Read MoreWhether you’re joining your first wildlife photography adventure or you’re an experienced traveller returning to Africa, here are answers to the questions we are asked most often.
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please get in touch. We’d love to help.
Absolutely not.
Our wildlife photography safaris are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced photographers. Whether you’re learning how to use your camera for the first time or already have years of experience behind the lens, you’ll be welcomed and supported throughout the journey.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is to enjoy the experience, improve your skills, and create memories you’ll treasure forever.
Yes, absolutely.
Many guests join simply because they love wildlife, nature, travel, and adventure. While photography is a central part of the experience, these safaris are equally rewarding for partners, friends, and family members who simply want to experience Africa’s incredible wildlife and landscapes.
Absolutely. I work with brands locally and internationally and can collaborate remotely from anywhere in the world.
To ensure a personal, relaxed, and enjoyable experience, all tours are limited to a maximum of 8 guests.
Smaller groups allow for more individual photography guidance, greater flexibility during game drives, easier interaction with fellow travellers, and a more intimate safari experience overall.
Thoughtfully created content designed to connect, convert, and grow your brand.
Yes.
Minkie personally hosts every safari and is available throughout the journey to assist with camera settings, composition, wildlife photography techniques, bird photography, storytelling, and general photographic advice.
The aim is to help you feel more confident behind the camera while enjoying every moment of the experience.

Selected tours include Lightroom editing sessions, image reviews, workflow guidance, and practical tips to help you get the most from your photographs.
These sessions are relaxed, interactive, and suitable for all skill levels.

Detailed arrival and departure information will be provided before your safari to ensure a smooth and stress-free travel experience.
Yes.
Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all guests and should include medical cover, emergency evacuation, cancellation protection, and coverage for photographic equipment.

✘ Additional accommodation before or after the tour
Most of our safaris require only a moderate level of mobility.
Game drives, boat cruises, and lodge activities are generally comfortable and suitable for most guests. Specific tours that involve additional walking or physical activity will clearly state these requirements in advance.
If you have any concerns, please contact us and we’ll happily advise.
Simply complete the enquiry form or contact us directly via email.
Once your place is confirmed, you’ll receive booking information, payment details, a photography packing guide, and everything you need to prepare for your upcoming adventure.
Because group sizes are intentionally kept small, early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Whether you’re unsure which safari is right for you, need advice on camera equipment, or simply want to learn more about our tours, we’re here to help.
