Wildlife Photography Tours
Photographic expeditions led by professional nature photographers — to the world's most iconic wildernesses
See all wildlife photo toursWhat is a wildlife photography tour?
A wildlife photography tour is more than an ordinary holiday — it's a photographic expedition led by experienced nature photographers who know exactly where, when and how to capture the best images. At Focus Photo Tours, every trip is planned around light conditions, animal activity and season to maximise your photographic opportunities.
Unlike a standard safari or nature trip, the schedule on a wildlife photography tour is tailored to the photographer's needs. That means early mornings in the golden hour, long sessions at waterholes and hides, and the flexibility to stay when something extraordinary happens in front of your lens.
We offer wildlife photography tours to the most iconic nature photography destinations in the world — from photo safaris in African savannas to owl photography in Scandinavian forests, from bear photography in Finland to wildlife photography in Canada's old-growth forests. Whatever the destination, all our tours share the same philosophy: uncompromising image quality, deep nature experience, and personal photographic guidance.
Why choose a wildlife photography tour with Focus?
Expert photo guides
All our guides are professional nature photographers with deep knowledge of animal behaviour, light conditions and photographic technique. They know where the animals are — and how to help you photograph them at their best.
Small groups
We keep groups small, max 8–10 participants, to ensure every photographer receives personal guidance and access to the best positions. No crowded vehicles or competing for space.
Photographer-focused schedule
The entire trip is planned around light and animal activity — not tourist convenience. Early mornings, late evenings and long sessions at the perfect photographic moment.
Hand-picked destinations
Every destination is selected for its unique potential as a nature photography location: species diversity, photographic accessibility, and the opportunity to capture world-class images.

What our photographers say
“This is not a trip for the tourist — it's a trip for the photographer. Every day was planned to maximise photographic opportunities, and the guide knew exactly where the leopard would appear in the golden morning light.”
“I've never photographed bears at such close range with such calm and control. The photo guide taught me things about light and composition that I could never have learned on my own.”
About wildlife photography tours — everything you need to know
Wildlife photography tours span a broad spectrum of experiences and destinations. A photo safari in Africa offers the opportunity to photograph the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo — in their natural habitat. Popular destinations for African wildlife photography include the Maasai Mara in Kenya, Kruger National Park in South Africa, and Botswana's Okavango Delta.
In Europe, Scandinavia offers unique opportunities for nature photography. Finland is renowned for its bear photography — from professional hides near the Russian border you can photograph brown bears at close range. Norway and Sweden offer bird hides for photographing owls, tits and raptors. Nature photography tours in Scandinavia often combine wildlife photography with dramatic landscapes and the midnight sun.
For those wanting to photograph wild cats, South America is the natural choice. The Pantanal in Brazil is the world's best place to photograph jaguar — highly photogenic and surprisingly accessible by boat along the rivers. Other popular wildlife photography destinations in South America include the Galápagos Islands and Peru's Amazon.
Equipment for wildlife photography tours varies by destination, but a telephoto lens of at least 500mm is recommended for animal photography. Many guides can advise on suitable equipment for your specific trip. The key is that your gear doesn't limit your photographic opportunities — on a wildlife photography tour, you want to be ready for the unexpected.
