Photographic Safari

Explore the wildlife-rich Timbavati Private Nature Reserve on exclusive photographic game drives, accompanied by a dedicated Field Guide, Tracker and Specialist Wildlife Photographer. With a private safari vehicle and flexible scheduling, each experience is tailored to your photographic interests, allowing you to make the most of every wildlife encounter while developing your skills under expert guidance.

From the golden light of sunrise to the dramatic colours of sunset, every moment presents a new photographic opportunity. Set out on morning and afternoon game drives in search of extraordinary wildlife encounters, with time between safaris to review your images, refine your techniques or enjoy the tranquillity of the lodge. For those seeking something different, spend time at The Kings Warren underground hide, where wildlife photography continues well into the night.

Positioned at eye level beside the camp’s waterhole, The Kings Warren offers exceptional opportunities to photograph wildlife at close quarters, day and night. Designed with photographers in mind, this luxurious underground hide features fully opening viewing windows fitted with specialised one-way photographic glass, air-conditioning, comfortable seating and camera bean bags. Watch elephants, antelope and other wildlife gather at the water’s edge without disturbing their natural behaviour.

Perfect your wildlife images in our dedicated, air-conditioned Photographic Studio overlooking the camp’s waterhole. With guidance from your Specialist Photographic Guide, learn to enhance your photographs using Lightroom and Photoshop on an Apple iMac. Guests also have the opportunity to print their favourite images up to A3+ size, creating lasting memories of their African photographic safari.
