Each year Gary leads trips to Africa and has been to the Dark Continent 49 times since 1990. He has learned when and where the best photographic opportunities are and how to go about getting the best images. Some trips are to Kenya and Tanzania while others are to Botswana. The trips are 13 to 15 days in length and are designed for people interested in photography or serious game viewing. This is not a trip where you sleep in until 8:00 am, have a leisurely breakfast then leave the lodge at 9:00 am like some tours. We are up early and in the field when the light is best - early morning and late afternoon. Groups are a minimum of 6 and maximum of 12 participants (double occupancy accommodations). The price includes domestic airfare, meals and accommodations and all game viewing services including vehicles/drivers, park entry fees. The meals and accommodations are first-class. You pay only for beverages, tips and personal items once you arrive in Africa. While Gary will be actively photographing, he will be there primarily to make sure you get the photos you want along with a memorable experience!
