There is also a Photographic Library where guests can review and edit their photos from the day alongside their guide who can offer expert advice on selecting and enhancing images.

“We have experienced an increase in interest from high-end clientele wanting to experience a photographic safari in Africa. Luxury safari lodges have started to cater to this demand by investing in customized safari vehicles that facilitate wildlife photography, as well as providing professional studios, on-site gear rental and professional training for guests,” says Marcelo Novais, Managing Director of Ker & Downey® Africa DMC.

“Our idea was to create an itinerary that invites our clients to explore the diverse landscape of Southern Africa, while indulging their creative eye.”
