Testimonials from previous participants
“Watching & learning from a Master Photographer at work was both exhilarating and inspiring.
William provided me with a masterclass on Fine Art Nature Photography.
I am so very grateful to him for his teaching abilities.
He shared his knowledge with panache & generosity.
I am forever grateful”

It’s no doubt a costly trip but it’s worth every penny . If you are still considering , don’t think , just go and I guarantee that you will never regret.
The drivers are fantastic. They understand the photographer’s requirements & couple with their knowledge of wildlife behaviour, we are able to get many great shots.
William, on the other hand, has an eye for scene that invoke “feeling” . He can see and feel the scene which I can’t . I definitely learn a lot from him. Overall , Great accommodation, great food , great company and lots of laughters. It’s once in a lifetime experience & a top notch 5 star trip !

Dear William
Thank you for a truly incredible photo trip to Masai Mara in Kenya. This trip exceeded all my expectations
Every game drive brought new positive experiences. Soon, we ran out of superlatives to describe our joy and emotions. And to top it all, you were always there (physically or within a shout away) with simple yet profound tips to take better photos.
Every day brings a new high.
Seeing wild animals in their natural habitat is more than spectacular. But having an award winning pro photographer around in this setting to help improve my photography skills is beyond my wildest dreams
My only regret was that this trip had to end. I’d seen so much and yet there’s still so much more to see. Perhaps that means I have to come back. With you in the lead, of course

Hi William,
Am basically very interested to participate in this photographic tour and will like to know the total costs including airfare. Understood Qatar Airways is the cheapest to get there.
Have recently got into photography on a more serious note and had gone to Bhutan recently in Sept. for the festivals and just two weeks ago in jiuzhaigou, Huanlong & Chengdu.
Appreciate some further details.
