The word ‘photo’ and ‘safari’ have different and separate meanings but when used together give a traveller a hint as to what one can expect when taking a photographing safari.
Safari is the Swahili word for ‘travel or a journey or expedition’ for either hunting, exploration or viewing animal in their natural environment.
So, we can come to a conclusion and say that a Photo Safari is an adventurous travel or expedition undertaken and bring people closer to the wildlife and get opportunity to write with a light and bringing photographer closer to wildlife.
When you engage yourself in this expeditionary and extraordinary activity, will get a unique chance to create traits so that the images captured express accurately how you see the world to which you are exposed during the activity.
So, what is the difference between a wildlife safari and a photographic safari?
When embarking in a wildlife safari, you will be guided by a wildlife expert. In this kind of Safari, expect to experience Africa’s flora and fauna in a designated area only. No trespassing will be allowed or following the animals.
Normally, in wildlife Safaris, pictures are taken using mobile phones and small cameras and it is less expensive compare to the photographic safaris.
You will have more time to edit your pictures and posts in the bush after completing your photo sessions. This is the best time and opportunity for correcting ‘settings’ and ‘modes’ for the next session in the field.
