Get Africa in focus, shoot with purpose
Why choose a Photographic Safari Collection tour?
Dear Photography Enthusiast,
Are you dreaming of capturing Africa’s raw beauty through your lens, but worried you’re not skilled enough? Do you feel stuck in your photography, and are craving inspiration that will help you take your shots from ordinary to extraordinary?
Or are you an experienced photographer searching for a new challenge to push your creative boundaries?
At Encompass Africa, our Photographic Safari Collection is the cure to these struggles.
We’ve crafted a number of transformative journeys through Africa’s iconic landscapes, designed to elevate your photography, no matter your level.
Why you should come
This isn’t just another safari – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure crafted by Africa specialists who live and breathe this continent. With experience across 24 countries, we’ve handpicked the best destinations for photographic safaris – from Kenya’s Masai Mara to Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Our intimate, small-group journeys are led by phenomenal local photographers, designed to immerse you in Africa’s wildlife, wilderness and vibrant cultures. And because every safari supports conservation and community projects, your journey will make a lasting difference.
What you’ll learn
No matter your experience, our expert photographers provide hands-on, personalised guidance to help you grow every step of the way:
Master wildlife photography – Learn to freeze a cheetah’s sprint or frame an elephant against a glowing sunset, with expert advice on composition, lighting and timing.
Capture cultural stories with care – During respectful village visits, discover how to photograph local life with sensitivity, even using fun disposable cameras for a different perspective.
Sharpen your technical skills – Whether you’re learning camera basics or exploring advanced techniques like long exposure or macro shots, you’ll get practical, in-the-field coaching.
Edit like a pro – Back at camp, learn how to transform your raw shots into polished narratives using editing tools and tips from the experts.
Tell meaningful stories – Go beyond single shots to craft compelling photo essays that capture the spirit of Africa and support conservation storytelling.
How it benefits you – whether you’re a beginner or a pro
Beginners: Gain confidence with patient, step-by-step guidance. Even if you’re starting out with just a smartphone, you’ll return with stunning photos and a solid foundation in photography.
Intermediates: Break through creative plateaus by learning advanced techniques and fresh ways to capture Africa’s landscapes, wildlife and cultures.
Advanced photographers: Push your skills further in challenging environments, with expert feedback to refine your portfolio and capture truly iconic shots.
Everyone: Leave with more than great images. This experience builds lifelong skills, fosters a deep connection to Africa – and supports the conservation of the extraordinary places and communities you photograph.
