Photographic Safari
Tswalu is renowned as an excellent location to take photographs throughout the year, regardless of the weather or the season. Many of our guides are knowledgeable photographers in their own right and can advise and pass on their experience when it comes to capturing the beauty and diversity of the southern Kalahari.
PHOTOGRAPHIC VEHICLE
Keen photographers, regardless of their level of skill, will benefit from booking our fully equipped photographic safari vehicle. The modified Land Rover is ideal for one photographer but has enough space for a second guest. A rotating, lockable swivel seat, which allows for an uninterrupted 270-degree arc, is fitted with a stabilising arm and platform for taking sharp, steady images.
