Every great safari begins with a single conversation. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here.

See Africa the way we see it, through the eyes of people who never stopped looking.

We only work in wild places we’re committed to protecting. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Honest answers to the questions worth asking before you go.

Photography on safari can feel overwhelming—manual settings, white balance, timing, light. We created a Wildlife Photography Tips & Tricks E-Book to simplify it. Developed by specialist photographic guides, it covers everything from manual mode to star photography, with scenario-based techniques for real situations: how to nail wildlife portraits, capture action, photograph silhouettes, shoot at night, and more. Each scenario walks you through the adjustments needed before you're in the field, so you arrive at your safari knowing how to respond when the light shifts or the moment arrives. It's a practical guide built on field experience, not theory.

Photographic E-Book: A Practical Guide to Wildlife Photography

Photography is one of our passions at Escape Safari Co. and it is a big part of why we love what we do. We love sharing our knowledge and experience with people. We are driven by giving people the best opportunity to capture their dream images. We know from experience that photography can be daunting at first, it is a dynamic skill and there are so many different elements to consider, which challenges creativity and co-ordination. It is a constant learning experience that allows each person to express themselves in there own unique way.

In an effort to share our photographic experience with people, we decided to create a Wildlife Photography Tips and Tricks E-Book which provides all photographers with a practical guide to photography using real-life scenarios to simplify each technique. It has been developed by specialist photographic guides to help you navigate through your photographic journey with ease.

A key feature of the e-book is the scenario portion. It gives you the ability to put photography techniques into practice when in a certain situation or when wanting to capture a particular image. This allows you as the photographer to be pre-exposed to a common scene or scenario and then have the skills you need to identify minor adjustments needed to take the best photograph.

These scenarios are a basic representation and are a great starting point to get the most out of each scenario. The e-book looks at wildlife portraits, animals in their environment, capturing action, macro photography, silhouettes, panning or motion blur, sunrise, sunsets, photographing wildlife at night, star photography, and even how to photograph the moon.

Below is a sneak peek into how to best capture a silhouette when the scenario presents itself.

This e-book is an easy-to-use manual, that describes many elements of photography and provides scenario-based tips for budding photographers. It is has been put together by photographic guides with the intention of making learning easy and giving you the necessary skill at your fingertips.
