Photographic Safari Course

Wildlife Photography courses are held near to Kruger National Park, South Africa and are for Photographers of all abilities

Most of our Wildlife Photography courses are held near to Kruger National Park, South Africa. These are our standard courses and are the most affordable to most. However, specials also run in luxury exclusive camps in Kruger Park as well as in East Africa (Kenya) and in Zimbabwe.

Workshop's and Safaris cater for the expert photographer as well as complete beginners. Offering one-on-one tuition to people who want to learn about photography and wildlife.

The Photographic Safar'si are extended workshops intended to capture specific wildlife behaviour and phenomena at pertinent times during the year, i.e. the migration in the Serengeti (Marsh Pride photographic safari).

You will be hosted by top photographers that are also guides wanting to share more than just their knowledge of the big five. The guides are internationally sought after for their expertise and have guided in many African countries.

Many of the workshops and safaris are offered in game reserves throughout Africa, ensuring a wide variety of wildlife and habitats. The Workshops are arranged to give you the maximum photographic opportunities at specific times of the year.

The focus of our standard courses/workshops is to provide a basic understanding of animal behaviour and the sensitivities of working with wildlife; to allow the photographer the best chance of capturing great wildlife photos.

This is an ideal pre-safari trip to make so that you can then use your newly learned skills and apply then to your safari.
