If you love photography and wildlife then why not combined the two. Many safari destinations offer photography trips where you will go out with an expert photographer and improve your skills whilst embarking on a safari trio. What better way to learn than on a safari where you will get to see and capture some magnificent animals in their own environment.

Learn about angles, aperture, shutter speeds, ISO, lighting (including night time photography) and more on location. After you day out in the wilderness you can head back to the lodge where the photographer can go through and critique your images and also provide lessons in editing, should you request them. This stage of photography can make a huge difference to the quality of your images and you can take away tips from the lessons that will hep you in the future.

If you don’t have your own equipment or don’t want to take it with you, you can often hire the photography equipment to use when you are there.

This is an amazing opportunity for anyone with an interest in photography. It will also look great in a portfolio if you are looking in to a career in photography later on down the line.
