Adjacent to Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand and Timbavati, Manyeleti is absolutely one of the best private reserves in South Africa, where you’ll be able to experience an authentic and wild safari, searching for the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and buffalos.

With an extension of 22.000 hectares, Manyeleti Game Reserve, also called the “place of stars”, offers the possibility to all the participants to experience a one of a kind photographic trip.

In this photographic trip to Manyeleti, the whole camp will be available exclusively for the use of the group, along with a private jeep for the photographers.

Besides being known for the Big Five, Manyeleti is famous in the entire world due to the presence of the rare black rhinocero and its generous avifauna, which counts more than 300 species of birds present in its natural habitat.

The 12 safari activities offer all photographers the opportunity to experience and immortalize the fascinating wildlife of Manyeleti, ensuring a unique and a once in a lifetime experience.

During high profile photographic trips, we always offer our customers the best facilities to make sure they live a totally exclusive experience with the best comforts.

Within Manyeleti we use two camps which are built in the exact same way, but positioned in two totally different areas.

Our organization will chose the best camp to offer its partecipants according to the movement of herds of animals and based on the season of the trip.

Both camps have been recently renovated and offer an authentic bush experience, combining the comfort and exclusivity of only five tends with private facilities, a small private porch, protected by a thatched roof.

The camps lack fences and electricity which can only be found in a spot of the camp in order to charge the photographic equipment, powered by solar panels.

During the night it is possible to admire the amazing starry sky.

For us, taking part in a real photographic trip to Africa means living the essence of this wild land, leaving a permanent mark in the hearts and in the photographic memories of all our participants.

During safaris, we have always collaborated with the same guides and trackers. In this way the team, along with a professional photographer, gives all its participants the chance to make the most of every photographic situation.

Taking part in a photographic trip alongside an experienced professional photographer will allow you to:

Visit private reserves that have been tried and tested over the years by our photographers and guides, identify and follow the best photographic scenes during the safaris, thus offering all participants the opportunity to take pictures from the best perspective. Having a professional photographer for the whole length of the trip will allow you to take advantage of the best lights of the day, and receive useful advices and suggestions based on your needs.
