A 4day/3night Professional Photographic Safari

Whilst all our guides at Makanyi are very proficient photographers in their own right and excellent at teaching guests the best ways to make the most of their camera equipment, there are many guests who wish to take their photography to the next level. For this we recommend a Private Photographic Safari. They are designed for guests who are looking for the full attention of the photographic tutor to maximize their learning and photographic skills in the number of days that have been allocated.

This is open to and suitable for all levels of photographers, be it first time users or more advanced.

It consists of one to one training or group (max 4 people) and the photographic tutor not only teaches and coaches the client but fulfills the roll of a private guide as well.

Included in private photographic tuition is the use of a private vehicle, guide and tracker which enables you to have maximum flexibility for your wishes and convenience. Camera equipment including lenses, bodies, supports and bean bags can be rented from Africa Photographic Services in advance.

There are two thrilling game drives every day: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is your opportunity to meet and photograph the incredible animals in the heart of their natural habitat.

Take a stroll in the bush with your guide and follow the animal tracks, discover hundreds of intriguing plants and bushes, and learn about the tiniest creatures. You might even sneak up to a rhino on foot, which is a thrilling experience! *Walks are done in our winter months only, no children under 14 years years, good level of fitness is required.

Melt into an indulging massage in our spa or in the comfort of your own room, surrounded by the tranquil sounds of nature.

Your daily workout is assured in our fully equipped gymnasium.

Learn a little more about the night sky with the use of an amazing telescope or your guide pointing out the night sky returning back from the evening game drive. You’ll see the beautiful constellations of the Southern Hemisphere and have an unspoilt view of the Milky Way often with the odd satellite passing by. *Star gazing is done in our winter months only and weather dependant.
