LIFESTYLE

There are additional advantages to enjoying a
photographic safari at a private reserve. These are as
follows:

Accommodation:
We use exclusive camps or villas. Staff members service
these on a daily basis. We only include six guests at a
time. If preferred, daily cleaning is provided for your
rooms. Following each afternoon drive, the fires will be
lit and prepared for your arrival.

Game drives:
Our safaris are limited to a maximum of six people (there
is room for extra cameras). We have exclusive use of a
game drive vehicle and a field guide. Each game drive
lasts for about four hours, and because the vehicles can
go offroad, you may get very close to the wildlife.

Photographic guide:
Throughout your stay, a photographic host and guide
will be by your side to assist with all your camera
settings and to offer you guidance on photographic
techniques.

Sightings:
To reduce stress on the animals and to ensure that
each vehicle has the greatest possible experience,
game sightings are more private. You will be able to get
closer to some of the animals, which will improve your
photographic opportunities. In some circumstances, we
may even get out of the vehicle to give you a chance to
take pictures from a low perspective.

Cost:
We offer you the best possible rates that include
conservation and entrance fees, accommodation, game
drives and staff gratuities.

Incentives:
Even more, we give our visitors a bonus incentive. Join
us for five of our regular-priced photographic safaris,
and we’ll give you R4 500 off our sixth such excursion.

A photographic safari can teach you some new skills,
from technical camera use to composition and post-
production. It’s all about improving your photography
techniques. An amazing experience results from
combining photography with memorable encounters in
nature.
