South African Wildlife Through the Lens

OVERVIEW

Wildspace has sought out the very best wildlife photography opportunities in South Africa and crafted them into a ten-day itinerary. It would not be unusual to be able to capture on film aardvarks at Tswalu, rare wild dogs at Madikwe and all the big cats at Londolozi. The lodges in each reserve are some of the finest in Africa, making this trip popular amongst our guests looking for a higher level of luxury and service.
