“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:

“Not only is Patrick an award winning photographer, he is also an experienced and intuitive guide.  On our first drive out from Lion Camp, Patrick spotted spots.  A leopard!  Patrick was not only able to find her in the brush but follow her as she hunted guinea fowl in and around the trees, scrub and tall grass. Patrick maneuvered us into the best position for photos and guided me to take the best shots I have ever taken.  What a fantastic experience and on the first day!  Every day afterward we had great sightings of elephant, kudu, bush buck, hippos, and a pride of lions (aptly called the “Hollywood Lions”) with three adorable and active cubs.  For most of the time we were the only vehicle at a sighting, and it was easy for Patrick to adjust our position for the best photos. 

With Patrick’s patient and skilled instruction I was able to improve my photography 100 percent.  Patrick can instruct photographers of all levels from beginners to the most experienced.  I highly recommend a photographic safari with Patrick and I will be joining him again this year.”
