Tours Abroad

Award-winning photographer Camille Seaman leads the Kazakh Migrations photo workshop. An interview with Camille can be seen here.

We set off overland from Urumqi in the far north-west of China to venture into a little known area to the north. We stop at the Five Coloured Bay en-route with its magnificent desert scenery.

The real target lies north of the town of Fuyun. Keketuohai is a focal point for Kazakh families returning from their summer pastures up in the mountains and we can expect to see several clans drive their animals down to the south over a period of several days. The timing is never quite the same but our local contacts will do their best to ensure we are in position when the actions starts.

During quieter periods we will visit other natural attractions nearby. The Irtysh Grand Canyon is spectacular at any time, though at its best in the fall with Autumnal colours against clear blue skies. There are wetlands at Kekesuli that also benefit from the same hues and lighting.

We return to Urumqi from Altay by air. Onwards connections can easily be arranged by our in-country team.
