African Elephant Photography
Few animals reward patience behind a lens quite like the African Elephant, & NaturesLens builds several of its African photography holidays around the chance to capture these animals against some of the continent's most dramatic backdrops. Working alongside experienced guides & fellow photographers, guests are given the time & positioning needed to compose considered images rather than snatched opportunities, whether that means a herd moving through open plains or gathering along a riverbank.
