Safari testimonial
March 25, 2010
Xavier Ortega recently sent me a testimonial with some fabulous photographs that he took on a safari with me last year at Lion Camp. Here it is.
“After carrying out wildlife photo safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia and Botswana I wanted to know South Luangwa in Zambia and thanks to Patrick has been the best safari. He is an excellent and very experienced guide who knows the place very well. He is able to interpret the sounds of the forest to find the animals.
Thanks to Patrick I improved a lot in my photographs. We were alone with the animals and Patrick always placed us in the best position. Lion Camp is a magical place with plenty of animals. Night drives were a very good experience with many sightings of leopards. It is also a paradise for birds. I realize a dream, taking photos from an aircraft, following the animals from the air, this adds to the safari a plus of emotion. The lodge is super and very intimate. Every night we look at the pictures and talk about photography and wildlife.
I highly recommend a photographic safari with Patrick and I will be joining him again on my next safari in 2011.”
Here are just a few of the images that Xavier took on his safari last year:

Photographic safaris announcement!
September 5, 2008
I have had several enquiries recently about whether or not I lead safaris aimed specifically at wildlife photographers. This led me into looking at the possibility of running these and the response I have received has been great – so starting in November this year I will be leading my own photographic safaris. So far I have three safaris scheduled – the first will be in the Lower Zambezi National Park this year and the second and third here in the South Luangwa next year. I hope to do more each year – possibly in the other parks of Zambia such as the Kafue National Park.
So if you are a wildlife photographer interested in joining me on safari or simply want to find out more, please click here. They will provide an opportunity for some wonderful photography and promise to be great fun as well.
