Sabi Sabi and MalaMala Wildlife Photography Seminar

Morning flight from OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg to Sabi Sabi's private airstrip followed by check-in at Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp. (Flight time approximately 1 hour). Guests will be welcomed, shown around the camp, and once settled in, enjoy our first lunch together as a group. After lunch, there'll be a briefing on the seminar schedule, shortly after which we will depart for our first afternoon safari in search of all things wild, returning to camp in the early evening for drinks and dinner.

Wake up before sunrise to the morning chorus of birds, perhaps the roar of a lion or the rasping call from a nearby leopard. The morning starts soon after with tea & coffee as the bush awakens and we prepare for another exciting day. Morning game drive departs shortly afterwards, still about 15-20 minutes prior to sunrise.

On arrival back at camp mid-morning, you are greeted by a delicious breakfast, followed by a photographic lecture presented by one of the Wild Eye guides.

**Lecture topic: Photographing wildlife with the aid of a spotlight & editing spotlight images.

After lunch you can take time to siesta or sit with one of the guides should you have any questions. The afternoon safari kicks off around 4pm where we will once again head out on an adventure, continuing into the early evening. We'll enjoy photographing predators and other nocturnal species under spotlight and you'll see behaviour from the big cats not always exhibited during daylight hours.

This particular morning will start as per the previous days with a morning safari at Sabi Sabi. The game drive would likely end earlier than normal, allowing for sufficient time to return to the lodge for breakfast, and for last minute packing. At a time to be determined, representatives from MalaMala will arrive at Sabi Sabi to collect and transfer our group across to MalaMala Main Camp. Drive time approximately 40-45 minutes within the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, so keep your camera gear on hand.
