Photographic Safaris in Africa

If you’re going away to Africa you’re going to find yourself with photo opportunity after photo opportunity. With all the wonderful wildlife and beautiful landscapes in Africa, every safari is, essentially, a photographic safari but if you want to learn more about how to make the most of the photo opportunities there are specially designed holidays ideal for you.

Because you’ll be led by a professional photographer, there are often set departures and a limited number of spaces for these kinds of holidays. They’ll be set in excellent wildlife areas at a time when you’re likely to see lots of animals and maximise your chances for great photos. The photographer will accompany you on all of your activities including game drives, bush walks and any cultural activities too. Sometimes the camps or lodges will have specially designed vehicles with chairs that swivel 360 degrees and bean bags for you to rest your camera on. Your photographer will be there with you to give advice, analyse your work and give tips on how to improve your photos next time round. Back at camp they’ll be able to help you learn to use photo editing programmes too, so you’re able to really make the most of your images.

Whether you’re a complete photography beginner or you’ve had heaps of practice already, there’s lots to be learnt from these kinds of safaris and you’ll return home with amazing images to show your family and friends!
