Our workshop safaris are lead by an accomplished photographer who will assist and teach the participants. The level and amount of formal instruction varies by safari theme and by leader. Many participants are professional photographers themselves, and are just looking for great shooting opportunities, camaraderie with other pro photographers, and the savings of a package-priced photography-focused safari.
Beginner photographers will benefit greatly from the guidance of the safari leader and, typically, from the other participants as well. We try and be specific on the amount of formal instruction provided, or what specific skills the leader brings. Workshops based at our Grand Ruaha Camp will include the most post-processing instruction as that is where we have the most space, time and equipment for it.
Tour leaders are shooting also, but their priority is to help and assist guests with their photography and they will rotate which vehicle they are in to spend time with all participants.
