About the Tour

There are bucket list experiences and there’s the bucket list experience.

This is the latter.

Quite simply, Zimbabwe is one of the great photography destinations. In this tour, you’ll embark on a privileged journey to four of Zimbabwe’s most pristine and photogenic destinations, and step across the border to witness the power of Victoria Falls. You’ll glide across the rich floodplains of the Mana Pools, explore the majestic Hwange National Park reserve on the hunt for predators and their prey. Proving adventure and comfort aren’t mutually exclusive, you’ll indulge in a selection of luxury camps and experience the true definition of “glamping”.

Most importantly, this exclusive tour has been carefully designed to inspire and transform your passion for photography. Under the expert guidance of master photographer Ignacio Palacios, you’ll capture phenomenal game photos, shoot spectacular sunrises, and venture into the night to photograph the stars and Africa’s hidden nocturnal world. Our Zimbabwe photography tour promises heart-racing adventure, self-discovery, rich creativity and stories that will define your legacy.
