A typical wild photography Photo Safari in winter will run from 9am to around 5.00pm. In spring we can start earlier, at around 7am, to catch the early birds and to make the most of the light for photography, finishing around 3.00pm

From April - June, we offer a half day option to catch either the morning light, or the evening. Call or message us to discuss your preferences.

Testimonials

Our trips are built on a passion for wildlife, birds, photography and a great deal of hard work, to ensure the best possible experience. Our guests recognise this and we've had some lovely feedback. Here is just one that we received this week after a Somerset Wildlife Safari:

" I love doing photographic trips with Nick and have done three to date; Scotland, Birds of Prey and Somerset. He is a very knowledgeable photographer and keen to share his knowledge in a way that is understandable to his audience. He is also flexible in his approach and not afraid to alter plans if the wildlife isn’t where it was expected to be."
