A destination for the experienced guest, this is more than a photography course, it’s an immersive adventure into the remote wilderness of Botswana.
Spent some solitude time at our special underground photography hide overlooking a waterhole. Watch herds of elephants splashing around with water and hyenas passing by for a sip of water. The hide is not only known for its spectacular elephant sightings but is also regular visited by hyena, leopard and many bird species; even hunting owls at night. Maximize your photographic potential by booking a photography course here at our camps.
We organize several photography courses per year, for the experienced photographer, the hobbyist, and the African nature lover. Every bit focus on practical hands-on creative techniques during excursions with theory lessons each day.
We work with renowned photographers across the globe such as Armand Grobler, Kim McCleod – well known for her photographs in the bestseller ‘an elephant in my kitchen’, and Dutch photographer Jeroen Stel . ‘A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is photographed. A quote from Ansel Adams that can serve as the caption on one of Jeroen’s photographs.‘
In the courses given in Botswana the photographers not only focus on wildlife and night photography from the underground hide, but also on the stunning landscapes one will encounter in the Tuli.
