The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) views any drone flying in the sky as an aircraft that must abide by the same law as manned aircraft. This means a commercial drone pilot must go through a number of certification processes, from getting a Remote Pilot’s License (RPL) to a Remote Operating Certificate (ROC).
Not abiding by these laws can have serious implications for not only the pilot but also the company who hired the pilot.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When is the best time to take photographs?
The best time to have a couples or family shoot is during the golden hour, which is around sunset or sunrise.
How does the timing work?
The photographer will arrive at the lodge at High tea to meet you and the ranger that will be taking you on the drive.
The photographer will join you for the game drive where the game ranger and photographer will decide on the best place to have the shoot. The photographer will capture any images of the wildlife that you see.
Roughly an hour before sunset the ranger will stop at the right place to have a drink and snacks and for you to have the shoot. The shoot will be roughly an hour and a half. We then finish the game drive and head back to the lodge.
One of our options includes a night shoot at the lodge. The photographer will remain at the lodge. After dinner the photographer will have another shoot with you at the lodge and hopefully the stars will be out!
Do we need to book a private game vehicle?
Yes, you will need to organise your own private vehicle with the lodge directly. We are not responsible for organising a vehicle for you. If this is not possible, we suggest you opt for the mini shoot that can be done between breakfast and high tea.
Do you need accommodation?
Usually no, but it depends on what type of shoot that you would like.
If you look at our timing FAQ, once you head back to the lodge the photographer will leave. Therefore no accommodation will be necessary. If you would like a night shoot then accommodation will be needed. Your travel agent will be in contact with us and the lodge to organise the accommodation.
How many images will I receive?
It is always tough to promise a certain amount of images that you will receive. We focus on quality over quantity. We always aim to give you a minimum of 50 images.
How long until I receive my images?
As we focus on quality over quantity, we also focus on each and every image. We take the time to edit each and every image. We create a story with our images that will take you back to your incredible stay.
How do I receive the images?
We upload all of the images to an online gallery for you to download and share as you please. The images will remain in the gallery for one month for you to download.
