Nature Journeys
Join Alex McLean and a small group of like minded people on a trip of a lifetime.
Kisaru works with local agents and operators to provide private guided and small group nature and photographic safaris, primarily in east and southern Africa. Selected local operators engage Kisaru to provide the services of Alex McLean to accompany guests and work with local guides.
Trips are suitable for photographers of all abilities as well as non-photographers who enjoy a slower paced, more immersive safari experience. All trips have a strong focus on responsible tourism, with a preference for using owner operated camps and lodges.

TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve just returned from a spectacular and magical trip to Kenya, expertly led by Alex, who left nothing to chance. Everything was superbly organized – the advance preparations and communications were meticulously detailed and it was obvious that Alex was held in high esteem everywhere we went. His passion for Africa is infectious and I would definitely do this again!”
— DM, Ireland“I can't recommend Kisaru more highly. Having completed many safaris throughout Africa, I can say without hesitation that the trip I took with Alex was the highlight. Alex is an excellent guide with a knack of bringing groups together in friendship and creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you are hesitating, please don't.”
— MR, Ireland“Alex is an excellent guide. He shared his knowledge with the group very well, making sure that each of the priorities for the touring group became a viewing priority across the safari. This trip exceeded our expectations. We felt well looked after, planning was easy and the day by day experience was memorable. Looking forward to returning to Africa!”
