Benefits of Your Custom Experience

  • Photography Hides

    Whether you’re a seasoned or a casual photographer, there are an incredible range of photography hides available in multiple countries. Whether wanting to capture a few unique ‘eye level shots’ or enjoying the thrill of an overnight hide experience, the options are many and varied.

  • Special Privileges

    Dependent on the reserve you are visiting, special “photo vehicle” privileges may apply such as priority and unlimited time restraints at a sighting, getting off the vehicle for specialty shots, specialized night photography etc.

  • Creative Opportunities

    At select camps, resident pro photographers with a great understanding of animal behavior and photo techniques, are available to assist in capturing the very best safari images imaginable, offering creative opportunities based on years in the field as wildlife photographers.

  • Custom Photographic Vehicles

    A number of camps offer specially modified photo vehicles that take the safari photo experience to the next level! Stabilizing camera mounts, doors cut away to get that low angle and limited seating are some of the options that make these vehicles particularly desirable.

  • Private Use Vehicles

    Regardless of the camp, private safari vehicles are an option for those who simply want to work on their photographic goals and interests without interference from other guests.

  • Photo Lab and Printing

    A few select camps offer an in-house equipped photo lab with printing services so that you can edit and  print your safari masterpieces onsite!

  • Camera Rental

    In the private reserves surrounding South Africa’s Kruger National Park, as well as in Zimbabwe, camera rental can be arranged.
