Founded in the wild, for those who want to feel it.
Wild Iris Africa was created with a vision that goes beyond simply showing you Africa's beauty - it's about crafting experiences that inspire on a deeper, personal level. Every journey is designed to leave a lasting impression, helping each guest connect with nature, sharpen their creative eye, and, most importantly, reconnect with themselves.

It was never about the shot.
I'm Clement Mabula - a Tanzanian photographer and visual artist with a deep love of storytelling through images. With more than five years behind the camera, my work is rooted in capturing raw, authentic moments: wildlife, landscapes, and the human experiences that connect them.
Based in Arusha and working across Tanzania and beyond, I've had the privilege of collaborating with brands and creatives who trust my vision. Through my personal work and through Wild Iris Africa, I aim to create more than images - I create experiences, stories, and emotions that connect people to nature, to culture, and to themselves.
Whether we're documenting a Mara river crossing, an ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai, or a quiet moment in the wild, I approach every project with intention, creativity, and a deep respect for the story being told.
For me, it was never just about the shot. It was always about the feeling behind it.

A quieter way of moving through the wild.
We think most safaris move too fast. We build itineraries around one or two great moments a day, not eight passable ones.
We think the vehicle matters. Our Land Cruisers seat three photographers, not seven - every seat with a window, a bean bag, and a mount.
We think the light is the itinerary. If the storm is worth staying for, we stay.
