Senior Photographer
by: Steve BredthauerProgram: Wildlife Photography Internship in Greater KrugerI greatly enjoyed my time as a photographer with African Impact. There were numerous morning, afternoon, and evening game drives that gave me ample opportunities for wildlife and bird photography. There was also chances with the research team for camera traps and conservation efforts. Free time on weekends allowed me to make trips to Kruger National Park. This program is highly recommended.
Great place for African wildlife photography
by: Linda HermansProgram: Wildlife Photography Internship in Greater KrugerI came to the program because I wanted to build a wildlife photography portfolio and learn from a professional photographer who has experience in the field about working with clients and getting into the industry. From a portfolio building perspective, the photography opportunities were fantastic and plentiful. The guides are so knowledgeable and always pointed out animals and birds, educating us along the way too. From a photography leaning perspective, I didn’t feel that the tuition was what I expected. The presentations were pretty basic and there was very little guidance and instruction on drives. The photography coordinator didn’t have much experience working with clients on photography projects so I wasn’t able to ask the questions I really came here looking for answers to. We did participate in some conservation activities but I would have loved to be more involved with the research team and document more of the wildlife conservation activities. This is the direction i want to go in with my photography and is another reason why I picked this program. So it was a shame that there were not more opportunities to work together and shoot different things than just go on game drives every day. The lodge and accommodation was great, the food was great and additional activities also great and very well organised.
Great opportunity to photograph African wildlife
by: LindaProgram: Wildlife Photography Internship in Greater KrugerThis is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in African wildlife to photograph a huge variety of animals and learn more about them from experienced guides. As an experienced photographer, I didn’t find the tuition and presentations that useful as they were quite basic and more aimed towards beginners, so I used my own initiative to set myself mini projects and goals during my time on the program. I was impressed with the number of game drives we went on weekly, though we often went to the same places as one of the reserves was closed for most of my stay, making the drives repetitive at times. The camp and accommodation is beautiful and I really enjoyed my stay thanks to the staff and the other volunteers who I shared the program with.
