With stunning rocky landscapes, prime opportunities for big cat sightings, large herds of elephants, crystal clear starry nights and a vast array of bird species, the Tuli Block in Botswana is the perfect photo safari destination.
Join us for a weeklong adventure in this river-side wilderness, and photograph a wealth of wildlife under the guidance of wildlife and conservation photographer Alan Hewitt. You will stay at a safari-style camp in the heart of the game reserve and your days will be filled with game drives, walking safaris, photography workshops and meals under the stars. Along the way, you’ll receive photographic tutoring by Alan Hewitt, who will help you sharpen your skills, at whichever level you are as a photographer.
You can expect a true wilderness experience; we’ll take over a full camp and there will be no other game drive vehicles around. This is a real luxury for wildlife photographers; the exclusivity of the setting offers incredible photographic opportunities.
If you’re up for a longer wildlife photography adventure, you can combine this trip (some of its dates) with our South African photo safari. Based in the Timbavati, a collection of exclusive private game reserves, this safari offers an incredible Big Five experience and it compliments the photo safari in Botswana in a great way.

If you're joining us in July, you'll stay at Serolo Safari Camp. Sheltered by Mashatu and Apple-leaf trees and only a few hundred meters from the banks of the Limpopo River, Serolo sits right in the heart of the wilderness you journeyed here to photograph. You will spend your nights in a comfortable two-bed safari-style tent, fully serviced with hot running water, en-suite showers, and flush toilets. There are electric fans and lamps in each tent and bedding, towels, and soap are supplied. You’ll enjoy three meals a day with your fellow attendees in the camp’s beautiful open air dining area, which also features a fire pit and a splash pool to help you unwind and cool off after a day of breath-taking wildlife photography under the African sun.
If you're joining us in May 2026, you'll be based at Mohave Bush Camp. Nestled on the banks of the dry Mohave River, this camp offers an exclusive and enchanting wilderness retreat. You'll stay in comfortable en-suite safari tents and an authentic African feel. Mohave is off the grid, but solar power will charge all of our equipment. This camp is exceptionally well-positioned for game viewing, and you’ll enjoy some great photographic opportunities from the comfort of your tent. The communal lapa, splash pool, and fire‑pit create the perfect setting for evenings spent under starlit skies. With dedicated staff catering to our needs, it’s a seamless blend of soulful solitude and true safari spirit.
