Our African Photo Safaris

Stunning Photos

The unique photographic hides of Derek’s own design are a special feature of Shenton Safaris. These hides are constructed with photography in mind and are guaranteed to get you close enough to the wildlife to take a whole host of stunning photos – in complete safety.

Wildlife Photographers

Our hides have certainly turned the heads of the professionals. We have been visited by world renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting of National Geographic multiple times. This year Frans Lanting and National Geographic returned for a month, canceling all other camps in the valley to extend their stay with us again and again. Other wildlife photographers to have visited our camps recently include Owen Prumm of Discovery Channel, David Rogers of Africa Geographic, Lyn Johnsson of National Geographic and independent film maker Peter Lamberti (Valley of the Golden Baboon).

The BBC used our hippo hide in the making of the Wild Africa Series where they filmed an enormous crocodile taking a buffalo as it came down to the river to drink, right in front of the hippo hide.

We will be featuring in both National Geographic and National Geograpahic Traveller magazines this year; both articles are due out towards the end of 2006.
