It does not get any better than this! Explore and photograph the best African wildlife reserves, at the best time of year, from our own private safari vehicles, boat charters, light plane flights over the Rift Valley, elephants and lakes filled with flamingos, and - for the brave - even short walks on foot!

Highly experienced driver guides will get us close to the game each day, and in the evenings we'll relax in stunning private accommodations including luxury 'tent houses' overlooking the Amboseli National Park to Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the 'Elephant Bedrooms' where elephants literally walk right past! All delicious meals, park entry fees etc are included.

"Kenya is the most breathtaking backdrop against which to learn the magic of photography. Chris and Jess have a unique way of making learning photography a natural extension of a wonderful holiday. The wildlife was mind-blowing, the accommodation unbelievable, and the guides were amazing. Especially loved the flight with the flamingos! As promised, it was the trip of a lifetime. An unforgettable 2 weeks and I have over 10,500 photos to prove it!" ~ Maxine Rice (2011 Safari)
We have carefully put together (and refined in 2011) this amazingly diverse and excitingly unique itinerary to get you to all the best places, and at just the right time of year, to help you get THE best Galapagos photos ever! Join Australian Geographic Photographer and Canon Ambassador Chris Bray photographing giant tortoises congregating beside misty mountain lakes, snorkel with seals and turtles in crystal clear water, climb and gaze out over the planets 2nd largest volcano crater, snap tropicbirds and frigatebirds performing acrobatics overhead and marvel at the iconic marine iguanas as they clamber around you, basking in the sun before they scamper back into the ocean beside penguins, sea lions, dolphins and even manta rays. Home to the world's rarest animals, Galapagos really is a stunning island paradise, bursting with the same impossible abundance of wildlife that first got Sir Charles Darwin pondering on his theory of evolution by natural selection in the 1930's. Most other safaris to Galapagos are unfortunately boat-based, and as many islands have strict landing times, this means many safaris here really frustrate photographers as you can never get ashore for the beautiful morning or evening lighting. Excitingly, while we do have boat transfers to and from some tightly controlled islands, we'll always be staying the night on shore in hotels, which not only means we'll have more time for photos, but we'll be living, eating and relaxing in the villages rather than stuck on a ship, meaning we get to experience the true Galapagos!

"This trip provided a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Galapagos Islands. Each unique day had been carefully planned to get the most out of our time on the different volcanic islands, exploring some on foot, getting up close with the amazing Galapagos wildlife and snorkeling in some of the best spots with sea lions and turtles. This is definitely a trip not to be missed!" ~ Sarah Summers (2011 Safari)

Our richly diverse itinerary will give us unprecedented access to Tasmania's most stunning and remote photographic locations including the Bay of Fires, Wineglass Bay and Maria Island, by private helicopter, minibus, light plane and foot.

"With out a doubt, the east coast of Tasmania has some of the most gorgeous scenery found anywhere in the world. To be able to combine a holiday and our passion - photography - in the same place, especially under the expert tutelage of Chris and Jess was a dream come true. I would not have been able to take these photos before this trip, for not only was Chris and Jess showing us wonderful places, but they were showing us HOW to take photos as well. I certainly think I learnt a tremendous amount and my skills have blossomed." ~ Keith Friend (2010 Safari). Look at the photos he uploaded to the Tasmanian Tourism website!
