Wild Namibia Photo Expedition

Namibia has revolutionized wildlife management. It now has the largest cheetah population in the world, a thriving black rhino population, and a brighter future for its people. Watch this video to see how responsible travel to Namibia has helped make it possible.

Only in Namibia can you experience coastal desert, soaring dunes, and austere gorges, all while tracking some of Africa’s most diverse wildlife. Watch this video to see some of the secluded luxury safari camps and private wildlife preserves visited on our tours.

In Part 1 of her “Artistic Wildlife Photography” series, South Africa Photo Expedition Leader Danielle Carstens explained how to use "high-key" and "low-key" photography techniques to capture wall-worthy photos of African wildlife, from lions and hippos to elephants, giraffes and marabou storks. In this follow-up, she shares advice on shooting animals in silhouette and using slow-shutter photography (including lighting conditions, camera settings and editing techniques) to create unique nature images.

Namibia’s million-acre Palmwag Concession is home to Africa's largest population of free-roaming black rhinos. Although the species has made an inspiring comeback from the brink of extinction, they are still considered critically endangered. Expedition Leader Jimmy Limbo explains how black rhinos and other animals adapt to life in the desert as he shares his experience tracking them in the Palmwag Concession and along the Skeleton Coast. Plus, find out what organizations like Save the Rhino Trust are doing to protect these pachyderms.

From majestic mountains to enormous elephants, we often focus on the "big picture" when it comes to nature photography. But to tell the whole story, you also have to look for the beauty in small things. Photo Expedition Leader Laura Geissinger explains how macro photography can give us a deeper understanding of the natural phenomena we encounter, from the petals of an alpine wildflower to the tiny toes of a tree frog in a tropical rainforest. Get her tips for improving your close-up shots of small subjects, and take a peek at the tiny treasures she’s photographed on Nat Hab trips.
