Wild China Photo Expedition

Whether you're taking the trip of a lifetime or just heading out for a long weekend in nature, you may be keen to capture memorable images of the landscapes and wildlife around you. Photo Expedition Leader Richard de Gouveia shares his tips for creating nature images that captivate and impress. He'll delve into techniques like adjusting shutter speed and mastering aperture, as well as cover composition rules and the significance of eye contact, using photos from his own portfolio of African wildlife like lions, leopards, elephants, gorillas and chimps.

From close-up encounters with pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys to cultural wonders and culinary delights, learn what to expect on our China adventures. Expedition Leader Eddy Savage takes us on a virtual journey into the Minshan Mountains, where we meet plentiful Chinese wildlife, including takin, goral, serow, blue sheep, golden pheasant and red pandas. He also offers a peek at our accommodations and details the differences between our 12-day Wild Side of China nature journey and our 14-day Wild China Photo Expedition, designed for avid photographers of all ability levels.

This fall, we invited our travelers to share their favorite photos they took on Nat Hab trips around the globe in our 2024 Guest Photo Contest! Watch as our contest judges announce the winners in both the Experts' Choice and People's Choice categories. They'll also draw the name of one lucky Peoples' Choice voter who will win either a $500 Visa gift card or a $500 donation to World Wildlife Fund (winner's choice).
