Why Choose Photo Safari Company
African Photographic Safaris with Intent, Flexibility, and Purpose
Purpose-Built for Photographers - Whether You’re Just Starting Out or Shooting for the Stars.
We’re not here to check boxes or sell a standard safari experience. We’re here to immerse you in the stillness before the moment, the quiet chase for perfect light, and the satisfaction of capturing something that doesn’t just look good - it means something.
Every safari is crafted to give you the time, space, and intention to create - because we believe a single image, made with purpose, can stay with you for life.
With over 20 years of combined photographic safari experience, we design journeys with a photographer’s instinct - where timing, light, and composition come together in rare, unforgettable moments.
Whether you’re searching for the best African safari for amateur photographers, refining your portfolio, or just discovering your passion for wildlife photography - we’ll help you get closer, stay longer, and come home with images that truly matter.
And because no two photographers are the same, we offer tailor-made wildlife photography safaris built around your vision - flexible dates, pacing, interests, and budget.

We offer value-focused safaris during the green season without compromising on experience.

We bring decades of combined expertise in guiding, photography, and storytelling in wild places.

Safety You Can Trust
We follow proven safety protocols and offer seamless logistics with 24/7 support.
Photography-First, Always
While others offer safaris with a photography add-on, we build around photography from the start.
Every trip is designed to give you:
-
The best light at the best time
-
Fewer people per vehicle (often just 2–3 photographers)
-
Longer stays at sightings
-
Access to remote areas few others reach
-
Custom vehicles built for stability, support, and shooting comfort
Whether you’re focused on the Big 5, birds in flight, or animal-in-environment compositions, we get you where you need to be - ethically and thoughtfully.
Handpicked Camps, Rooted in Conservation
Where you stay should reflect your values. We’ve carefully chosen camps and lodges that are:
-
Eco-friendly and sustainably built
-
Locally operated and community-supportive
-
Often award-winning and recognised for their ethical footprint
Expect comfort, yes - but more importantly, expect authenticity. These are camps that feel connected to the land, not disconnected from it.
Real Connection, Real Africa — For Every Budget
Yes, we offer high-end safaris - but we also believe that unforgettable photography shouldn’t be exclusive.
That’s why we offer:
-
Affordable photographic safaris in Africa
-
Mid-range photo safari packages without sacrificing quality
-
Flexible pricing for green season and shoulder months, when light is soft and crowds are low
Want dramatic skies, newborn wildlife, and fewer vehicles in frame? Green season safaris are your secret weapon.
Looking for a photography trip that balances value and experience?
We’ve got options built for you.
Guides Who Are Mentors – Not Just Drivers
Our guides don’t just find the wildlife - they help you photograph it with purpose. From tracking behavior to positioning the vehicle for the best light, they work with you, not just around you.
Expect hands-on advice, image reviews around the fire, and the kind of insights that only come from years in the field.
Whether you're joining one of our photography safaris for beginners or bringing your long lens and years of experience -you'll feel supported, challenged, and creatively inspired.
Travel That Leaves a Positive Impact
Every safari you book helps support wildlife conservation, anti-poaching, and local community initiatives across Africa.
We believe photography should do more than capture - it should give back.
So yes, you’ll leave with stunning images.
But you’ll also leave knowing you’ve contributed to the future of the wild places you love.
