Photographic Safaris
Reserves chosen for wildlife density and photographic access. Dedicated hides, low-sided vehicles, guides who understand light and composition as well as Latin names.
ExploreAfrica has a way of getting under your skin. We help you get there properly: the right reserves, the right lodges, at the right time of year.
Plan Your SafariThe animals are only part of it. A great safari puts you somewhere so wild and alive that it changes how you see everything else. That is what we help you find.
Jarryd du Preez has spent 13 years in the safari industry, more than eight of them living and working in game reserves across South Africa, including the Sabi Sands and KwaZulu-Natal. As a field guide and head ranger at properties like andBeyond Phinda, he built a detailed knowledge of which reserves deliver the best wildlife, which lodges genuinely earn their rates, and what makes a safari memorable rather than just expensive.
Conservation sits at the core of every trip he recommends.

Go beyond the game drive. Join rhino monitoring, wild dog tracking or pangolin research. These are the reserves doing serious conservation work, and they let you be part of it.

Kids old enough to remember it will talk about this trip for the rest of their lives. We match families to lodges with proper children's programmes, private vehicles and the right age policies.

Africa rewards a honeymoon like nowhere else. Private dinners in the bush, seclusion, superb game viewing and lodges built for two. Jarryd has recommended these lodges for years, and a few of them hold personal significance.
ExploreFrom private concessions in the Sabi Sands and Okavango Delta to the Serengeti and Masai Mara, we work across the continent's best wildlife regions.
Some people want leopard sightings every morning. Others want to track wild dogs on foot, spend a night in a treehouse, or finish with four days in Cape Town. What matters to you shapes every decision we make.
We ask real questions, listen carefully, then build an itinerary that fits your travel style, budget and interests. That is the only way we know how to do it.
