African Elephant Photography
Few animals reward patience behind a lens quite like the African Elephant, and NaturesLens builds several of its African photography holidays around the chance to capture these animals against some of the continent's most dramatic backdrops. Working alongside experienced guides and fellow photographers, guests are given the time and positioning needed to compose considered images rather than snatched opportunities, whether that means a herd moving through open plains or gathering along a riverbank.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the African Elephant
NaturesLens runs African Elephant photography holidays across Tanzania, Kenya and Botswana, with itineraries such as Lions of the Serengeti and African Wildlife of the Maasai Mara taking in the Lobo Valley, the Maasai Mara and the wider Great Rift Valley in East Africa. Further trips, including Wildlife of Shompole Wilderness and Wildlife of Shompole, are centred on the Shompole region of Kenya, while Wildlife of the Chobe River focuses on the Chobe River and Kasane area of Botswana. These holidays are typically scheduled for September and October, giving photographers a reliable window to plan their trip around.
