geographic.
In my career, I’ve been witness to incredible journeys across Africa which have changed my life and I’ve done as good of a job as I can to share those with you publicly through my posts and stories.
But alot has happened in the last few years.
I broke my back.
Got Married.
And most recently, started A safari company
So now, in addition to sharing stories with you over the airwaves, I’m also doing that in person. With the safari company, I am booking and guiding some of the highest end, luxury safaris we can dream up with curated photographic experiences that only come from decades of experience photographing this landscape.
So, if you want to come out on a safari trip, or know somebody who does. Get in touch.
There will be Epic Wildlife.
Amazing Camps and Lodges
And stories that will forever shape your life.

Sunset over the Harding Ice Field in Kenai Fjords National Park outside of Seward Alaska. - Just as we got into the air, a thin layer of ocean fog strolled into the valley and covered most of the tidewater glaciers. We were able to sneak down below the fog into the Bear Glacier Lagoon to see a few ice chunks which had recently calved.

It has been a record breaking week in East Africa. Heavy rains, caused by an aggressive El Niño cycle in combination with a cyclone off the coast of Northern Mozambique, have cause widespread flooding across the entire region. In Kenya’s Masai Mara, the Talek River, a normally peaceful trickle of a stream hit record highs, breaching it’s banks and flooding over a dozen safari camps causing tens of millions of dollars of damage and likely closing those camps for the upcoming summer tourism season. — As a country which is still reliant on subsistence agriculture, rain is a good thing, but in the last 10-15 years, we are beginning to see a new pattern emerging of flood or drought with little to no moderation. #climatechange is dramatically affecting this region and as most of the developed world wakes up in their warm and dry houses, it’s worth considering the impact your individual and collective actions might have on those who live a world away from you. #kenyafloods

A series of dust storms moved through Amboseli National Park last week. Preceding the much needed rains, downdrafts from the approaching storms pushed huge quantities of dust into the air. The overall Amboseli ecosystem has been in severe drought stages for a while now, with wildlife dying at alarming rates. Most Masai who live in the area have also lost upwards of 80-90% of their livestock due to the drought, according to sources I spoke with this week. The rains have finally come, and the grass will start to regrow, however, this sort of drought is likely indicative of the future of the ecosystem and region as a whole. Heavy, short downpours of rain which cause flooding, followed by months of drought might end up being our new normal in the region.

Fairy circles in the Namib Rand Desert near Sossusvlei.

Cape Fur Seals on Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. Jackal will often feed on juveniles and new born seals, but unfortunately, the seal population has exploded in recent years and there are not enough land-based predators on the dunes to keep the numbers in check. The Skeleton Coast is an area of coast north of the main coastal city of Swakopmund, but most of the Namib coastline is commonly referred to as the Skeleton Coast.

@aenewbold and I did a spectacular trip to Namibia at the end of last year. We flew above the NamibRand Desert and saw Sossusvlei covered in mist from a storm which had rolled in from the Atlantic Ocean overnight.

Tilapia Farming cages on Lake Victoria in Western Kenya. Commercial fish farming is on the rise on Lake Victoria because overfishing has nearly wiped out fish stocks which have traditionally existed in the lake.

Since Instagram only wants reels, here is a reel of @aenewbold and I filming on safari earlier this year. Who wants to come on safari with us next year? Send me a note and we will make it happen. @swarovskioptik_outdoor
