About Us & Our Team Of Guides
NaturesLens was founded in 2014 by David & Pui Hang with a simple idea at its heart – to create wildlife photography experiences that put photographers first. In that first year, just five trips were organised, each carefully designed to give guests the best chance of capturing remarkable images in the wild. The second year followed a similar pattern, with another five holidays, as the business began to build a reputation for small groups, single-occupancy accommodation & a photographer-focused approach.
From those early days, NaturesLens has steadily grown into a leading provider of specialist wildlife photography holidays. Over the years, the schedule has expanded to cover destinations across the globe, from Europe to Asia, Africa & the Americas. Today, we run more than 40 trips annually, each one offering carefully planned itineraries, strong local partnerships & expert guidance.
At the core of this growth remain David & Pui Hang. Pui Hang oversees the financials & much of the administration that keeps the business running smoothly, drawing on her previous career as both an executive assistant & a project manager. David focuses on trip scouting, design & planning, while also managing the website & all the technology that sits behind the business, building on his background as a software architect & senior developer. Together, they personally guide around 75% of NaturesLens tours worldwide, supported by a small team of talented guides who we count more as friends than colleagues.
The NaturesLens guiding & administration team is made up of Alison Jenkins, Conny Lundstrom, Dan Trim, David Miles, Ian Roberts, Johnny Sodergard, NaturesLens, Pui Hang Miles & Robin Lowry.
