Indochine Photoshop Workshop with Ben Wilmore
This unique journey combines a Photoshop workshop featuring renowned Photoshop guru Ben Willmore with unforgettable cultural exploration and photography adventures in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, including magnificent Angkor Wat.
The snows of Kilimanjaro soar like an apparition over East Africa’s shimmering plains, and in Hemingway’s words, they’re “as wide as all the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the sun.” We’ve perfected the climb to these legendary snows: a 9-day trek via the Shira-Western Breach, an incredibly beautiful trail on Kili’s remote southwest flank. Nine days (with a full seven on the ascent) provide us with maximum acclimatization, shorter hiking days, and the greatest chance of summit success. Our Kili guides are legendary—the best in the business—and our on-the-mountain amenities are justifiably famous! A magnificent safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater is our post-climb reward.

We head up to our private camp at 6,000 feet on Mt. Meru, one of Africa’s beautiful volcanoes.
A climb through magical forests brings us to the rim of the Shira Plateau, an immense crater and a World Heritage Site. We ascend to Kili’s alpine desert zone, camping at 14,800 feet at the foot of Kibo Peak for views over the Shira Plateau, down to the African plains below, and across to majestic mountains in the distance. On Kili’s vast crater plateau, our Crater Camp at 18,500 feet is in an unforgettable spot by the magnificent Furtwangler Glacier. From this high camp, our summit climb is short and dramatic, bringing us to Uhuru Peak (19,340'), the true summit of Kilimanjaro. By late afternoon on Day 11, we are back at our lodge for a victory dinner.
Our 4WD safari brings us to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park, with private camps that offer access to a rich mosaic of wildlife habitats. Interactions with the Masai here are always a highlight.
From Gibbs Farm, with its lush gardens, we enjoy waterfall walks, birding, and delightful cuisine. Depart via Arusha on Day 18.
Snorkel, beachcomb, and enjoy the beauty of the idyllic “Spice Island” of Zanzibar, jewel of the Indian Ocean.
