Maasai Mara Safari March 2012

Pip has just returned from his latest safari in the Maasai Mara. The safari was hosted by the world famous photographers Daryl and Sharna Balfour and the group had a fantastic time. In 2011 Pip took a group out with Daryl and Sharna and had such an amazing time that he returned again in 2012 with another group. 'Despite 2011 being an incredible trip, nothing could have prepared us for the experiences we had in March this year' says Pip. 'A fully wild Cheetah joined us on the roof of our vehicle, we watched a leopard swim across a raging torrent in the Talek river to rescue her cubs and were stunned by a close up of a zebra kill, just to mention a few things'. Once more, Pip will be returning to join Daryl and Sharna in March 2013 - it is possible there may be one or two places available - if you are interested do get in contact! This luxury camping safari was tailor made for our group and was completely outstanding in every way. (email pip@pipmcgarry.com for details).

'...one of Europes leading wildlife artists...'

Chris Bull, Managing Director, Simon Bull International Ltd

'Pip McGarry has a unique approach to painting wild animals which is the key to his present position in the art world. He catches the spirit of the beast every time and there is more depth in his paintings than the simple two-dimensional plane. His fine painting of a Persian Leopard in our May sale was an example of this talent. There is now a frisson of interest throughout the room when his paintings come up for auction'

Lynn Burns, Head of Wildlife Art, Christies

'Pip McGarry has firmly established himself as one of the foremost wildlife artists in the UK. His sensational work has truly captured the imagination of the British public.'
