Photography
Wild boars rolling in cold mud, leopards sunbathing on black rocks, the kinetic blur of a scared spotted deer, elephants ambling across from you… it’s a moment destined to be on film, and we make sure you get that perfect shot every time.
The Mahoora Jeep
- Exclusive, comfortable and a specially modified jeep that is designed having the photographer in mind.
- The jeep has 3 lines of elevated seats fitted into an extended body, making height better for that perfect shot as well as providing comfortable leg space for those long waits.
- The fully opened front (not covered by a glass) is a definite advantage with the steel bar on the hood that can hold your bean bag.
- Side bars are placed strategically to not obstruct game view, with the added advantage of fixing your monopod on to it.
- We provide a specialist game driver, with years of safari driving experience, previously booked by numerous world famous photographers.
- We also provide a professional naturalist who will add value to your photography exploits and wildlife tours by spotting the “little details” and tailor the safari based on your preferences.
