Cultural Photography Tours & Trips in Africa

Head out on morning and afternoon game drives through Hwange, Chobe, and Kruger National Parks, where your guide helps you snap photos of elephants at watering holes and lions during golden hour. You'll get multiple angles of Victoria Falls' mist, then photograph the Cape Peninsula's coastline near Hout Bay.

Track endangered rhinos on foot through UNESCO-listed Matobo Hills with trackers who'll point out fresh tracks and broken branches. You'll also see rock formations at Bourke's Luck Potholes and get panoramic views from Three Rondavels over Blyde River Canyon, then spend full days in Kruger National Park.

Photograph the UNESCO-listed Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou's ancient kasbahs through your lens, then catch Merzouga's golden dunes at sunset from Aiour Luxury Camp. Travel through the green Ziz Valley's palm oases and photograph wild Barbary apes in Azrou's Seder forest. Document the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the blue streets of Chefchaouen for your cultural photography collection.

See the UNESCO-listed Twyfelfontein rock engravings where ancient Bushmen art is etched into red sandstone, then photograph Himba women in traditional ochre-covered attire at Opuwo villages. Document the abandoned diamond-rush architecture of Kolmanskop ghost town where desert sand spills through colorful colonial buildings, and frame the drop of Epupa Falls cascading along the Kunene River against baobab trees.

This 7-day Machame Route trek takes you through Africa's landscapes, starting at Machame Gate (1,800m) where you'll walk through rainforests and set up camp at sites like Shira Camp (3,840m) and Barranco Camp (3,950m). You'll reach Uhuru Peak at 5,895m for sunrise, with two nights at Kili Base hotel in Moshi.
