For women who long to experience Africa through their own lens
I accompany small-group photography safaris into the African bush, where there is time to watch properly, to get to know the people you travel with, and to take the photos you came for.
Women-only photography safaris in Africa, with personal tuition for your own photography, all the time you need with wildlife, and good company in the vehicle.
Every trip is planned around you being in the right place at the right time, when the light and the animals are at their best. I accompany each safari myself and I’m there to share what I’ve learned and to support your own way of seeing, so you come home with photos that still feel like the moment you took them.
Come to shoot. Leave with stories worth bringing home
Small groups
I take only 4 to 8 photographers on each safari, with no more than 4 to 6 in a vehicle, so everyone has room to shoot and I have time for each of you. That lets me adapt to the light, the animals and the moment, without the pressure of a larger group.
Local Partners
I plan each safari together with local partners whose guides know the parks and the animals far better than any visitor could. Accommodation, transport and the daily programme are arranged with them, and I stay in touch with the team from the first booking until the l
Worry-free
From accommodation and transport to the finer details of daily planning, I take care of everything throughout your photo safari. This allows you to relax, stay present, and focus completely on your photography, and on being in the right place, in the right light, at the right moment.

…more Photography Safaris coming soon
I personally accompany every photo safari, whether it’s a small group or a private safari. We go out looking for wildlife, follow the light, and stay ready for whatever turns up on the path ahead of us. The photos I want you to take home are the ones that show what the moment was actually like.

Through My Lens, Into the Wild
This gallery is a selection from my wildlife photography portfolio, taken across Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania: a lion looking straight at me, a flash of colour on a quiet branch, dust rising in the early morning light.
I take these photos because I love being out in the bush with a camera, never knowing what will come next. If you’d like to see what a photo safari in Africa with me can look like, have a look around.
