FAQ

Photo Safari Company works with experienced wildlife photographers and safari professionals who are capable of leading or co-hosting photographic safaris across Africa.

Guiding experience is helpful but not essential. We also work with photographers who have strong wildlife field experience and the ability to mentor guests.

No. Many of the photographers we work with are based around the world. What matters most is strong wildlife photography experience, the ability to work with guests in a safari environment, and familiarity with African wildlife and field conditions.

Opportunities vary depending on safari schedules and destinations. Some photographers host multiple photographic safaris each year, while others join us periodically to co-host specific departures where their experience and expertise are a strong fit.
