SPIRIT OF AFRICA PHOTO GENERAL SAFARI

The Ultimate Photo Safari

Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been here, you will never be the same. How can we even begin to describe the magic to someone who has never experienced it? How can you describe or explain the fascination of this vast continent with its whispering yellowed grasses, the predators’ calls and the herds of animals roaming the lands and whose oldest roads are the elephant paths…?

There is something deeply primeval, exhilarating and nourishing about camping out in the wilds of Africa. It takes us back eons to our primitive selves where we were not cossetted by bricks and mortar nor detached from the sounds and smells of nature at its purest. It’s a magical experience The Okavango, Khwai, Savuti /Chobe Botswana tour arguably offers the best overall game viewing and wildlife photography experience Botswana has to offer”

This 10-day photo safari concentrates on the prime wildlife areas, making sure we cover some of the most soughtafter wildlife sanctuaries in the world. Botswana has a great diversity of wildlife and on top of that hosts the largest elephant population in the world. This is a true garden of Eden and one of the last true wilderness areas on this planet with many places still untouched by man.

We will be staying in spacious and comfortable tented camps (including proper beds and bed linen, with a private bathroom (en-suite). in exclusive campsites within the national parks and wildlife reserves, whilst travelling in our customized open safari vehicles perfect for wildlife photography. Botswana is the ideal photography destination for professionals and novices alike, hosting and abundance of spectacular wildlife and beautiful scenery. Anyone joining this photo safari will return home with both fantastic photos & memories.

Another very interesting and intriguing aspect of our trips is that we will introduce you to animal communication This will help you connect with the animals and in return get more intimate and intense pictures of the creatures of the wild.
