Wildlife Photography Course Highlights
Where will I sleep?
The Photography workshop will be held at Galago Camp, which is situated in Djuma Game Reserve (part of the Sabi Sands). Accommodation is in five colonial-style bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, with all meals included. Galago has expansive views of the bushveld including scattered waterholes.
The big-game hunters' term 'the big five' refers to the five most famous of the great African mammals: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. These are regularly sighted at Djuma Game Reserve. However, there is much more to the African savannah than the big five. All the plains mammals are to be found at Djuma Game Reserve, whose ecosystem is largely unaffected. Djuma Game Reserve offers more than three hundred species of birds.
How do I get there and travel around?
Please note all transportation to and from the camp is for your own arrangement. Your booking agent will be able to assist you further with directions and advice on this.
When does it start and how long can I go for?
The course is 5 days long and available course dates for the Wildlife Photography Course 2010 are 23 - 27 July 2010.

Do I need experience, is there orientation?
A qualified instructor will brief you upon arrival.
And support?
Throughout your course, you will have the full support and guidance of our coordinators and professional guides, who will provide you with competent 24-hour field support and assistance.
Anything extra I need to know?
A typical daily programme at the camp follows a routine of rising early, usually before sunrise, enjoying hot coffee and biscuits while you listen to the bush waking up and then leaving the camp for the morning drive and photography session in the wilderness.
You will get back to the camp at about 11am, ready for a hearty brunch. After brunch, Lex - your instructor, will present a lecture on the topic of the day. Thereafter you will be free to have an afternoon siesta; practice your newly learnt knowledge and techniques or simply relax and absorb the nature around you. At about 3pm, afternoon tea and eats are served before you head out on the afternoon drive for another photo workshop session in the wilderness.
After dinner, there will be time around the camp fire for informal discussions on the day’s photographic events.
