IMPORTANT NOTE
This is a photographic tour and not a workshop, you will need to have some working knowledge of your camera. The action goes down fast and even though I am helping with the settings, you have to know where things are on your camera.

Your fitness level should be that you can carry you own camera gear and be able to walk to your room or tent. You should be able to walk short distances with your gear on as well and get in and out of the jeeps and boats. You will have to climb up in the jeeps, a good balance and arm strength is required. I do talk and evaluate each guest before approving, as this is for photographers.

PLEASE READ: There is no smoking while out on the game drives, or perfume.
