Photography safari
Private Landcruiser with pop-up roof. We wait for light and angle, not for a checklist. Morning 06:00-11:00 or afternoon 13:00-18:00. Full-day if you want both ends of the light.
A sightseeing half-day moves on when the group is bored. A photo half-day stays when a rhino turns, a giraffe lines up with Britam Tower, or a lion is in shade. You get more roof space and we park for the background, not only the animal. Flash is off around wildlife. Stay in the vehicle except at Hippo Pools with a ranger.
