The nicest thing we found here was no matter your ability, you will learn something, from finding out where the on button is to learning how to produce panning shots. The guides here are patient, funny and knowledgeable.
It didn’t feel like the usual classroom environment and the best part is getting into the field to put all the information into action. Even though some of the guests had massive lenses and more than one camera it never felt like us novices were on the backburner and with so many willing models in the park we didn’t have to drive far to start getting our shots.

Aside from all the specialist equipment, the hotel itself is gorgeous. For those that maybe take photography as a hobby or have been dragged along by a keen partner, there is plenty to keep you happy in between activities: the lodge staff can arrange for you to visit the nearby rehabilitation centre to see how the locals care for wildlife that needs a helping hand – they even have a hand reared orphan honey badger! They have an extensive cocktail list, which is included in your nightly stay, a eco-friendly pool and often have four-legged visitors to the watering hole at the front of the hotel. The food here is incredible and the chef is hilarious- be sure to chat with him. The rooms are beautiful, clean and airy so you can simply relax and enjoy a bit of rest! There is Wi-Fi available throughout the hotel so you can start uploading all your fabulous pics!
