OUR STORY

Where We Began

Welcome to our world, we are Nick & Eric!

 

Our journey began in our childhoods with a shared passion and respect for the Africa bush and it's magnificent wildlife. We were born and raised in Zimbabwe spending the majority of our younger years on adventures all over Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.

​

Over decades, we have gained invaluable knowledge & skills in the art of photography, and have become experts in capturing the essence of wildlife, landscapes, and cultures in their most unspoiled state. We both possess a love for nature, adventure and a desire to document its magnificence, along with a passion for teaching and showcasing the beauty of Africa which inspired us to start the Photo Safari Company to share our world. 

We believe in heartfelt connections with the natural world and are deeply invested in preserving its beauty. Our safaris are designed to offer unique opportunities to explore, learn, and appreciate the untouched wonders of Africa and beyond. We are not just another tour agent; we care deeply about the environments we explore and are committed to providing an authentic and meaningful experience for every guest.

Our Vision

At Photo Safari Company, we are dedicated to providing unforgettable safari expeditions in Southern Africa, including Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Madagascar.

Whether you are an avid photographer or simply a lover of nature, our goal is to help you connect with the wild in a meaningful way.

Our safaris are designed to stand out. We meticulously select destinations and camps that offer privacy and exclusivity, with a sprinkling of luxury, steering clear of locations inundated with safari operators. This ensures that we almost always have the place to ourselves, creating a more intimate and raw adventure for our guests.

Our selection of camps and lodges is carefully chosen to be in harmony with nature and their surroundings, providing you with the opportunity to explore Africa in diverse and exciting ways. These camps operate sustainably, with minimal impact on the environment, and work symbiotically with the local communities, creating an interconnected and respectful footprint.
