Whether you’re trying to capture a lion stalking its prey on a bumpy game drive, or attempting to capture a martial eagle in mid flight on a walking safari, photographing Africa’s riveting wildlife can be a tricky task.

We decided to interview Dave Estment, noted wildlife photographer and videographer, on wildlife photography tips. If you missed Part I of this guest interview with the remarkable Dave Estment, click here.

For Part II of Dave’s interview, see below:

In addition to bringing a camera on safari, we also suggest that our clients bring binoculars. What binoculars would you suggest safari-goers purchase?

Yes, travelers should definitely bring binoculars. You can sit for hours watching wildlife through binoculars, and certainly use them to spot photographic opportunities, which is then the time to pull out the camera gear.

In regards to which binoculars to purchase? In my opinion, there is only one choice in terms of value for money and steady viewing, and that’s the the Canon 10 x 30 IS binoculars. These binoculars are extremely well-priced and knock the socks off the opposing brands with its fantastic image stabilization technology. Money really well spent!

You do a lot of wildlife photography that captures flying birds and high-action predators. What tips do you have for amateur photographers who want to capture the action on safari?

For inexperienced action photographers, there are three most important aspects to successful action photography: correct shutter speed, smooth panning, and focus.

No matter what anyone tells you, if you do not have the focal point of any image perfectly in focus, whether it is just the eye of the subject, or just the hairs on a macro subject, or whether it is the focal point of a wide-angle landscape, it is not a perfect shot. PERIOD! Apart from the other parameters requisite in a great image, if the focus is not exactly there, do not waste your time with it.

In a panned, slow-shutter-release shot of a leopard chasing its prey, or a panned high-speed shot of a raptor to freeze the beauty of its feathers and the finer detail, the focal point must be right. Not the tip of the raptor’s wing if you were actually wanting to focus on the eye, not the bush behind the leopard, when you were actually wanting to focus on it or the prey’s eyes, as this will be totally different from the image you were wanting to portray.

So as a rule of thumb, use the highest shutter speed available as your default setting, make sure you pan with the moving subject smoothly, squeeze the shutter release button off like a sniper firing a rifle, SMOOTHLY, and follow the subject through after releasing the shutter.

Once you begin to master this, you can start experimenting with lower shutter speeds and different techniques. Honestly, this is probably the most difficult skill to master in photography, so practice, practice, practice! It is also the single most important ingredient that will distinguish your work.

Remember, auto focus helps a lot, but it is not the Holy Grail by any stretch of the imagination. The human eye, well trained, is the answer. No question.

This is just a brief intro into the magnificent universe of wildlife photography. It is infinitely complex, and takes a lifetime to master, if ever, but I sincerely hope that this short article helps guide you on a magical safari experience.

Describing Africa to those who’ve never been is nearly impossible. How can you describe a rhythm that inspires and enlightens you? Africa’s radiating energy is something that needs to be experienced to truly understand its power, but I’ll do my best to set the scene.

In our last newsletter, we focused on the visual stimulations that Africa provides to visitors. In this newsletter, we will attempt to describe the riveting sounds of this enchanting continent.

Some of the most moving and powerful sounds to listen to in Africa are the sounds of joy and laughter. Even if you couldn’t see the radiant smiles of the African people, you could still feel their warm hospitality through the tone of their voice and the sound of genuine kindness. From the moment you awake to your early morning game drive, and your remarkable bush dinner to the time you fall asleep, your accommodation staff and safari guides will undoubtedly win over your heart.

Outside of your accommodations, you may decide to take a trip to a local orphanage or school where the sound of children laughing and playing sends tingles of sheer joy down your spine. There is something about the innocence that these children poses and their zest for life that is humbling and truly magnificent. And often, children will put on little musical performances for visitors where all the children sing along and dance to the tune of each other’s cluster of voices.

There are also many traditional African musical performances that shouldn’t be missed while on your trip to Africa. Some accommodations provide live entertainment with traditional dance and song each night, while others provide guests with a farewell song, which is sung by the staff as guests’ depart home or to their next destination.

One of Africa’s most celebrated traditional instruments is the drum. There are various types of drums made throughout Africa, some more popular than others. The most widely used and recognized of the mix is the Djembe drum, which is celebrated for its rich and deep percussion sounds. Made from wood and covered with goatskin, the Djembe is played with bare hands and was first introduced as a dance ritual instrument.

If you’re traveling to a city such as Johannesburg or Cape Town, you’ll find an eclectic music scene pounding through the city centers and hot spots. These areas have been influenced by urbanization and Western culture; therefore, music in the big cities has pop, rap, and other modernized tones and beats.

When you’re immersed into natural surroundings on a walking safari, game drive, mokoro safari, or on the patio of your bush camp, there is nothing more angelic than the melodies of various birds, a distant lion’s roar, or a trumpeting elephant.

And as the sun sets behind the glowing horizon, the sounds continue to fill the air with harmony. As you enjoy a traditional bush dinner on the patio of your accommodations beneath the stars, the warm crackle of the fire, the sound of kerosene lanterns burning, whistling frogs, and light African music create a remarkable acoustic ambiance that uniquely combines nature with culture.

There is almost always a pivotal point in everyone’s life that has piqued curiosity and thirst to explore a country or continent outside the realm of their home and everyday life. And often times, these moments happen while absorbing some form of medium, whether it’s a book, television or radio show, magazine, musical piece, or poem.

And travelers to Africa are no different.

There is often a point in the lives of travelers to Africa when they realize that the desire for discovery has been ignited and untamable. Whether seen through a fictional novel, memoirs of Theodore Roosevelt, the Discovery Channel, or National Geographic, visions of Africa beckon something from within.

The astounding harmony of visual elements within Africa is truly unbelievable. Imagine the spine-tingling sound of the delicate wilderness softly singing in your ears as you lay beneath a sparkle-studded, deep velvety sky. The comfort and elegance of a nature-inspired suite is out of sight yet just a few steps away. This is nature and serenity at its purest.

When the brazen sun delicately creeps above the building-less horizon, a fusion of creamy orange, ruby red, and sunflower yellow casts across Africa’s quiet landscape in an attempt to awaken and nudge the wildlife to begin their day. No artificial color, structure, or vision steps into this pristine scene.

There is no dawn break in the world as vibrant.

As you awake with the wildlife at dawn, you begin your day with visual stimulation on a traditional morning game drive into the bush, canoe safari, walking excursion, or scuba diving adventure. Depending on where you are in Africa, the landscape will be drastically different, but all share one common trait—each region’s residential creatures perfectly complement the natural hues of the earth, adding a jolt of brilliant colors to the landscape.

If you’re visiting the Moremi National Park in Botswana, you’ll witness breathtaking scenery comprised of cracked, red-mud plains and glistening lagoons hidden between the solid trunks of towering, bird-clad baobabs.

For an underwater wonderland, visit Zanzibar’s Mnemba Island to swim alongside over 400 species of fish, vibrant coral reefs, and free roaming dolphins.

And, for an adventure through the wildlife-dense African plains visit the Kalahari Desert in Namibia where you’ll observe a wide range of animals including the Big Five, small reptiles, minute insects, playful Cape fur seals, and vibrant flamingos.

Night drive: Observe some of South Africa’s most interesting wildlife—at dark. During night drives, you’ll see Africa’s nocturnal wildlife and some of the Big Five at their most active. At night, lions and leopards are frequently spotted on the move or hunting.

Ostrich farm: Visit Western Cape’s Little Karoo for a unique tour through one of its many ostrich farms. During these tours, you’ll observe breeding behaviors and witness how ostrich eggs and feathers are crafted into decorative assortments for the home and stylish accessories.

Port Elizabeth: Filled with an array of stunning beaches, nearby golf courses, boardwalk shopping, a casino, water sport activities, and an aquarium, Port Elizabeth creatively combines relaxation with adventure. And at night, the city comes to life with exciting ghost, graveyard, and cell tours.

Quad Biking: South Africa’s rugged, bumpy terrain has made this country synonymous with quad biker’s paradise. Whether you want to ride through the Drakensberg Mountains or the beaches, the bushveld or the Valley of The Elephants, Mpumalanga wetlands or Kruger National Park, you’re guaranteed to find adventure in the varying terrains of South Africa.

Rust en Vrede: This exceptional estate exclusively produces only red wines and is located in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Their wines include 1694 Classification, Syrah 2006 (which has already sold out), Estate 2005, Shiraz 2005, Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, and Merlot 2008. Their bold, full-bodied reds are a treat to anyone’s itinerary and this estate should not be missed. In 2008, the Rust en Vrede estate’s 1694 Classification wine and the Syrah 2006 wine both received the double golden Veritas Award for excellence.

Swim with the penguins: Not as traditional as swimming with the dolphins, swimming with the penguins offers a completely unique experience if you’re looking to get up-close-and-personal with these adorable little creatures. Boulders Beach on the Cape Peninsula is one of the only places in all of Africa where the African penguin lives and it is a highly-rewarding experience to interact with them in their natural environment.  

Tour Table Mountain: Enjoy a panoramic view of Table Mountain as you journey up the rocky mountainside in a rotating cable car. Each cable car has the ability to fully rotate, giving you the opportunity to see 360 degrees around you. On your cable car trip you’ll see stunning gardens, death-defying cliffs, and playful dassies—furry brown creatures that live on the mountain whose closest relatives are the elephants. Because there are 350 routes up the mountain, having a guided tour is highly recommended, as it can be extremely difficult and sometimes dangerous to navigate the mountain on your own.

uKhahlamba-Drakensberg: As the longest, tallest, and largest mountain range in all of South Africa, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg (meaning “Dragon Mountain”) is a must-see natural phenomena. This World Heritage site has one of the largest collections of Sans rock paintings in all of Africa. On the mountain you can also see a wide variety of plant, bird, mammal, and reptile species, and you can experience exciting activities such as hang gliding, hiking, and rock climbing. 

Victoria and Alford Waterfront in Cape Town:  This area is one of the most culturally enriching places to see in Cape Town. With a working harbor, unique seaside culture, five-star restaurants, historical monuments, and world-famous shopping hubs, Victoria and Alford Waterfront has it all.

Walking safari: If you’re looking for an African safari tour that combines an interactive experience with a rich cultural and learning environment, then you’ll want to take part in a walking safari through Kruger National Park, South Africa. On a walking safari, you’ll learn to listen for the distinct callings of South Africa’s wildlife, search for animal markings, and track paths of residential lions and elephants with the invaluable expertise of certified local guides. These highly knowledgeable guides introduce you to the hidden elements of indigenous wildlife that ranges from larger game to intricate wildlife hidden beneath rocks and inside crevasses.

Xhosa People: With a population of around 7 million individuals, the Xhosa people primarily live in the Eastern Cape and are the ancestors of the Nguni, a group that migrated from central and northern Africa to southern Africa. Keeping their traditional culture alive, the Xhosa people provide visitors to the region with a culturally enlightening experience. Watch as they craft exceptional beadwork, perform dance rituals, and speak in the Xhosa language (comprised of clicking sounds).

honeYmoon safari: South Africa is one of the most exceptional places to enjoy a romantic honeymoon safari. With a variety of intimate and luxurious accommodations that provide honeymooners with superior service and care, and a wide spectrum of activities for honeymooners, it’s no wonder South Africa has made a name for itself as the perfect honeymoon destination.

Zulu Traditions: Zulu culture has kept the same traditions passed down from their ancestors including ceremonies, rituals, and old traditions. With the belief that birth, marriage, and death are important times to interact with the ancestors, the Zulu people will sacrifice a variety of items to the ancestors during these moments in life such as home-brewed beer or a slaughtered animal.

When many people think of an African safari, they only envision one type—an adventure in a rugged vehicle, bouncing about the rolling terrain of Africa. This is absolutely true, but there are also several other types of safaris that are just as exhilarating, and shouldn’t be overlooked when planning your trip to Africa. Although a vehicle safari is a must while on your African safari trip, there are plenty of other types of safaris you may not be aware of, that are unique and just as exciting.

Did you ever think there could be five different types of an African safari vacation?

• A game-drive safari or vehicle safari could be considered the most traditional. The thrill of the vehicle’s invigorating speed and ruggedness create a truly authentic safari. Vehicle safaris offer an exceptional view of wild game throughout the area, and allow you to sit back and enjoy the excitement of a lion attacking its prey unravel before your eyes. Most luxurious lodges and camps offer excellent vehicle safaris.
• A walking safari allows you to connect with nature on a whole new level. The movement and feel of this safari is completely opposite to a vehicle safari, as you can feel the ground beneath your feet, and are on a different height level than a vehicle. A walking safari offers the same fantastic game-viewing experience and adventure as a vehicle safari, while offering a different perspective on nature. Zambia’s Luangwa National Park is famous for its exceptional walking safaris.
• A canoe safari boasts a fresh perspective on animal behavior. The rivers and water holes provide a place for animals to bathe, play, and drink from. Watch a hippo charge into the water or a baby elephant play with his mother. In addition to observing animals behaving in a different environment, a canoe safari boasts a large variety of birds and water-dwelling animals, which cannot be seen on any other type of safari. The Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe is the ideal place to enjoy a canoe safari.
• A balloon safari is one of the most interesting safaris there is. This one-of-a-kind safari is truly a unique adventure since riders have a bird’s-eye-view of the land, and can observe nature from a whole new perspective. Game-viewing is spectacular as you glide above the treetops, and soak in the picturesque moments. Enjoy a hot-air balloon safari at Singita Grumeti Reserve in Tanzania, and experience an out-of-this-world escapade.
• A horseback safari is arguably one of the most adventurous safaris there is. Running with a herd of zebra on horseback is an experience that cannot be matched by any other. Feel the adrenaline rush through your veins as you ride along the sprawling hills and observe spectacular creatures and the Big Five at close proximity. Singita Grumeti Reserve in Tanzania now offers horseback safaris for experienced riders.
