A Chance to Own The Best Mara Photos & Support AKTF
/Starting 8 June 2020, The Greatest Maasai Mara Photographer of the Year has launched an online auction platform selling beautiful images to raise much-needed funds for boots-on-the-ground conservation organisations in the Mara (Including AKTF). No game reserve in the world can claim such an extensive community of photographers and filmmakers as the Maasai Mara, and since 2018, the Greatest Maasai Mara Photographer of the Year has connected them with conservation initiatives who actively work to protect it, raising important funds in the process. Any photo that was donated on AKTF’s behalf will receive 50% or more of the proceeds of the auction.
To date, the competition has received thousands of entries from professional and amateur photographers alike, capturing almost every wildlife encounter imaginable. With the launch of online auction sales, the Angama Foundation – which drives the competition – is delighted to connect the competition’s extraordinary gallery of photographs with the global community of appreciative wildlife photography enthusiasts; offering anyone, anywhere, the opportunity to own a beautiful piece of the Maasai Mara. And with 50% of all proceeds going to the competition’s conservation partners (the other 50% going to the photographers), buyers can be assured that their funds are working to protect the Reserve for generations to come, especially important given the current downturn in tourism.
