The challenge. Shooting a bright white bird by still capturing the feathers and pink plumage. In manual, Guts shows us how to use shutter speed, composition, managing your focal point, being aware of your background and introduces us to a new technique, 'Border Patrol'.

Pangolin Photo Safaris operates in the Chobe, Northern Botswana throughout the year.

In our opinion, The Chobe National Park is the best year round wildlife photography destination in Africa – and that’s why we are based here.

The Chobe is home to an incredibly dense population of African Fish Eagles. Most breeding Fish Eagle pairs will have two chicks at a time and with the large amount of Barbel (catfish) in the river fishing takes up less of the day. Thus both chicks tend to survive and the population grows exponentially. 

All our game activities – on the Chobe River and on land within The Chobe National Park are hosted by the Pangolin Photo Hosts who feature in these films.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or absolute beginner, everyone is welcome at Pangolin Photo Safaris.

Born and raised in Germany, Sabine Stols used to be quite the city girl. All that changed when Sabine took a summer job on a cruise vessel where she met her South African husband Charl. Travelling the world together for several years as a photography and videography team they both fell in love with the diversity and richness of nature.

Being most passionate about wildlife photography, they spent most of their vacation in the National Parks of South Africa. Lucky for them, the passion became a dream job in 2015 when they were offered positions as photographic hosts by Pangolin Photo Safaris.

Based in Kasane, Botswana they now guide anyone enthusiastic about photography and nature on photographic safaris and workshops in Chobe National Park and other wild places of Africa.

Sabine is using a Canon 1Dx MK II with a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II lens.
