Wild4 African Photo Safaris
At Wild4 Photo Safaris, we organise and host photographic tours to Africa’s most photo productive locations that include, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Rwanda and Namibia. We also design private/custom photo safaris for individuals, couples and small groups, with or without a photographic host/tour leader. Join us on one of our scheduled photo safari departures with a small group of like-minded wildlife photographers, or, allow us to handle all the logistics of your private custom photo tour that suits you, your interests and your most suitable dates for travel.
Due to the limited number of spaces available on our scheduled wildlife photo safaris, we encourage you to contact us as early as possible to secure a place on one of our African photographic tours.
This was my third photographic trip to Africa, and I have to say the best! Stu has great knowledge & passion for wildlife and photography that he is willing to share: I certainly learnt a lot. The setup for photography in the vehicles is extremely well thought out.
There was an amazing variety of great photographic opportunities and I really enjoyed time spent with the animals, but the unexpected bonus for me was the day spent at the reptile centre (part of the extension). I am very pleased with the results!
After coming away with the renewed enthusiasm for photography, I am planning to do another trip with them soon."

On arrival we were treated as part of the family by Stu Porter, his wife Justyna, and parents John and Ann. The conditions for finding and photographing everything from small birds to large game was perfect – a 500mm lens on hire from Stu, a specially equipped vehicle, which was referred to as a hide on wheels ( with only 3 photographers) , a dedicated and professional approach to photography and plenty of time.
We would set off at sunrise, find a group of lions as they were beginning to yawn and stir from sleep, or a pair of saddle-billed storks building a nest, and quietly move our cameras into position. The initial sighting was accompanied by the rapid firing of shutters, but then we would wait as long as necessary in the hope of getting further shots. Stu was very sensitive to our needs and would only make suggestions about the best camera settings if he thought we needed his advice. His awareness of how animals behave was very useful in planning our shots.
Stu’s knowledge of African Wildlife and skill as a wildlife photographer is second to none, and I have learned a lot from his expertise. I am delighted with my photos !!
This was the trip of a lifetime, good accommodation, delicious food and great company. It was altogether a wonderful, challenging and thrilling experience and, if you are looking for a photo safari in Africa, I too recommend you contact Stu Porter at Wild4.
