Zimbabwe is a country that defies odds and despite suffering a destroyed economy, the wildlife thrives and the country has arguably the best safari guides on the continent. You will especially experience this on any of my Zimbabwe Mana Pools photo safaris or at Chitake Springs.

 

A Zimbabwe photo safari is the most adventurous safari you can do because you will photograph on foot.

 

Not being in a vehicle on a Zimbabwe photo safari really changes things and elevates adrenaline levels, no more so than at Chitake Springs on my Zimbabwe Mana Pools photo safari. It is not that it is dangerous, the Zimbabwe photo safari guides are the best trained in Africa. In fact, it is because they are so well trained that you will get to experience wildlife on foot on your Zimbabwe private photo safari.

 

Your ‘bespoke best of Zimbabwe’ photo safari will start with you taking in the vast plains of Hwange National Park. Here you will be gently introduced to the wild environment as photography is mainly done from a vehicle on this leg of your Zimbabwe photo safari. Your Hwange photo safari includes herds of Roan and Sable antelope and this is an indication of just how remote and wild this park is. A Hwange photo safari is also the best chance you have in Africa of seeing lion hunt elephant.


Your heart will race and you will feel like you have experienced the ultimate in terms of wildlife experiences.

 

Next on your bespoke best of Zimbabwe itinerary will be exploring the shores of Lake Kariba and photographing wild sunsets filled with dead trees and wildlife. You just don’t get more ‘Africa’ than this! Following the Zambezi River east on your ‘bespoke best of Zimbabwe’ photo safari, your journey takes a truly wild turn at Mana Pools where you will experience Africa’s wildlife in a new way – on foot. Photographing elephants and wild dog on foot is what a Zimbabwe Mana Pools photo safari is all about. The camps can be basic on a Mana Pools photo safari but the wild encounters are simply exhilarating. There are also luxury lodges and often a combination of a mobile camp and a luxury lodge is the way to go on your bespoke Mana Pools photo safari leg. A few nights fly camping at a very special spring in a remote part of Mana Pools National Park is a must.

 

If getting up close and personal with Africa’s wild animals is what you want, then a Zimbabwe private photo safari is the one for you.

Bespoke Photographic Safari Guest Testimonials

'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.'

'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.'
