The silence can be deafening, the feeling of being ‘out there’ no greater. A sparsely populated country, Namibia offers endless vistas, giant skies and wilderness isolation at its best.

 

Namibia is simply like no other country and it is therefore an easy decision to add a Namibia wildlife photo safari to your safari bucket list.

 

Your ‘bespoke best of Namibia’ wildlife photo safari starts with a Skeleton Coast photo safari, arguably the most remote and unique safari destination in Africa. Driving all the way up the Skeleton coast and past old shipwrecks, you will spend a night or two on one of the wildest coastlines in the world. Turning inland and following an ancient riverbed, we will explore this artery of Kaokoland, looking for desert-adapted elephant, giraffe and lion. This is also the official home of the brown hyena.

 

A private Namibia wildlife photo safari is like visiting another planet. The only place to see desert black rhino, desert elephant and desert giraffe.

 


Turning south again, your ‘bespoke best of Namibia’ exploration will now penetrate the heart of Damaraland. This is perhaps Africa’s remotest wilderness and evidence of this is that this is the official home of the desert black rhino. These prehistoric creatures have always lived here, in the middle of nowhere, and they have not been reintroduced. Remote springs provide life in this vast wilderness wonder. This is a good place to photograph Hartmann’s mountain zebra.The landscape is rocky, otherworldly, you will feel like you are visiting another planet. The feeling of exploration truly is no greater than in Namibia.

 

If you enjoy your astro photography then look no further than Namibia.

 

Next on your ‘bespoke best of Namibia’ safari will be Etosha pan. Here you will stay in two private concessions and traverse across the ecosystem from the west to the east. The photo opportunities are varied with a plethora of game congregating around waterholes. We will make use of special photographic hides too. My personal favourite subject though are the ground squirrels, as cute as can be and using their tails for shade. After Etosha, your safari becomes truly bespoke as you can choose to head into Himba-land and enjoy some cultural photography. You can also do something different and head across and photograph the Epupa Falls, where water plunges between baobab trees. Or you can head south to photograph fossilised trees in the Namib desert’s famous Sossusvlei. Wherever you go, the feeling of freedom and exploration will follow.

 

A private Namibia wildlife photo safari is all about space and freedom, and starry starry nights.

 

And brown hyena!

Bespoke Photographic Safari Guest Testimonials

'Hey Greg, It took three days to download and organize my 5412 files! You blew me away with your kindness, graciousness, and expertise. Okay, so now I am bit and I can't wait to go back. The wild is the only thing that makes sense and I understand what motivates you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for introducing me to your world and for sharing your experience, strength, and hope for the future of conservation.'

Nell Dickerson (USA)
'Greg, thanks so much for the outstanding private safari in the Okavango Delta. The itinerary that you developed gave us a terrific mix of magical Delta experiences, with fine camps and excellent local guides. The most important ingredient in this terrific experience, however, was you. On the photographic front, we were inspired by your commitment to artistic creativity and excellence, as well as ethical practices, in the capturing of wildlife images and greatly appreciated your graciously shared world class photographic expertise. We were delighted to find that you are also a knowledgeable naturalist, with wide-ranging expertise and engaging stories (and a voluminous reference library on your phone!) about both the fauna and the flora of Africa. We were encouraged by your commitment to conservation! We look forward eagerly to joining you in the Masai Mara next year and in the South Rift Valley!'

Mark and Bonnie Overgaard (USA)
'Since our very first contact, Greg gave me lots of advices about safari destinations and about photography. He always answered my hundreds mail (sorry Greg 😉 ) helping me to find and book the best travel for shooting hippos and to buy some photographic stuffs I have never seen before. I have known a man who really loves Africa and wildlife and most important, who knows lot of things about Africa and wildlife, but at the same time you can talk to him as you talk to one of your friend. I dont write about his knowledge of photo gears and technique as it would be superfluous. I can only say that my skill level is increased by several steps. His advices during safaris were, in my opinion, the best part of my entire time spent in Kenya. During my time spent in the bush, I really feel myself like a photographer, not like a tourist. Thank you, thank you so much!'

Nicola Cappelletti (Italy)
To Greg, Thank you for giving us such a wonderful safari in Amboseli and the Masai Mara, and for letting us see Africa through your eyes. We were enamoured by your extraordinary life and your total love of Africa and the bush. Thank you for all your amazing stories of your adventures and the weird and wonderful people you have met (there's nowt so queer as folk!). As a token of our appreciation we hope you will enjoy this book by a fellow great photographer. We hope our paths will cross again.

Flemming and Sonia (Scotland)
Greg, your presence on our safari made the whole experience five-star. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of the land, animals, birds, and history. Outside of safari time I loved listening to your stories and funny sense of humour. Thank you again for a trip of a lifetime.

Geraldine (Houston, Texas)
'Good morning Greg. I trust you got home safely. Thanks for being such an incomparable guide and company. See you in February, if not before (maybe October).'

Stephen and Eric Cheek (UK)
'It was such a privilege to spend a week with Greg. On all levels he is a joy to spend time in the bush with. Its really apparent through his passion, knowledge and talent why he was The Wildlife Photographer of the Year. We had some amazing sightings. From following mating leopards for 5 hours on my birthday to packs of wild dogs, cheetahs, and 19 different leopards. Oh, and two snakes! And of course, spending some time with Claire was very special to us.'

Deborah Keener Brown (USA)
'Dear Greg, the training and experience with you has been even better than we expected. You bring out the best of Africa as you teach us each day to appreciate the animals and capture the best moments with pictures. You are patient and professional and we look forward to another journey with you. Best to you, Bob 'the camera caddy' and Jacquie.'

Bob and Jacquie Paul (USA)
