Wildlife Photography Photo Tours

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.

Für mich war dies ein sehr bereichernder Anlass. Mir hat die ruhige, geduldige und kompetente Führung sehr gefallen. Wir hatten genügend Zeit und Musse unsere Bilder zu schiessen. Für jedes Kamera oder technisches Problem wurde mir geholfen. Ich habe das Vergnügen, eine Fotoreise nach Kenia mit Amazing Views zu geniessen und habe durch diesen Fototag einen Einblick bekommen, wie die Betreuung und Abwicklung dieser Reise durch diesen Veranstalter von statten geht. Ich bin sehr beruhigt und freue mich riesig auf die bevorstehende Reise.

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!

Hannes Lochner succeeded in alleviating all my concerns about shooting with high ISO values. The result has me thrilled! It was the first time I had ever photographed from hides. What we saw, experienced, and took home with us on our memory cards surpasses everything. Staying overnight in the hides was a special experience. If at all possible, I would like to go on another trip with Hannes soon. His expertise is enormous and his patience seemingly endless. Thank you very much!

Zimanga highly impressed me with its fantastic reserve, the many animals that you can experience up close (especially elephants), and the wonderful lodge with its warm-hearted staff. The hides were a new and fascinating experience, especially the vultures in the morning. And, as always, everything was under the professional and charming leadership of Hannes. The photo trip was excellent and exceeded my expectations.

As usual, a well-organized trip, excellently guided by Hannes Lochner. Magnificent landscapes with stunning color contrasts. On two evenings, we enjoyed an exquisite dinner outdoors under the impressive starry sky. As announced, the nights were very cool, but with appropriate clothing, it was easy to endure the morning game drives and we were able to enjoy many animal and bird sightings.

What a great trip to the bears in Slovenia! We had a fantastic time with great sightings - besides the bears also lots of birds, squirrels, foxes, owls...The small group was ideal - lots of laughter, interesting conversations, great togetherness and enjoyment. A huge thank you to our guide Demian - personable, passionate and always on hand with valuable professional tips. We returned with lots of great photos, but above all with wonderful impressions and unforgettable memories! Many thanks to Demian and the whole Amazing Views team for the top organization - see you next time!
