Join us on an exciting Wildlife Photographic Safari Workshop in the world famous Kruger National Park. The entire trip is focussed on learning the finer details of wildlife photography. It is an amazing opportunity for photographers who would like the opportunity to photograph wildlife in their natural habitat and learn all the features of their equipment while doing so. You will also have the opportunity to photograph some species at more favourable angles as we will spend quality time at the sightings. Between drives there will be some theoretical tuition to make sure you understand all the features of you camera along with one on one time with your professional wildlife photographer, Michael Tucker. We will also take time learning how to get the best out of your landscape images along with (weather permitting) understanding night time photography including milky way photos and star trails along with moon photography. We will be staying in the 5 star Leopard Lodge on the banks of the Sabie River overlooking the Kruger National Park. We will have sole use of the facilities for the duration of our stay.
