Our journey promises not only luxurious stays in exclusive Safari Lodges but also close encounters with Africa’s majestic wildlife in their natural habitats.
Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Our adventure begins in the lush, undisturbed wilderness of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. Nestled within the Greater Kruger National Park area, Timbavati offers a sanctuary to the Big Five—lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo—and is one of the few places on Earth where you might capture the ethereal beauty of the rare white lion. With over 74,000 hectares of richly diverse ecosystems, more than 40 mammal species, and 350 bird species, Timbavati provides unparalleled photographic opportunities. Our expert guides and professional photographers will lead you off the beaten path, offering intimate wildlife encounters and in-depth naturalist insights that enhance your photographic experience.
Kruger National Park
As we venture into the iconic Kruger National Park, prepare to be overwhelmed by the expansive landscapes and the sheer abundance of wildlife. Covering nearly 2 million hectares, Kruger is a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and conservation policies. It offers a wildlife experience that ranks among the best in Africa. Over two days, you’ll have the chance to photograph everything from towering elephants to elusive leopards in a vast, unspoiled setting. Our excursions are designed to immerse you deeply in the park, capturing Africa’s iconic wildlife through your lens.
Sabi Sands Game Reserve
The final leg of our journey takes us to the renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger and sharing an unfenced border that allows wildlife free movement between the reserves. This close proximity to Kruger enhances your chance to photograph a diverse range of wildlife in natural interactions. Known for its high-end lodges and exceptional wildlife viewing, Sabi Sands is especially famous for leopard sightings. Here, in the tranquility of the reserve, you’ll enjoy peaceful mornings and stunning golden hour scenes, perfect for both amateur and seasoned photographers looking to expand their portfolio with images of African wildlife in lush, unfiltered settings.
