TripAfrica has teamed up with Pangolin Photo Safaris to put together an amazing 9 night trip including a 5 day wildlife photography course set in the stunning Chobe National Park where you will learn how to take the perfect shot in the most perfect of backdrops! The ‘Photographers Footsteps’ safari sandwiches the wildlife photography course between the incredible Victoria Falls and the magical Okavango Delta creating a fantastic safari package.

The School

Pangolin Photo Safaris are a new specialised operation offering short photographic courses & activities in & around Chobe National Park, Botswana. Their range of safari vehicles are perfectly equipped for both the amateur and experienced photographer and training is of the highest standard to suit all photographers & cameras.  Pangolins Better Wildlife Photography course incorporated into this trip is run by professional, renowned wildlife photographers  & guides James Gifford or Gerhard Swanepoel and covers both technical and artistic aspects of photography. All ‘lessons’ are taken outdoors in the National Park and further training, critique and refinement continue back at the lodge.
 

The Classroom

The wildlife photography course takes place in the world famous Chobe National Park and lessons are conducted both in an expertly converted photographically equipped Unimog or a similarly equipped photo boat. Chobe National Park has the luxury of exceptional game viewing year round and some of the highest densities of elephant populations Africa-wide.
