Transportation & Flights

Local flight included Our Safari Vehicle Seating, You will be travelling in friendly” safari vehicles that accommodate up to 1 to 7 passengers but photographic safari we normal take 2 to 3 passenger. Depend on client’s budget, these vehicles have hatches on the roof and sliding glass windows to take pictures from. They are laid out with two front individual seats and three rows of bench seats. Unlike many overcrowded safari vehicles, we will only have three photographers per vehicle. This means you will have a bench seat all to yourself, where you are free to make yourself at home and spread out your photography gear. As an additional bonus, you will be able to photograph from both sides of the vehicle, so you don’t ever have to worry about missing photographic opportunities because you are on the wrong side!  Note non-photographer spouses or partners have the option (for discount) of sharing your bench seat or riding up front with the driver on game drives. When in the front seat they will certainly see everything and be able to photograph most things out the roof hatch. When sharing a bench seat one person can photograph out the roof hatch and the second can photograph out the lower sliding window.,
