Grab your passport and your camera, adventure awaits!

Matt Armstrong is a talented safari and photographic guide. Having worked across the continent we first met Matt at the Shenton properties, where year after year he is asked back to help on-site and regularly brings his clients. Matt quickly realised his talent when he was guiding and his enthusiasm to share these special sightings with people, quickly elevated to show them how to capture this on film.

His love of nature came at an early age and despite a very successful football career it was the wildlife that created the fire in his life and he quickly moved to Africa to work as a guide and lodge manager. Not content with exploring some of Africa’s most remote corners he also takes a trip across the globe from polar bears to mating Scottish grouse he has photographed, rather beautifully, it all! His passion is infectious and his work with conservation also drew us to set up this trip with Matt at the helm through the eco-friendly Green Safari properties.

Take a trip around some of Zambia and Malawi’s most picturesque places with Matt’s guidance. From beginner to expert Matt can not only find you some of the best spots to see wildlife but also show you how to use your camera. From complicated techniques to expert tracking, post-capture editing to all-round good fun! This is a trip not to be missed for those looking to get the perfect capture of a beautiful memory.
