Guest CommentsPhotographic Safaris:“Glenn & I had the most wonderful experience on our Photographic Safari and School. The Serengeti was particularly stunning and photogenic. I learned an enormous amount both about wildlife photography and animal behaviour. Greg, thank you for the way you helped us to better understand both. I am looking forward to the next opportunity to go on safari with you.”Ken & Glenn Moss, Epic Photo School, Serengeti/Ruaha, August 2010 First I want to thank you for what was just an incredible experience. It is clearly one of the best trips I have ever taken and one of the highlights of my life so far. Everything from the camps, to the people were amazing. Greg is just remarkable. Not only is he an incredible photographer, but he is an amazing teacher and person. I sincerely loved the time with him, getting to know him as a person and learning from him. I learned more about photography than I had in the past 20 years. He is very humble and has an incredible teaching style that makes things at all levels easy to understand. Photographers at all levels would benefit from spending time with him. I could go on and on about Greg. Most importantly I look forward to staying in touch with him and hosting him here in the US some day (he has promised to come shoot some sports with me one day). I definitely plan to travel with him again. Bob Youngentob, Epic Photo School, Serengeti/Ruaha, August 2010 "I had a wonderful trip and Greg taught me huge amounts about Wildlife photography. The Serengeti experience was unforgettable. Greg is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. Looking forward to my next trip and will only consider one organised by Greg." Stephen Cheek, Epic Photo School, Serengeti/Ruaha, August 2010  "Classic Serengeti" - what an Understatement! It had always been a dream of mine to visit the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and so for my 40th I decided to treat myself: to me, from me and love me! I contacted Greg du Toit, and the trip was on! After a 40 year build up, I am still amazed to say that the safari exceeded all expectations. Greg put an amazing safari together, with highlights including the millions of wildebeest on the plains, the vastness of the area, the breathtaking beauty of the crater, and an incredible amount of wildlife. Every day was a highlight. The trip took place in early to mid-February, and today, when looking back at the thousands of photos taken, I am still thrilled that a dream of mine was accomplished, and the fact that even I was able to take some amazing photographs. Both of which I would not have been able to do without Greg's help!!! Thanks again. I will be returning. Andrew Louw, Serengeti Migration Safari, March 2010  'The trip was terrific and I can highly recommend it to any one interested in Wildlife photography. Greg is a fantastic guy and I learnt a lot from him! So much so, that I would like to go on another course with him to one of the neighbouring countries later this year. Please keep me posted on what is available? That is any time from May 2010 onwards!' Walter Rosenmeyer, Africa Geographic Photo Workshop, Timbavati, Jan 2010 'Thank you so much for an awesome safari. We both learnt so much and had fun too. You guys are really great, not only talented. Thanks for the adventure!' Michelle and Stu, Kalahari Dessert Sep 2009 'Fantastic experience - pushed the learning curve much higher. Will look for your book!' Peter O'Donoghue, 19 July 2009 'Thanks Greg for another great trip. Awesome sightings and very useful tips, as always. Shot for the motion blur technique! Look forward to the next trip!' Rob Lewis, 21 June 2009  'Eileen and I would like to thank you for hosting a truly memorable photographic safari at Elephant Plains last week. We had a wonderful break in the bush with some amazing sightings and photos. We learnt a lot and had a great time meeting you and Norman, Richard, Chris and his wife. The social time was also very enjoyable. I can certainly highly recommend it to any my friends with similar interests and will try and do another of your safaris as soon as time permits – have to buy Eileen a better lens and an external battery pack to name but a few accessories. Great photos and great memories. We look forward to the next time.' Regards, Anthony and Eileen (Outdoor Photo Safari, June 2009) 'It was a really great trip. I thought that Greg had a great ability to communicate with both teenagers and me. Often with these kind of things the 'expert' can make you out to fell a bit of an ignoramus, but Greg was patient, pleasant and communicated very well. One of the highlights, as a father, was seeing my teenage son getting excited about photographing grass!!!! That was a sight. In terms of what we learnt from the workshop, fantastic! I now understand how my camera works and the general ideas behind taking wildlife photographs. Can’t think of any negatives. Was a great trip. Well done to your magazine and Greg – was a great experience!' Guy Toms (Africa Geographic Expeditions, Photography Workshop, Botswana, April 2009)  Erna & Enrico Liebenberg, April 2009 'I would like to commend Greg on a very well run safari. His eager, friendly and helpful manner was appreciated. He has an amazing amount of patience when dealing with amateur photographers and he was always willing to help and advise at any time of day. He continually encourages and gives worthwhile feedback. The safari is highly recommended for those wanting to know how to achieve the most from their camera when it comes to wildlife photography.' Alan Eliot, Dec 2008  Robert Swanepoel, Nov 2008 Wildlife Galleries:  'This is super well done. Not sure how you did it? Great composition and out of the box thinking.' Kobus Tollig 'Simply awesome - very unusual perspective. How on earth did you manage to get this shot?' Mark 'Ethereal, out of this world.' Jeannie  'Out of this world! I like the mood and technical perfection here the most - very inspiring Greg.' Isak Pretorius 'Greg, an image that portrays classic and wild Africa. Exactly what wildlife photography is about.' Shem Compion 'Greg, I really like your approach to photography. I find it invigorating and inspiring.' David Barnes     'Greg, once again this is an image that makes my mind boggle, so well seen and executed. A simply stunning moment, with such artistic appeal.A dream shot like only you can.' Chad 'Brilliant Greg, I dream of shots like this!' Hilton Kotze 'Very cool Greg! This is wildlife fine art at its best. Print big and send to me to hang on my wall if you don't mind.' Wim van den Heever 'Greg, this is stunning! I generally don't enjoy wildlife shots, but this is art.' Etienne B 'Talk about being at the right place at the right time, you're ability to capture mood is just a gift. Thanks for not making your wildlife shots look like the run of the mill images that we see in magazines. Greg, truly inspiring.' Hendre 'I find this pic very beautiful. Makes me think of the end of life. A life once so beautiful. Really triggers a switch of mood. Some reflections (hard to find words in English).' Pascal Clochez   'This is the very reason why I love your gallery Greg. You manage to take a shot that has been done hundreds of times and still make it absolutely unique.' Jeni Williams 'Images like this make me want to cry! Simply breathe-taking! I have stopped even dreaming of getting shots like this!' Chad 'Greg, you are single-handedly raising the photographic bar.' Albie Venter 'Fantastic, I am really happy to see shots like these. It inspires me to try a different approach...' Andre 'Greg, once again your images are an inspiration.' Dudley Steenkamp  |
