Your Photography. Your Adventure. Designed Around You.

We don't start by asking where you want to go. We start by asking what you want to photograph.

Whether you’re dreaming of photographing pumas in Patagonia, red pandas in the Himalayas, the autumn colours of the Dolomites, polar bears in the Arctic, hidden cultures in Asia or somewhere entirely off the beaten track, we’ll design a completely bespoke photography journey around your goals, your style of photography and your budget.

Every trip is built from scratch by photographers, for photographers.

“Seeing the tigers in the wild was unforgettable, the guides made every drive meaningful with their knowledge and effort, and having a great group to experience it all with made the trip even more special.”

What an experience this was! First class photography tuition including individual assistance on photo editing. A local Maasai guide and spotter with the ability to spot game a long way off and anticipate their movements. Small group size with like minded individuals meant great company, too. I will be booking another trip with Penda for sure.

My tour of the Maasai Mara with Penda was nothing short of brilliant. When you travel to a place as incredible as Kenya you always have very high expectations, and Penda delivered. The tour was very well organised, the staff at the camp, the food, the accommodation and logistics were all amazing. But it’s the people that always make a tour special, and our guide and drivers were brilliant, making sure we got the best access to see and photograph the incredible wildlife of the Maasai Mara. Big shout out to Hanna, our guide, for her expertise and making sure we got the most amazing shots. I can highly recommend Penda if you are ever considering a wildlife photography tour.

Botswana’s Serolo Bushcamp nestled in the Tuli Wilderness, is a wildlife photographer’s dream. The terrain features wide rivers and rocky cliffs. But the real magic? You’re the sole audience to a wide variety of wild animals. No safari traffic jams; just you, the lens, and animals in their natural habitat. The Serolo rangers, friendly and knowledgeable, ensure prime photo ops. Plus, unexpected riverside meals from the talented Serolo staff added a gourmet twist. Highly recommended for an intimate, unforgettable adventure.

Extraordinary experience – trip of a lifetime. Thank you for everything. Highlights were all the animal encounters, and just being immersed in the bush with nice people.

Without doubt it was one of the best photographic trips and adventures that I have undertaken in the last 15 years. Emil was outstanding as the lead for the group and the other two members were really good as well so all in all it made for a fabulous journey. The variety of both animals and landscapes made the trip so interesting and we had one or two wow moments when we encountered something really special.
