DeutschExquisite wildlife photography requires knowledge, patience and dedication. Photographers have unique needs when planning their safari. Yet any safari will be a photographers dream. For the real enthusiast, we can arrange trips that feature various levels of support to suit your style. You might be happy with a customized vehicle that allows fewer guests and has supports your equipment. Or you might prefer a trip with a full time photo host that provides assistance during the safari outings as well as during review sessions in camp. Some award-winning photographers guide trips on occasions for that ultimate shot and detailed learning experience you are after. Have a look at the below for inspirations. Or if you have a “dream” shot in mind, such as a cheetah in sprint, Sossusvlei dune sunrise, gorilla portrait or wildebeest migration, we can place you in the correct location at the right time.
