Designed for Small-Group Photography

Every scheduled safari is intentionally limited to a small number of guests. This allows more space in vehicles, greater flexibility at sightings, and the ability to spend meaningful time working each photographic opportunity as it develops.

The pace is shaped by wildlife behaviour rather than schedule, creating a more immersive and rewarding experience for every photographer.

What’s Included In Our Scheduled Photo Safaris

While specific inclusions vary slightly by itinerary, most scheduled photographic safaris include:

  • Accommodation throughout the safari
  • Professional photographic host
  • Experienced local safari guides
  • Game drives and wildlife activities
  • *Park and conservation fees
  • Internal safari logistics as specified in the itinerary
  • Small group environment

*Detailed inclusions and exclusions are provided for each individual safari.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. Our scheduled photo safaris welcome photographers of all experience levels. Whether you are learning camera fundamentals or refining advanced techniques, guidance is available throughout the safari whenever you want it.

Group sizes are intentionally limited to ensure space, flexibility, and optimal photographic positioning. The exact number varies by itinerary, but all safaris are designed to maintain a small-group experience.

Detailed equipment guidance is provided before departure, including recommended lenses, camera bodies, accessories, and packing advice. You’ll know exactly what to bring and how to prepare.

In many cases, yes. Some guests travel with partners who simply enjoy wildlife viewing. However, the experience is designed primarily around photography, so we recommend discussing individual safari suitability with us if travelling with a non-photographer.

After securing your place, you’ll receive comprehensive pre-departure information covering travel preparation, packing guidance, photography considerations, and logistical details. Ongoing support is available right up to departure.

International flights to and from Africa are typically not included unless specifically stated in the itinerary. Internal safari flights and transfers may be included depending on the safari — full details are provided for each departure.

Yes. Many guests choose to add extra destinations, private extensions, or additional travel before or after their scheduled safari. These arrangements can often be organised alongside your booking.

If a safari is full, you may be able to join a waitlist in case of cancellations. We can also recommend similar departures or alternative travel dates.

Accommodation varies by safari and series, but all properties are carefully selected for comfort, location, and access to exceptional wildlife areas. Full details are provided within each safari itinerary.

Because group sizes are small and departures are limited, many safaris fill well in advance. Booking early is strongly recommended to secure your preferred travel dates.

Can’t Find the Right Safari, Dates or Destination?

If none of our scheduled departures align with your travel plans or photographic goals, we can design a bespoke photo safari tailored entirely to you.

From destination and timing to accommodation style and photographic focus, every detail can be customised to create the experience you want.
