- It's always been a dream of ours to go on a wildlife safari in Botswana and this year we finally made it happen! During our two months exploring Africa we visited Pangolin Photo Safaris in the Chobe National Park, known to be the best safari for photographers on the continent, with the sole focus being to improve our wildlife photography.
For 5 nights we hung out at Pangolin and teamed up with some of their world class, award-winning photo hosts who acted as our mentors to teach us how to get creative and really take our photos of animals to the next level. We went out on two safaris a day, either a game drive or a river cruise on Pangolin's custom photography boats, and spend hours observing and photographing wildlife. The end result was we learnt more about wildlife photography in that short time than our entire career as professional photographers.
In this video we showcase exactly what it's like to go on a photo safari in Botswana, and also give a bit of an inside look at a personal Pangolin Photo Safaris review based on our time there. We share our own images captured on safari, as well as wildlife photography tips from the Pangolin photo hosts.
Thank you to Guts, Toby, Janine, Jaco, Dan, Sara, Pusetso and the entire Pangolin staff for making us feel at home and helping us improve our African safari photography. If you're wondering whether it's worth doing a wildlife photography safari with Pangolin in Chobe National Park, Botswana, we're sure this video will help you make the right decision.

Nailed it again guys! The hippo's were crazy. Loved those photo's 🤙
Thanks so much mate! Yep the hippos are bonkers haha.
What a fantastic video! Pangolin looks like an amazing place. How totally fun to see all the animals! All are beautiful, but seeing the elephants in their groups were just stunning. You definately got some great shots.❤
Thanks very much Debra! It is a fantastic lodge, and the animals were so beautiful. Definitely agree on the big herds of elephants. Just majestic.
Your shots are AMAZING! loved this video!! What an incredible experience, community & place!
Aww thanks so much Jorjie! It was a pretty special trip.
Really good to see this - I am going to Pangolin in three weeks. I was excited before your video…. Now I’m a little bit dizzy with excitement!
Thanks so much for watching! You're going to absolutely love Pangolin. Say hi to the team there for us :)
Omg this looks unreal! Amazing guys 😍😍😍😍
Thanks so much Monica! It's a pretty incredible place.
Awesome, lucky guys you. I was photo hosting together with Jaco last September at Pangolin Photo Safaris. I would consider myself to be a decent guide for this region, but his animal and animal behaviour knowledge was out of this world - he's a lexicon on foot, especially when it comes to the birdlife of southern Africa. We had so much fun as a team and of course with our guests, it was incredible ..... so glad you liked it there and spread the message 🤗 Cool!
My group visited Pangolin last August. It was the trip of a lifetime. So glad you enjoyed it. We spent 4 days going between the land and riverboat and took one day to see Victoria Falls. Saw almost everything Africa has to offer except those sneaky leopards. Got to see 12 lions take down a Kudu and devour it, not for the faint of heart. The Hotel, Staff and Food were out of this world good. Thanks for your video.
Loved seeing this from a customer's perspective. I just got into wildlife photography and their channel has been a great resource. I'm definitely putting this on my bucket list after I've got more experience to get the most out of it. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed the video a lot, the folks behind this particular safari video, Alesha and Jarryd, the folks at Pangolin, the photography and, of course, the amazing animals. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. And a shout out to a guy named, "Guts." Cheers from California. Todd
So so SO stocked that you made it to Africa!!! Incredible right 😀
So incredible. We want to come back ever year❤️😀🦒🦓🐘🐆

Came here from the blogs! Nature's great and so is this video hahahah
Thanks so much for coming on over Muhammad! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Wow 😮 what an experience guys 🥹
I am very interested in using Canon super telephoto lenses for our R5 and R7 cameras. How do we arrange this?
So great to see this video I’ve been thinking of going and it’s cemented this decision
Amazing video! I need to do this one day!
Thanks! Great video.
I'll be with Pangolin next September so I found the video very helpful and it certainly whet my appetite. I noticed that your longest lens was 100-400mm. Would a 200-600mm been helpful? The 200-600 weighs quite a bit more and weigh seems to be a big factor particularly for hand-carried bags. Also what month did you visit?
Thanks for your help.
What time of year were you at Pangolin on the Chobe? Thanks!
