The average size of a photographic group on the African photo safaris is eight clients. We find that this is the perfect number of clients to photo host ratio to make the experience one of intimate teaching and aim for access to information. If you have a group larger than this you will tend to not be able to spend as much time with the photo host as you might have light and therefore we do limit the group size to only eight people at a time.
In The Chobe, our photo boats seat a maximum of eight clients. In the Okavango Delta, we use vehicles with a maximum number of 4 clients per game drive. On hosted workshops, there will be one photo host and eight clients. This is why we start most of our photo workshops in the Chobe because we are able to utilise the Pangolin photo boats and this helps us to do more teaching one-on-one at the start of the safari.
When we are in the Okavango Delta the photo host will alternate between the game viewers spending half of the time with each group on each game activity. More often than not the two vehicles travel through The Delta together and so in parting information from one vehicle to another is often possible of wildlife sightings.
