Ecuador Birds!

November 15-22

Join us in 2026 for an extravaganza of bird photography. All sizes. More colors than you can imagine. And great conditions for photography. We're talking many species of hummingbirds. More tanagers than you imagined existed. Toucans and toucanets. Cock of the Rock. Woodpeckers. Trogans. Quetzals. Antpittas. Guans. Some birds with really different features like the swordbill and racquettail hummingbirds. Great setups - many where you can establish a tripod position and the birds will come to you. There will be some early mornings but most of the outings are not physically demanding. Small group, by design.

Ecuador Amazon
Descending into the Basin
A Wild Adventure!, 2026

Join us in 2026 as we make an epic journey over a 14,000 foot pass on Ecuador's Continental Divide then down to the very floor of the Amazon Basin. We'll explore a number of ecosystems, finding birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, insects and more to photograph and to learn from. By entering the Amazon from above, we'll "follow the water" as it begins its journey in the high mountains, steep slopes, and deep canyons of the areas east of the divide. By the time we've completed this journey you will have a new understanding of the Amazon Basin, its scope, its fragility, and it's importance to the planet. Your photographs will include sweeping panoramas, gorges, waterfalls, river scenes, jungle scenes, wild birds and other animals, and the macro world. You'll have a deeper understand of the Amazon - and how the planet fits together. And you'll have the images to share that knowledge and inspire others.

Our new Kenya West Photography Safari explores from Samburu on the north down to the Masai Mara in the south. We'll find 3 kinds of giraffes, two kinds of zebras, rhinos (black and white), gerenuks, big cats, hyenas and jackals, outstanding scenery and a wealth of birds - big and little. We'll see a number of ecosystems, brush up agains several cultures, get a great introduction to the Rift Valley, and so much more. And, if you join both this safari and the next, below, we'll cut $1,000 from your fees.

Redesigned for 2027, our Costa Rica Photography Adventure gives you great opportunities for birds, landscapes, waterfalls, frogs, macros and so much more. We put you in several distinct ecosystems, each with their own set of flora and fauna. Three significant "photography by boat" outings provide both riverscapes and wildlife. Birds, caimans, crodociles and several species of monkeys. Then there are the frogs and sloths. And leaf cutter ants. You'll be overwhelmed by the opportunities to design great images on this adventure.

Let's photograph tigers! Join us in India for a custom safari designed to put you in the best places at the best times to photograph tigers. We have built in more time than most tiger safaris - and it's all about time in Kanha, Pench, and Bandhavgarh National Parks. We have arranged to put you two to a vehicle - and to enter the parks at daybreak, just when the tigers are most active. The group will be quite limited in size. Secure your space soon!

Shoebills, Gorillas, Chimps, a wealth of birds and primates, and dramatic scenery all woven into one itinerary. Murchison Falls. So much more!

Join us in Brazil's Pantanal for a wild adventure that features both jaguars and an amazing array of birds, reptiles, and mammals. The Pantanal is the only place in the world where one can reliably find and photograph jaguars - as they are nocturnal hunters everywhere else. The birds here are fantastic - this is one of our favorite places to photograph flying birds (we can help you build your skills). Add in close-up encounters with giant river otters and so much more. Join us for this wild adventure!

Turkey sits at a geographical crossroads, which means that, over history, many cultures have passed through Turkey, each leaving a distinct imprint on the culture and the archaeological record. Let's explore some of the great archaeological wonders - while putting ourselves in great positions make exciting art with cameras. Mosques, Fairy Chimneys, Ephasus, Istanbul, Aphrodisia, Pergamum, Assos and so much more.

The empty cities and quiet temples of the ancient Maya tell us stories of a civilization that flourished and then crashed before Europeans became a force in the New World. Once that civilization collapsed, nature took over, rebuilding forests and wetlands and filling the region with a wealth of flora and fauna. We'll explore, with cameras and a knowledgable Mayan guide, both the remnants of this great civiliazation and the beauty of the natural world that reclaimed this region. We'll come to learn - and to make art from what we find. Prepare to be inspired - and to learn new techniques for managing the photography gear you bring along.

Tanzania Photography Safari

February 20 - March 4

Everything happens at once in Northern Tanzania in late February! It's a lull between the short rains and the long rains. The Great Migration has moved south toward the lush grasses of the Ndutu Region, where they give birth to a million baby wildebeest. Predators gather for the easy prey. This is the season for courtship for small colorful birds. And the new greening of grasses make all the ungulates and elephants happy, energetic, and healthy. It's a great time to make images! We have a great collection of lodgings secured. Please join us.
