Kalahari Photographic Safari

Our Kalahari Photographic Safari takes us to the Kgalagadi and Mabuasehube. This is a safari with a slight twist. We add Photographic to Safari and offer everyone the chance to capture their experience through the lens. Select your camera and join in the fun of capturing the wild.

We have decided to choose all of the Kalahari's and shift our destination according to the seasons. The Kalahari is well known for the red dunes and the black-maned Kalahari Lions. The colours and landscapes are unique. The vistas provide excellent photo opportunities.

The contrasts of the colours of the landscapes make this ideal for photography. The abundance of predators and raptors found in the Kalahari is unique. We aim to explore the best that the semi-desert of the Kalahari has to offer. Some watering holes allow for the perfect opportunity to capture wildlife and birdlife.

The Photographic route is a combination of camping and accommodated safari. The reason for the mix is that the bush camps only allow for camping. Our Kalahari photographic safari is inclusive of all camping equipment. This safari will allow us to study and capture the animals through our lenses.

The Kalahari is a semi-desert where nocturnal activities take place. Kalahari is famous for its semi-desert colours and great watering holes. We focus our game drives on selected watering holes and staking out some areas.
