The following is a typical Photo Safari itinerary to inspire you for your next African Photo Safari

South Africa & Botswana

Adventure Photo Safari

Experience a true once in a lifetime trip to see the greatest wildlife show on Earth.
This Photo Safari has been created with the purpose of taking you to photograph Africa’s amazing wildlife and scenery in comfort and on budget.

As with all Photo Organic Safaris you will be expertly guided by extremely knowledgable African guides and photographic expert Alistair MacDougall for all your photographic questions and requirements throughout the trip.

It’s not necessary to be an experienced wildlife photographer on any of our trips and with the wonders of Kruger National park you’re sure to be thrilled with the photos you take, no matter what level your at with the camera.

For those more experienced photographers there will be no shortage of valuable photographic information you’ll pick up from this safari that will not only help you gain breathtaking shots of this trip but turbo boost your general photographic skill.

The safari is limited to a maximum of 8 participants (plus the 2 guides), and is suitable for participants of all levels of photographic experience while also being a safari which a non-photographing spouse or travel partner will thoroughly enjoy.

As with all of PhotoOrganic safaris we will meet in Sydney (for those able to make it) for a casual dinner and Photography/African travel discussion with Alistair (Photographer) and Cuan (African Travel Expert) to put you in the mood for your experience of as lifetime.

(International airfares into Johannesburg and out of Maun are the only items not yet included)

Day 5, 6 - Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’. In more modern terms Victoria Falls is known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world.

Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as, at the height of the rainy season, more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge, over a width of nearly two kilometres, into a gorge over one hundred meters below.

Day 7, 8, 9,10 - Chobe River

Chobe National Park
With an enormous elephant population, as well as magnificent birdlife and a huge array of herbivores and aquatic animals, it is often hard to believe that Chobe National Park is for real. The game viewing starts from the moment you land at Kasane Airport, or drive across the border from Zambia or Zimbabwe, with warthogs foraging in the streets, buffalo being habitual visitors to the town, and hippos lazing around in the river. The Chobe River is the life support of thousands of animals, as well as the surrounding villages, especially during the dry winter months.
