I had the opportunity to have a quick beginners course. The hour spent was so insightful and informative. They are able to explain everything you need to know, in such simple terms and extra help was provided by a PowerPoint presentation that is shown at the same time. Definitely going back for the next few steps in my new found hobby. Thank you!
Tania HattinghThe cherry on top of our safari experience!

I was in two minds about booking this service while staying at the Makanyi Game Lodge, but so glad I did. I opted for the two days option, to manage costs, although four days is also possible. Hilton (Kotze) is a tremendous and patient teacher. He took time to understand my abilities (limited) and geared his tutoring to reflect this. He was also careful to understand what I wanted from the photographs and how I would use them. An all round brilliant experience with a great bloke.
What an Adventure...The wildlife and the big 5 were amazing.

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.
