The Best Africa Photography Safari

Photographic Safaris in Africa - and how to get the best out of your photography whilst on safari in Africa!

We have noticed a real increase in our travellers showing a huge interest in photography, whilst out on safari in Africa. Naturally, with a background canvas of infinite savannah plains, beautiful light and extraordinary wildlife, Africa simply lends itself to taking exquisite photographs! These days, digital photography has come such a long way that the majority of enthusiasts can take an excellent photograph even if they don’t necessarily have the requisite knowledge.

But, so many people only use their cameras when they go on holiday. And what’s worse, is that even more will purchase a camera just before departing and start reading the instructions on the aircraft! In theory, this is fine except that one hasn’t had the opportunity to get to grips with the camera and produce the images that you really would love to have. So, how can we address this issue?

Easily! On our African safaris, we can get you a top film maker or wildlife photographer to accompany your safari. Either for three or four days or for the duration of your journey. For anyone who mentions an interest in photography, we will always recommend paying for a private vehicle, which is invaluable! This means you can spend as long as you wish with your subject, without feeling pressured by the rest of the occupants on the vehicle!

These people will be superb guides in their own right, which only serves to enhance your safari experience, but in addition, they will teach you all about the light, aperture, form, as well as how to create the most artistic photographs. This to me is the most worthwhile exercise, as you will then have this knowledge for life that you can apply to every holiday thereafter! The other problem is that most of us would love to be better photographers, but not many of us have the time to take a course on photography – and this solves this problem too!

And for the truly serious photographers out there, we can also offer dedicated photographic safaris – for anything from three days to a week or more. Here you can chat to like minded folk, compare notes and methods and its also a lot of fun! It means you can take as long as you like with each shot, receiving mentoring and tuition when required and often this takes you out of the vehicle and onto the ground where you can place your tripod or even get up close and personal with extraordinary coloured insects! We have the best names in the business to truly lift your skills and you return with the most memorable, exquisite photographs which can then be turned into a magnificent book – the perfect memento of your Africa photo safari!
