Sand Rivers Camp Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania

Sand Rivers is an excellent lodge for keen photographers. Nearby, they have a hide – raised up on stilts, and overlooking a large marshy area where guests can visit and stay alone for a few hours. The permanently wet, marshy area is frequented by a variety of wildlife – often in surprising numbers – from playful elephants and herds of giraffe coming down to drink, to a kaleidoscope of birds looking for food. Even during the rainier months it is a place to get some brilliant shots. - View lodge details

Lagoon Camp Kwando-Linyanti area, Botswana

The 4WD vehicles used by Lagoon Camp are open-roofed as well as open-sided which allows for un-obscured wildlife photography. However, please be aware that when all six guest seats are occupied not everyone will have a 'window' seat. We would therefore recommend a private vehicle and guide for avid photographers as this is a relatively inexpensive addition at Kwando Camps. It also means photographers can dictate the focus of game drives and the time spent at each sighting. - View lodge details

Kwara Camp Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana

Kwara uses unroofed open-sided vehicles for unobstructed wildlife photography. Hiring a private vehicle and guide here is relatively inexpensive and is highly recommended for keen photographers so you can dictate the focus of the game drives and the length of time spent at each sighting. In addition, the boat trip to the heronry at Xobega offers great opportunities for some close-up shots of storks, herons, egrets, ibis and other bird species. - View lodge details

Zarafa Camp Kwando-Linyanti area, Botswana

Zarafa Camp is part owned by the wildlife photographers – Derek & Beverly Joubert – and hence the camp caters particularly well to photographers. Each tent has a Canon D40 digital camera, with 35-135mm and 100-400mm Canon lenses, a backpack, a tripod and memory cards. A computer is available, and guests receive a complementary CD with the images that they took. Serious photographers can also book a private vehicle. - View lodge details

Ibo Island Lodge Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique
Ibo Island is very good choice if you're a keen photographer. The island is very traditional, and there's a range of subjects from people and dhows, to architecture and ruins, not to mention the usual birds, sunsets and 'tropical island'-type shots. The people here are often relaxed about photographs being taken, and the light in the early morning is particularly amazing. - View lodge details

Jao Camp Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana
The Jao Flats are one of the most picturesque areas of the Okavango Delta: here you'll find picture-postcard scenery of endless smooth green floodplains, dotted with photogenic little islands sprouting feathery date palms. So for pictures of the Okavango at its best – combined with some stunning wildlife, and a stylish camp – camps don't come much better than Jao. - View lodge details

Kaingo Camp South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Kaingo Camp has about 6 different hides offering the chance for close and magical wildlife encounters. These are particularly suited for photography and are frequently used by the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and independent film makers and photographers. In addition, each of Kaingo's vehicles are kitted out with bean bags, camera covers and extra camera rests. - View lodge details

Mwamba Bushcamp South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Mwamba Bushcamp takes particularly good care of photographers. The hides here are excellent for getting great shots – and have been used by the BBC's Natural History unit, National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, amongst others. Mwamba's 4WD vehicles never take more than 2 guests per row of seats – and bean bags and camera covers are provided on request. - View lodge details

Eagle's Nest Luderitz, Namibia
The much photographed Namib Feral (wild) horses can often be found grazing beside the B4 road about 20km west of Klein Aus. The stunning scenery of high yellow grass and mountains makes for beautiful photo opportunities – and the location of the viewpoint frequented by the horses makes the photography in the afternoon generally better than it is in the morning. - View lodge details

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch Southern Namibia, Namibia
Around December, January and February – during the rains – this area is covered in a carpet of beautiful yellow 'devils' thorn' flowers. It brings colour and life to the Kalahari, and then it's a lovely time for photographers to shoot the stunning scenery here – and close-up shots of the meerkats can be a real bonus too. - View lodge details
