When on Safari, the most important element that can make or break your Safari is your guide. Our guides make your Safari! It is the reason our guests come back.
Our guides not only know about animal-life, flora and fauna, but they also know photography.
Photography on Safari is vital for our guides to know. We have a range of clients from hobbyists, amateur photographers to professional photographers.
Lighting is crucial. Early morning before the sunrise to capture the first light of daybreak. How to avoid shadows in the hot mid-day sun. Positioning the Safari vehicle in the right angle to capture the golden hour in the evening. Sunset shots are amazing and when you have a wildlife silhouette, dreamy. These little tricks of the trade are taught to our Safari guides. Some of our guides are great photographers themselves like Butati in lovely Greystoke Mahale, Western Tanzania or Daniel at MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa.
If we know in advance what you need, our guides will equip our vehicle with supplies like bean bags for stability. We always carry a few in our vehicles anyway. Any specific need you have, we can work with you.
My Safari guide Reuben with my camera clicking the Wildebeest arriving into Northern Serengeti.
For a hobbyist like me, I let my guides help. They would help me with lighting, shutter speed, angle, etc. They got me some good shots while I got to enjoy the experience. The picture above is in Northern Serengeti on our early morning game drive and the Wildebeest and Zebra migration were grunting its way into this beautiful region.
I brought home some great pictures and some shots, I can not take credit for. You decide if you want to do that on your Safari.
