Wildlife Photography & Conservation Program

This program will change your life! - I can't stress this enough. Every day was a different adventure. I met people from all across the globe who opened my eyes to so many extraordinary perspectives. From sleeping within hearing distance to lions, to swimming with sharks, to walking with elephants... from having my coffee order memorized day TWO by the sweetest barista at the most charming coffee shop I've ever set foot in, to breathtaking views of the unbelievable landscapes.. swimming in the ocean at sunrise post-yoga, capturing NatGeo-esque photos of baby monkeys grasping onto their mothers' backs and so many more unique and gorgeous moments.. I will remember the month spent in South Africa as the moth that changed my life forever. Being the first solo abroad trip I've taken, I went into it nervous of course, but I couldn't be more happy that I did. Not exaggerating, I think about it pretty much every day and dream about going back as soon as I can. Fiona and Annie were unbelievably hospitable, genuine, caring, and thorough in their demonstrations and explanations. They made sure everyone felt welcome and that we all had personalized lessons based on our experience levels. A month of laughs and visual wonders; a lifetime of memories and inspiration.

I learned so much and became a lot more comfortable with my camera, especially my 600mm lens. If you love nature photography, I highly recommend this program.You won't regret it! Thank you, Ashleigh, for an amazing month!

The Wildlife and Travel Photography course was a unique experience. I enjoyed that there was so much variety in terms of the places we have been to and all of the extra activities in the weekend. I really got to see the African wildlife and above that the landscape there is incredible. Not to mention that the accommodation was beautiful and beyond what I expected. It had all the facilities needed and the staff was always very friendly. Since I was a beginner in the field I simply hoped to get a grip on the basics of a DSLR camera but at the end of the month I was able to set the correct settings and modes on the camera myself for particular sceneries and situations which was much more than I expected I would be able to do :).
