2-4 Days Private Wildlife Photography Experience Join Nick on a luxury 2-night/3-day getaway to 5-star Thanda Private Game Reserve. Compared to the provincial game reserves where we do our day trips, private game reserves definitely offer much higher chances of not only seeing the Big-5, but also of getting great photos of them. This because at private game reserves there are more roads, and they allow off road driving so they can park close to the animals. Read More...

4 Day Zululand Wildlife Photography - Zululand Game Reserves Specifically aimed at beginners to experienced enthusiasts, these 4 day - 3 night workshops takes you to a few of the finest game reserves of Zululand. We will base ourselves in one, but usually explore two more reserves on day excursions to make use of their animal viewing hides. Every day we will go out on morning and afternoon game drives or hide sessions, and do lectures in between. In the evening, we do some Astro-Photography whilst enjoying a drink or two! Read More...
5 Day Mountain Masterclass - Drakensberg Mountain Range The Drakensberg stands like a formidable rocky barrier between the lush green foothills of Kwazulu-Natal and the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho. It has inspired poets and exhilarated climbers for the last two centuries. The indigenous population of San, followed by Zulu and Sotho peoples have made homes and sacred sites of the red-hued sandstone cliffs. The Zulu have given the appropriate name of uKhahlamba, ‘barrier of spears’, to this incredible basalt range. Nowadays the ‘Dragon’s Mountain’ inspires photographers! Join us to photograph the craggy spires as wet clouds drift from peak to peak. Learn to photograph the stars as they spin over the Berg Escarpment and its sentinels of rock. Become enchanted with the magical streams of water that perpetually gush from the mountainside. We select only two primary locations for this mountain masterclass so that there is a minimum of travel and a maximum of shooting time. We also opt for two very diverse locations in terms of the geology of the mountains; so photographers get to experience the heights of the Drakensberg as well as the valleys and their enchanting forests.

6 Day Wilderness and Astrophotography - Tuli Block, Botswana The Tuli Block is not about the wildlife, it really has everything to do with being in the wilderness. Totally immersed in the wilderness. There are no phones, no cars, no sirens, no planes, no electricity, no politicians, no work, nothing that usually seems to matter. Instead all the hectic bustle that we fill our lives with is replaced by the sawing sound of a leopard calling, the friendly tootling of elephants some 100 meters away in a clump of Apple-leaf trees, the yipping of jackals, impala barking at each other, the guttural moan of lion and the panoply of stars that hang like a million fairy lights from the sky. The vast openness of the Tuli means the Milky Way seems to explode out of the darkness above. Opportunities for star trails, landscapes and wildlife photography abound. This workshop is all about attempting to capture 'the wilderness' in images, whilst being immersed in it. A truly life changing experience, and not only on a photographic level! Read More...
