Our guests will not only learn photography techniques from a professional throughout the tour, but our experts are also here to provide biological information about all the species of wildlife surrounding us. We take pride in our profound knowledge of wildlife and environmental information of which we bring our to guests and we find that sharing our knowledge an important part of each photo tour.
3. RAISING CONSERVATION AWARENESS
We work closely with conservation organisations around Africa to ensure we do our part in protecting the remarkable wildlife that we have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in. Our founders have worked with conservation efforts for many years and we do not ever see this changing. All national parks used during each photo tour benefits from our visits and our funding goes towards the protection of the wildlife within.
4. THE UNTAMED GUARANTEE
The "Untamed Guarantee" promises that our clients will only work with wild animals. All photographs have been taken in a truly wild environment. Keeping nature wild is our goal. Our tours will never visit centres with enclosures or tamed animals in order to get a photograph. Our professionals and local experts are trained to track wild animals in each destination, ensuring our guests an authentic, wild and Untamed experience.
