Namibia, Botswana, the Okavango Delta - home to unique landscapes and diverse African animals will be a real discovery for both novice wildlife photographers and experienced professionals. The northern regions of Namibia and Botswana are completely undeservedly deprived of the attention of photographers, and photo tours here are very rare.

Just 70 km from Victoria Falls, on the Chobe River, you can see and photograph stunning African animals. Botswana and Namibia are perhaps the best places in all of Africa for photographing wild animals. For eight days, we will actively conduct photo hunting. We will raft along the Chobe and Okavango rivers, on the banks of which herds of buffalo, giraffes, antelopes graze, elephants bathe and where predators come to drink. We will stay in two different lodges on the Chobe River and the Okavango River, where we will have exciting safaris in the national parks in the savannas of Botswana and Namibia. And finally, we will go by helicopter to one of the most stunning places on earth - the Okavango Delta, whose waters dissolve into the endless swamps of Botswana.

One of the best times to visit the national parks of Namibia and Botswana for photographers is probably the start of the dry season, which runs from early May to September. May and June should already offer excellent conditions for photographing animals, and there are not many tourists yet. During the dry months, vegetation is sparse and animals tend to congregate around the last remaining waterholes, so we will have excellent shots of a wide variety of animals.
Botswana, unlike many other African safari destinations, is still completely wild and natural. There are few tourists, few paved roads and very few fenced areas… It is truly untouched and beautiful. On our adventure we will be filming in one of the most amazing places on the planet.

Our trip will be dedicated to artistic photography of wildlife and animals in their natural habitat. We will meet sunrises and sunsets in the best places in southern Africa, we will learn in practice how to take beautiful pictures. I will share my experience with you and reveal the secrets of mastery. If you wish, I will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your work.
In a small group of like-minded people we will spend many hours in one of the most beautiful wilderness areas on the continent with an impressive diversity of wild animals (lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalos, rhinos, elephants, hippos, over 250 species of birds and many many more).

VICTORIA FALLS TOUR

This tour can be a great continuation of the South African tiger photo safari.

Victoria Falls is one of the natural wonders of the world and one of the most impressive places in southern Africa. It is also an extremely interesting waterfall to photograph.

There are about 30 points from which to photograph the falls, and each of them offers a slightly different perspective. Most of them are located frontally, but perhaps the most interesting from a photographic point of view are those closer to the edges.
Day 1 (May 12)
We meet in the cozy tourist town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe (VFA International Airport), where several flights arrive every day from Johannesburg and other cities in Africa and Asia, in the beautiful Pamarah Lodge near the falls, and in the evening we will go on our first shoot.

Day 2 (May 13)
This day we will completely dedicate to Victoria Falls. In the morning we will shoot from the Zimbabwe side, visit the most interesting and picturesque sites, and in the evening after lunch we will go to Zambia, where we will see the waterfall from a different angle.

Day 3 (May 14)
On this day our tour ends, you can go home at any time, or continue your journey to Namibia and Botswana on a safari along the Chobe and Okavango rivers.
