How to get better photos of wildlife on safari

Safari photography is a specialist niche of wildlife photography in Africa and it can be challenging for beginners. With these 15 tips I explain some of my favourite techniques for African safari photography. Including the best lens for safari photography, but also how to approach and photograph wildlife from a vehicle, how to frame shots and choose a background. What to look for in the bush, and how to stay focussed and connected for long periods of time.

😎𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗠𝗘
My name is Will Goodlet. I am a wildlife, landscape and astro photographer working in the African Safari business. I spend my time exploring the dusty roads of Africa with my Land Rover, Basil.
I've been taking photographs for 40 years, first in Hong Kong, where I grew up and later to follow my dreams of a life photographing Africa.
