Taking great pictures is an integral part of any wildlife safari adventure in Africa, and a photo safari is a perfect trip for cultural and wildlife photography. In the early safari days, Imperial safari explorers hunted with a gun and painted their wildlife encounters on a canvas. Today’s safari adventurer tracks with a camera lens and views their captured memories on retina pixel screens. Amazing how adventure has transformed from wiping our wildlife to conserving it for more incredible memories.

​

If you’re looking to make a visual record of the cultural or rainforest drama, far-flung savannah plains, and dramatic wildlife encounters, Africa’s landscapes, people, and wildlife make for a great inspiration. A Photo Safari in Africa delivers you to a perfect wildlife scene with close-knit prides of lions feeding, families of elephants interacting on river banks. At the same time, herds of giraffes canter through tall grass as they seek the thorny foliage of acacia trees on which to gaze not to mention colorful and beautiful bird life.

A pride of lions angling in for the hunt, wild hyenas fighting for prey, leopards recumbent on tree branches, herds of antelopes, impalas, and gazelles spread out before your very eyes, and the magnificent apes like Mountain Gorillas and chimps in the misty mountain jungles of Uganda . On an Africa photo safari, you get a treat of all kinds of wildlife, cultural and scenic landscapes.

​

Photography safari trips demand time and patience, and in-depth knowledge of local conditions and the game, especially for professional wildlife photographers. Keen photographers are often restrained on general safari itineraries, which lack the freedom to stake out a waterhole for hours or wait patiently for a lion pride to catch up with a herd of buffaloes.

They often need a particularly experienced photo safari guide to keep them informed of the likely movement and behavior of the wildlife they are interested in capturing. An ardent wildlife photographer needs a photo safari that balances time, observation of the details, and the availability of dramatic wildlife opportunities.

​

Typically, our specialist photography tours in Africa primarily focus on professional photo guides’ experience and knowledge. Their ability to predict animal behavior means front-row seats to all the action. Secondly, we also consider exploring the wilderness in vehicles and boats that will allow travelers to use their camera equipment with minimal frustration. Your photo safari guide will find you the best spots to position your pod out of the vehicle so that you can capture the wildlife moment at your pace and comfort.
