Photographic Safaris
Much like her diverse terrain, cultures and wildlife, Africa offers an abundance of photographic opportunities from expansive mountain landscapes to intense close-up wildlife compositions and insect or wild flower microphotography.
Our photographic safaris are designed around any duration across all regions of East and Southern Africa, as well as the Indian Ocean Islands and hosted by specialist guides who are eager to share their expertise, knowledge and photographic experience with you. With special attention to vehicle positioning and lighting you will be one step closer to capturing that ever elusive perfect wildlife shot! Highlights include the burnt orange dunes of the Namibian Desert, bathing elephants of the Okavango Delta, emerging rainbows from the mists of a thundering Victoria Falls and color bursts of hot air balloons that sail the skies of the Maasai Mara.
If you are expert in your field or still finding your way behind the lens, contact us for a bespoke itinerary that will best suit your photographic needs.
Travel Tips
Travel after seasonal rains will ensure an exquisite color spectrum of green vegetation
Travel during drier months will mean animal behavior is more predictable and with less dense vegetation enjoy far better game sightings
Request a private vehicle for your family. If availability allows most lodges will happily arrange this for you
Book river cruises and bush walks where possible for exciting image angles
Bring along additional batteries as charging opportunities are often restricted to evenings back at camp. Power supply in remote areas can be unreliable
Bean bags are a must for vehicle shots
Pack waterproof covers and ponchos to protect your camera equipment from unexpected rain showers
