We understand the time and money that you will have invested into a photography tour. We ensure we provide a first rate experience for all of our guests.
During game drives we sit next to the local guide/driver and this ensures we do not encroach upon our guests own space, and means we can effectively communicate with the guide to ensure the best position at sightings. We never prioritise our position at sightings over our guests.
We ensure we cater our tuition for each guest on a bespoke level. We discuss with you what you are looking to achieve during your time with us, both in the species you are looking to see and also what you want to achieve with your photography.
We welcome beginners to photography as well as the experienced photographers who are looking to push their photography to the next level.
We have a vast experience of photography and extensive experience leading photographic tours and safaris. This ensures we are well placed to maximise the potential at all sightings. Working with our local guides to ensure effective positioning of the game vehicles and the best use of light.
We share our wildlife and photographic knowledge to ensure everyone returns home with an excellent suite of images and an increased knowledge of photography.
We bring a unique successful and husband and wife dynamic to our photographic tours. We provide a relaxed and also fun atmosphere in which to learn and enjoy both the wildlife and photography. As a result of our unique hosting style we are proud to welcome back many repeat guests ever year.
We ensure that each guest feels involved and that no-one is ever left out. Most importantly we firmly believe that there is no such thing as a silly question!
Our tours offer excellent opportunities to view and photograph wildlife in their natural wild environments. The locations we select come from years of experience to ensure that each destination offers excellent wildlife photographic opportunities.
In addition we ensure that we time our tours with the best times of the year to maximise game viewing potential.
Unless stated, on each of our photographic tours you will be accompanied by two photographic hosts. With most of our group sizes varying from 6-9 guests. This ensures we can dedicate ample time to each guest. We will both occupy a separate game vehicle.
We also ensure that you spend equal time with both photography hosts, which also provides the benefit that you will learn different styles of photography.
We understand the needs of photographers and during our tours and safaris we ensure plenty of room in the game vehicles that we use. On most photographic safaris each guest has their own row. We never place more than 4-guests in an 8-seater vehicle.
In addition we use vehicles that are well suited to photographers, with large open sides and roof access as well as providing you with the use of bean bags to stabilise large lenses on many of our tours
Spending plenty in time in the field is a key factor of a good photographic safari. Our photographic tours ensure early starts and spending many hours out in the field in order to maximise the game viewing potential.
We ensure an unhurried experience allowing plenty of time in each location to ensure that we not only maximise the game viewing potential but to avoid the tour feeling rushed.
Our photographic tours cater for beginners to the more experienced photographer. We will cater our level of tuition and advice to your personal preference and skill level and we ensure we create a friendly and fun environment in which to learn.
If you are not a photographer then we absolutely still welcome you along! All we ask is for is a willingness to spend plenty of time in the field and accommodating the early starts in order to maximise the game viewing potential
It is vital to us that everyone who joins us on safari feels they are well prepared. This advice starts the moment you contact us and we welcome as many questions as needed, in fact we love it when you ask us questions!
Before your safari we send you a detailed document that covers a wide array of advice. Including general advice of the country you are visiting, packing advice, advice on what camera’s and lenses are best suited and a myriad of other useful information to ensure you are well prepared.
We work with our local suppliers to offer single supplement pricing that does not cost the earth. Therefore we are proud to feature tours where single supplements are usually only 10-20% of the tour cost and in some cases less.
Where availability allows and for sole travellers who do not wish to take the single room options we offer the option to share a room with likeminded travellers of the same gender who are also willing to share.
