Resident photographer

We have lined up an excellent wildlife photographer for our 2023 high season; Frankie Adamson will be based at Governors’ Camp. She is onsite to lend our guests a helping hand with their camera and offer top tips on capturing the very best of your safari. In terms of how she can provide some extra photographic support, we have put together three options:

Option 1: Photography Safari

The photographer can join you on your game drive and provide personal and in-depth assistance with landscape and wildlife photography.

The photographer will meet with you in camp to go over any questions you may have about your equipment or experience to ensure your time out in the field is maximised. After each game drive you will have an image review and an informal editing session to make sure you go home with a collection of images you are truly proud of. This option does not include any images supplied by the photographer

Cost: $250 per day with the photographer + $400 for an exclusive use vehicle (unless the number in your group already secures the use of a private car).

Option 2: Safari Photos

Sit back and enjoy your game viewing while the photographer takes all the images. The photographer will provide you with a set of up to 30 edited images per day (wildlife only), for personal use (not commercial use). This option does not include any photography advice.

Cost: $250 per day with the photographer + $400 for an exclusive use vehicle (unless the number in your group already secures the use of a private car).

Option 3: Safari photoshoot

The photographer can accompany groups (up to six people) for photoshoots in camp or on game drives. On game drives, the photographer will be positioned in one of the group cars with guests and can photograph other group members in the other cars (if the group is split between cars) throughout the course of the drives. Alternatively, the photographer can take group photos in camp, at breakfast stops and / or sundowners. The photographer will provide a set of up to 30 edited images per day (a mix of wildlife and guests), for personal use. This option does not include any photography advice. For larger groups than six people, please contact us for a quotation.

Cost: $350 per day with the photographer + $400 for an exclusive use vehicle (unless the number in your group already secures the use of a private car).

Things to note:

All images supplied to guests as part of paid for photographic services are for personal use only and will be supplied in JPEG format. Commercial use is not permitted. 

You will need to pay for an exclusive use vehicle if your group size is not automatically allocated one – please discuss this with your sales consultant. Please note that the photographer can only be booked by one group per vehicle (approx 6 guests or less) at a time. If the photographer needs to relocate from his current base (which is generally the Mara), and requires dedicated transport to get him to another location, these transfer rates will be at the direct cost of the client.

If you would like to guarantee some time our photographer to ensure that you make the most of your safari, please contact us for more information.
