Wildlife Photography Photo Tours

The European Bison photography workshop was well organized and the animals cooperated. Demian’s expert explanations and Matthias’s insights about the bison were very interesting. We were a small group of five enthusiastic and considerate photographers. It was a truly wonderful workshop and I would definitely consider participating again.

Spending the morning with the European bison alongside Demian and Matthias was a wonderful experience. Not only did I learn a lot about the bison, but the many helpful tips and explanations were also very useful for a beginner like me. In particular, the tips on composition, framing, and camera settings really helped me improve. I highly recommend this course—thanks to Demian and Matthias.

I've been to Botswana many times, but never to the Tuli Block. My expectations were exceeded in terms of wildlife (leopards, lions) and landscape after/during the rainy season. Hannes Lochner, both as a person and as a top-notch professional photographer, was a real asset. He knows an enormous amount about African wildlife, their behavior, and how to creatively capture unique moments. The accommodation, the quality of the food, and the dedication of all the camp staff made our stay completely enjoyable. We would love to return. Thank you, Amazing Views, also for the perfect organization!

This photo trip was a wonderful experience full of pleasant surprises. Every day brought something new and unexpected. Thomas' excellent support made this safari a relaxing vacation experience. We felt well looked after and cared for at all times in what was for us a foreign environment and culture. I would travel with Amazing Views again in a heartbeat.

We have already taken many trips with Amazing Views. The Masai Mara Explorer trip fits seamlessly into the other trips. Top quality, great guides, everything perfectly organized. This was our first trip to Africa on safari and we are completely thrilled. The two lodges were a dream! The highlight was the safari drives, both in the morning and in the late afternoon. The vehicles are ideal for photographers. The guides are extremely experienced in the needs of photographers. They know exactly where the ideal spot is to get the best angle and, above all, the best light to capture the scene perfectly. The trip preparation and on-site tour guide service provided by Thomas was perfect, as always with Amazing Views. Between safari drives, he took a lot of time to edit pictures with us and give us tips, and even if you needed assistance during the drives, he always had the right tips for camera settings.

The three different destinations in Botswana offered me countless opportunities to improve my photography skills. As always with Amazing Views, everything was perfectly organized. James provided excellent support and could answer any question I had about camera settings or image editing. His vast knowledge of animal behavior is not only very helpful from a photographic point of view, but also inspiring in terms of nature and species conservation.

The combination of Daisy Gilardini and Amazing Views is unbeatable in my experience of photography trips. I have take three trips to Svalbard, Norway, with Daisy and Amazing Views. Each trip is unique, depending on the time of year we traveled, but the trips allowed me to capture incredible polar bear and other Arctic wildlife photographs. From beginning to end, the trips were carefully planned and executed. I came away from Svalbard richer in experience, and with Daisy's help, amazing wildlife photos.

It was a fantastic trip. As always with Amazing Views, the trip was very well organized and everything went smoothly. The accommodations left nothing to be desired. The mix of night photography in the hide, helicopter flights over the lakes near the lodge, and game drives in Mara North offered plenty of variety. We were also very lucky and had at least one highlight every day in terms of sightings. To top it all off, we even had a successful cheetah hunt. What more could you want! James is a very competent photo guide and was always on hand to help us with technical problems and advice on settings.

This was a very enriching experience for me. I really appreciated the calm, patient and competent guidance. We had plenty of time and space to take our photos. I received help with every camera or technical issue I encountered. I have the pleasure of booking a photography trip to Kenya with Amazing Views and this photo day gave me insight into how this tour operator handles the planning and execution of the trip. I feel much more reassured and am really looking forward to the upcoming trip.

It was a new experience and a challenge for me to take photos from a hide. To wait for hours, to be quiet, to not be able to move. The great thing was that patience paid off. The bears and their cubs did their best to entertain us—with some spine-tingling moments! The trip was superbly organized, the food was always delicious, and Jenny's helpful, supportive, creative, and lovable nature made the whole week a great success!
