Tailor-made safaris across Africa

About this experience

What to expect.

Lodges with a structured photographic programme. Curated by our specialists from properties built for serious wildlife photography.

How we built this list

The properties below are the ones our specialists return to when a guest's brief calls for serious wildlife photography. Each has built a programme around the discipline: dedicated photographic vehicles with camera mounts and bean-bag rests, sunken or underground hides for eye-level work, photographer-in-residence programmes, or guides whose own portfolios speak for themselves. Specific kit, cost and availability sit on each lodge's page.

Every safari camp in Africa says it offers great photography. Our specialists' judgement is what separates a lodge built for the work from one that simply has wildlife to point a camera at.
