The African Photography Safaris Podcast
Step into the world of wildlife photography safaris with the African Photography Safaris Podcast. We share real, day-to-day experiences from the field, from early morning drives to unforgettable wildlife encounters across Africa.
Each episode covers what you need to know about photographic safaris: travel tips, gear advice, fieldcraft, shooting techniques, and how to get the best from your time in the bush. We also answer listener questions, review helpful books and apps, and reflect on some of our most memorable moments in the African wilderness.
Whether you’re planning your first safari or reliving past adventures, the African Photography Safaris Podcast brings you the stories, skills, and soul of Africa’s wild places.
