Join Our Wildlife Safaris


We organise a few bespoke wildlife safaris each year, which allow small groups of likeminded photographers to travel with us to some of our favourite photographic destinations. Our unique tailor-made itineraries, born out of our own experiences and travels, focus solely on exploring truly pristine wilderness destinations to offer you the chance to experience the best that Africa has to offer and the most exceptional wildlife viewing we can find. We deliberately keep the groups super small, never more then 6 so we can keep it friendly and intimate & also enjoy the smaller lodges that are in the prime locations. Of course equally important to us is our commitment to raising funds for wildlife conservation so all our safari prices include a donation which is made on behalf of the group to some phenomenal small wildlife conservation charities that do exceptional work to protect the wildlife & the pristine environments we visit.
