Photography tours are designed for travellers who want to experience a destination through the lens. Africa provides an exceptional range of subjects, from wildlife and birds to dramatic landscapes, traditional cultures, architecture and coastal scenery. Koi Safaris can tailor itineraries around the photographic interests of each traveller while allowing enough time for observation and creative work.
Kenya is particularly suited to wildlife and landscape photography. The country's savannahs, mountains, forests, wetlands and coast create contrasting environments for capturing wildlife and scenery. Nairobi National Park offers the unusual combination of wildlife and a city skyline, while Kakamega Forest provides opportunities to photograph forest biodiversity, birds, primates and landscapes.
Tanzania provides another exceptional photography environment, from the open plains of the Serengeti and landscapes around Ngorongoro to the mountains of Kilimanjaro and the historic streets of Zanzibar. The country's tourism authority specifically highlights aerial landscapes, wildlife, beaches, culture and adventure as major visual experiences.
For wildlife photographers, Uganda and Rwanda offer the opportunity to photograph primates, forest birds, mountain landscapes and other wildlife. Rwanda's Gorilla Gram initiative also demonstrates how visitor photography can contribute to knowledge and monitoring of mountain gorillas when used responsibly.
South Africa expands the possibilities further with wildlife, dramatic coastlines, mountains, cities, cultural sites and nature reserves. The country's tourism portfolio identifies nature photography, wildlife viewing, hiking and coastal experiences among its significant tourism assets.
Our photography tours can be adapted for beginners, enthusiasts and experienced photographers, with itineraries designed around the subjects, landscapes and pace you want to capture.
