PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARIS

Capturing and freezing a wild moment while on an African safari is highly rewarding as often one can cherish these moments for years. Africa is blessed with amongst the highest concentrations and diversity of wildlife in the world and with its friendly climate it lends itself to being a top photography destination. Photographic interest safaris are tailored to take travelers through remote areas of high wildlife concentrations awarding them rare opportunities to practice their interest or profession.

A skeleton day on a photographic safari often starts early with a morning excursion by means dependant on the area. After a light breakfast we head out at first light as the sunrise marks the beginning of “another day in Africa”. These mornings are usually eventful as we observe the nocturnal wildlife winding down to rest and their diurnal relatives getting active. In the warmer hours of the day guests can choose to view their images in the comfort of the camp, game drive or find a waterhole or hide to sit and observe midday interactions. Full day outings are common on a photographic safari. After hours of afternoon light photography and an African sunset the day does not stop. Reviewing the images of the day in the way of a mini photo workshop, discussing and sharing ideas on how to improve on images and planning the next day happens in safety of the camp in the evening. On some evenings we “play around” with the night skies trying to capture our movement in the galaxies with long shutter openings. All of these possibilities fill up the day and shape the next as we go through the different wildlife areas. Photographic safaris can be tailored to journey through Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Zambia and Zimbabwe for the different highlights that these countries have to offer.
