From the moment you set foot onto this continent, your life is changed, and suddenly your eyes are opened.

The guides who accompany us are the very best on the entire continent. Their ability to bring you safely through this photo tour safari experience and provide you with very up-close encounters with the wildlife will impact greatly both the quality of your adventure as well as the quality of your photography. With only one person to a bench in our vehicles, you will have the least obstructed views of the highest density of leopards in all of Africa. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes, impala, baboons, monkeys, hyenas, African wild dogs, buffalo, and a myriad of birds can all be encountered in this small group photo tour to South Africa.
