For the traveler who has never been to Africa, excitement swells up within, waiting to experience what some would describe as the homeland where all life originated from. For those who have been here before, a sense of returning home, to a land imbued with deep wonder and awe. Even the most skilled writer cannot describe the intensity of reverence and marvel that accompany this land and its inhabitants.

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. Leopards, 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.
