Wildlife Photography Volunteering in South Africa

I have had an absolutely incredible time, the biggest highlight had to be the people I shared the experience with, its true, you do make friends for life! Also I came away feeling way more confident and have wonderful photos I am proud to show my friends and family!

I just had an amazing experience doing the African Wildlife Photography and Conservation Project. During the project you will be based in Dumela lodge. It's a beautiful lodge with a pool, nice places to sit and work on the projects. The project is amazing. I didn't have high expectation about the program and didn't no what to expect, so I just expected the worst. I expected someone who teaches you a little bit about your camera and how to work it and that's it. Instead we got a 4 day fulltime course, with theory and practice. The first week was just amazing and you can already see you photographs improve. In the weeks after the first they also teach how the think creatively and use this creativity while you're editing your photographs. Meanwhile we had the opportunity to go on many drives and to the Kinyonga Reptile center. I can say my photographs have improved by 500% or even more. My experience was amazing. Whenever you have questions you can disturb the staff at any time. If you have a special diet or something else, it doesn't matter. They will make it happen. I would recommend this program.

After four weeks learning about photography, helping with community, conservation and so much more, I can conclude this was the best traveling experience I ever had! Traveling alone was something new for me, now it is something I wil do every year! Thank you African Impact!
