Why you should come with me
I design every safari around one thing: getting you in the right place, at the right time, with the right light.
With years of experience traveling and photographing across Africa, I know the landscapes, the seasons, and the animal behavior that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. Whether you are capturing your first lion at golden hour or refining your wildlife portfolio, I handle the logistics so you can focus entirely on your craft.
My groups are small, the locations are carefully chosen, and the pace is set by the light, not the clock. You will receive practical guidance in the field, honest feedback when you want it, and the freedom to shoot when the moment is right.
Due to 40 years of experience as a First Class host, my guests will not only take beautiful photos, but also have an advisor who knows how to lead discerning groups, capture the mood of the moment, and make every single person feel valued.
That’s an added value that photographers alone rarely offer
Join me, and come home with images that tell real stories from the wild.
My upcoming Tours:
Tanzania Wildlife & Culture Photography Journey for Women
An 11-day photography journey through Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Ndutu and the Serengeti, designed for women who want to grow behind the lens.
Small group of 6-10 including myself, shared double rooms, high quality accommodations, single occupancy available
- Private 4×4 Land Cruiser with pop-up photography roof
- Only 3 guests per vehicle: space and flexibility to shoot
- Full-board accommodation throughout
- All park fees, game drives, and airport transfers
Dates: November 12th-23rd 2027
The safari trip runs in mid-November, the start of Tanzania’s green season, and that is a deliberate choice.
These are not the peak migration months, and a passing afternoon shower is part of the experience.
What you gain in return is what most photographers never get: emerald plains instead of dust, skies stacked with dramatic cloud, far fewer vehicles at every sighting, and the rare chance to photograph wildlife in the rain.
As the southern Serengeti and Ndutu begin to green, the herds drift in and the predators follow. For a photographer, green season is not a compromise. It is a quieter, richer, more cinematic Africa.
This journey is created in partnership with Still Waters Safaris, an award-winning, women-led company and recipient of the Bessie Award 2026 for Best Start-up of the Year. Their work goes far beyond guiding safaris. They are deeply committed to empowering women in Tanzania, supporting widows and orphans. By traveling with us, you become part of a story that gives back to the very communities that make this experience possible.
Camps and guesthouse tour through Kruger NP, South Africa 2027
A 10 days tour through South Africa’s most spectacular and biggest National Park.
Specifically curated for photographers who don’t want to tick off the Big 5, but who want to enjoy waiting at a sighting until the lion lifts its head to look directly into your lens, for the Hippo to emerge blowing water, for the huge herd of elephants to walk past your vehicle, almost touching you.
This is not a luxury tour with a freestanding bathtub in your room but a tour where you enjoy freshly cooked meals and shared companionship during their preparations. It’s a tour designed for getting the most out of the time in the bush where the real luxury is: the animals. Accommodations are the typical San Parks double standard rooms with own indoor bathrooms and outdoor kitchenettes.
Dates: August 20th-30th 2027
