Natural Habitat Photo Tours are specialized adventures for photographers of all ability levels. From African photo safaris to polar bear photo tours, Galapagos photography adventures and more, our focus is on helping you capture exceptional images of wildlife and landscapes. Each trip is led by a highly trained naturalist Expedition Leader who is also an accomplished nature photographer, adept at offering personalized guidance. While all our trips feature small groups, our photo tours travel with even fewer guests, to ensure access for the best shots, plenty of room for your gear, and the utmost in flexibility to pursue photo opportunities as they arise. We often rise early and linger till sunset, to capitalize on the best light. If you're looking for a nature adventure that offers exceptional photography opportunities and instruction, choose a Nat Hab Photo Tour.
