Overview
What this journey is about.
Wildlife photography is a different kind of safari. It asks the guide to think about light direction, vehicle angle, background separation, and the patience required to sit with a subject long past the point at which a general safari would move on. It also asks for a smaller group and, often, a slower itinerary.
Our lead guide is a trained wildlife and bird photography guide. Our photography safaris are built around your target subjects and shot list, with itineraries that give each subject the time and light it needs. We can accommodate a range of experience levels, from serious amateur to working photographer.
Suitable for
Serious wildlife photographers, wildlife journalists, content creators
