WILDLIFE AND TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY

(2 week course)

Home – Wildlife Media Courses

Become a confident, creative wildlife photographer in just 2 weeks – intensive, immersive, and designed for rapid skill-building in the field.

This two-week course offers a focused, high-impact introduction to wildlife photography. You begin in Mossel Bay, South Africa, with core photography training, practical coastal shoots and editing workshops that give you a strong foundation in the technical basics.

At the end of the first week, you will visit Monkeyland and Birds of Eden before travelling to Bellevue Forest Reserve. Here you will spend several immersive days at our exclusive safari camp, photographing wildlife on game drives that includes elephants, lions, giraffes and zebras. Guided sunrise and sunset sessions help you develop your understanding of natural light, animal behaviour and ethical field practice.

Throughout your time in the field, you will receive close mentorship to help you create a set of strong, portfolio-ready images. This streamlined format is designed for photographers who want focused training and meaningful safari experience within a shorter timeframe.

As part of this course, you’ll receive in-depth training in both foundational and advanced aspects of wildlife photography, along with a working knowledge of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

You’ll join our team on a series of field trips, gaining hands-on experience in authentic shooting environments. Our established partnerships with wildlife organisations along the Garden Route offer unique access to real-world scenarios – giving you the opportunity to learn the key principles of photographing wildlife, and how to begin building a sustainable career in the industry.

Each day is divided between focused tutorials with practical fieldwork, guiding you step-by-step as you produce your own wildlife photography portfolio. In addition to your training, you’ll take part in a variety of excursions designed to enrich your storytelling skills and deepen your connection with the environment and local communities.

The course is based at our studio in Mossel Bay, a vibrant coastal town nestled between the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean, around 400 km east of Cape Town. You’ll fly into George Airport, where a member of the team will meet you and provide transport to your accommodation. At the end of the course, you will fly out from Port Elizabeth International Airport. All course-related transport is included.

You’ll stay in comfortable, self-catering dorm-style accommodation located on-site at the studio, creating a seamless and immersive learning environment. Centrally located, the accommodation is just a short walk from beaches, shops, restaurants, and the harbour. Private rooms are available at an additional cost.

While at the private game reserve, you’ll stay at our newly built, exclusive safari camp. The camp offers comfortable dorm-style lodging with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, placing you in the heart of the reserve with direct access to daily game drives – providing a unique opportunity to experience and photograph African wildlife in its natural environment.
