About the Tour

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.

An Itinerary Glimpse

Fly out to to your small and uncrowded camp the Okavango Delta. Arrive at the camp, drop your luggage, have some tea and brunch and head out in a private game drive, at an eco friendly camp in a private concession in the the heart of the Okavango Delta. Then back to the lodge for dinner, then settle by the camp fire before retiring to bed.

Mid day – Fly to the newly opened camp located in deep in the Okavango Delta, set on the southeastern side of Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana, overlooking the Gomoti River and its floodplains,After unpacking and a quick lunch, we head out for a private afternoon game drive.

We head out before sunrise for a private morning game drive, and arrive back at camp for brunch. A few hours rest, then out we go again to maximize our photography time.

In the morning, up again before sunrise and head out for an early morning game drive. We will game drive until the plane comes. We will head back to Maun, then Johannesburg. The tour is now over. If you wish to stay more nights in Jo’berg, please make reservations.

Important Note

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 or perfume while out on the game drives.
