Photographic Safaris in Zambia, Africa
In days gone by an African safari was usually a hunting experience. Today, the emphasis is still on stalking game, intent on the perfect shot, but with photographic safaris we are more concerned with aperture and shutter speed than prevailing wind direction.
Norman Carr Safaris has been running photographic safaris in Zambia for over 50 years. The equipment used has changed somewhat over the years but our emphasis on attention to detail and getting our guests up close to the animals of the Luangwa Valley has not altered at all.
When in the bush with Norman Carr Safaris you can be confident that you are with some of the best safari guides in Zambia. All of our guides have been trained to be sympathetic to the needs of our guests and most of them are keen photographers themselves.
They understand that for a photographic safari in Zambia to be a success you need more than just good gameviewing, attention must be paid to composition, angle and clarity of light and proximity to subject.
All of our guests are keen to return home with photographic memories of their African safari, but some are more concerned
about the process than others. If photography is of particular interest to you we suggest that you let us know before your arrival so that we can try to match you up with one of our specialist photography guides. You may prefer, by prior arrangement, for us to provide
a private vehicle and guide so that you can call all the shots on your photographic safari without worrying that other guests don't share the same interests.
We will always do what we can at the time but with a little warning we should be able to ensure that your photographic safari in Zambia is as productive and successful as possible.
