The Best View of the Big 5 You’ll Ever See
“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.”
While Robert Cappa wasn’t speaking about safari photography specifically, he may as well have been. The problem is: how close can you really get to a lion, an elephant, a leopard, before you’re, well, lunch?
The answer? VERY! If you put yourself in the right hands that is.
Sikeleli Safaris has joined forces with famed wildlife photographer Trai Anfield once again to take you on an unforgettable African safari where you will not only learn the tricks of the trade and understand how best to use your photographic equipment, but also how to spend time observing animal behaviour in order to capture the right moment and shoot like a pro.
Whether you are an amateur photographer with a passion for the lens, a wildlife enthusiast, or an experienced professional, Trai will guide you through an incredible once-in a lifetime safari and photography experience.
Feel the lion’s roar in your bones, smell the leopard’s breath through your pores, see the hippo’s tonsils with your very own eyes, and capture it all on camera as witness your bravery! It’s the ultimate African safari – with exceptional photographic evidence to prove it.
