(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 17, 2011 ) TAMPA, FL.-- Terra Incognita Ecotours, an adventure travel company that specializes in unforgettable ecotours around the world, is announcing a new photography tour that takes travelers to Rwanda and Kenya to learn how to capture wildlife on film. This photography tour will be led by acclaimed National Geographic wildlife photographer, Kevin Schafer, voted “Nature Photographer of the Year” in 2007 by the North American Nature Photographers Association. The tour offers guests close encounters with mountain gorillas and exotic African wildlife in Rwanda and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Throughout this tour, Kevin will be available to help ensure that guests return home with the best possible images from this once in a lifetime African adventure.

Kevin Schafer is an award-winning natural history photographer, whose photographs have appeared in all of the major science and nature publications in the US, including National Geographic, Smithsonian, Natural History, and National Wildlife. He also works regularly with conservation organizations such as the Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Fund, and is a founding Fellow of the Int'l League of Conservation Photographers. To learn more about him visit www.kevinschafer.com .

On this tour, travelers will journey through some of the most spectacular terrain on earth through Rwanda, to Akagera National Park for classic game drives, a boat ride on Lake Ihema, and accommodation in Akagera Lodge. Guests journey north through RwandaÂ’s beautiful terraced hillsides, take a tour of RwandaÂ’s Genocide Museum, and then move on to Volcanoes National Park. While visiting this part of Rwanda, visitors will meet a veterinarian from the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project to hear about their remarkable ongoing efforts to protect the Mountain Gorillas, go gorilla tracking twice, and pay a visit to the grave of famed primatologist Dian Fossey, located next to that of Digit, her long-time favorite Gorilla.

The second portion of the trip includes an optional extension to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Travelers are whisked off to the Little Governor's Camp in the Masai Mara, located in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Mara, only 30 minutes away from the regular river crossing sites. Throughout their time in the Masai Mara, guests will be treated to morning and evening game drives including close encounters with some of the Big 5, cultural interactions with Masaai people, gourmet cuisine, and much more.

A donation will be made to the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project on behalf of each participant in order to continue the important task of providing preventive and emergency health care to these critically endangered creatures.
