esoxlucius20lb2024-05-28Verified Fantastic photo opportunities CNP Safaris have been superb. This is the second time we've been on the specially designed camera boat. each photographer given their own 360 degree swivel chair with for larger lenses. Everyone extremely professional. Both the guide and the boat driver didn't miss an opportunity. Neal the guide, made sure the boat was perfectly positioned for the right light. Some of the best photos I've ever taken. Mick Parmenter2024-05-28Verified A Photographers Paradise I thoroughly enjoyed my Photo Safari . 6 days of full on photography in a beautiful setting. Our leader Neal was very professional and our guide and helmsman Senior did an excellent job. The Staff at the Chobe Bush lodge were helpful and friendly. The food was very good. I was expecting to be staying at the Chobe Safari lodge where I had stayed on a previous visit. This change of accommodation was due to renovations being carried out. I must say I preferred the riverside location to the one we stayed in this time. It is highly likely I will return. Neal C2024-04-17Verified Chobe in April '24 We had fantastic sightings on the Chobe River again. The new rooms at Chobe Safari Lodge are beautiful and comfortable. Word Sculptress2019-12-27Verified Luxury and Safety in the Midst of Raw Beauty I joined CNP Safaris, Elana Erasmus, and Muhamed in the Greater Serengeti in Tanzania in March 2018. (The system forces me to put in a wrong date below.) What a beautiful adventure! Our camp consisted of a series of huge tents, stewarded by an exceptional staff of guides, cooks, and caregivers. My own tent contained a king bed, chairs, chest of drawers, couch, clothes storage, sink, flush toilet, and enclosed outdoor shower. I was picked up at Serengeti Ndutu Airport by a CNP Guide and given the option of driving to base camp either the fast way or the scenic way. Of course, I chose the scenic way. I might never again have this opportunity. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the team of cooks, stewards, and guides, singing a robust welcome. The food was exceptional. In the evenings, we sat outside around a fire, looking at the stars, and sharing wine and stories about the day's adventures. Yes, the Serengeti is raw and beautiful, with so many analogies to the human world. We saw lion, cheetah, dik dik, bustard, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, ostrich, blacksmith lapwing, hyena, flamingo, African wild cat, owl, silver-backed jackal, acacia trees blanketed in fog, and so much more - a lion courting a lioness, hyenas fighting over a carcass, the spectacular wildebeest migration, a young zebra lost from its mother and herd, courageously awaiting its fate alone, a zebra herd, standing in poignant formation and alert awareness, watching every move of a nearby lion, buzzards picking at bones, a lion supping on the carcass of a baby wildebeest. Just an amazing experience with a highly knowledgeable and caring support team. Highly recommended! Jacques S2019-12-20Verified A memorable experience of quality and class. CNP has a vast track record of delivering world-class trips into the wild for game-viewing, photography or simply enjoying five-star relaxation in Nature's finest environments. Apart from their expertise in the choice of destinations, animal behaviour and professional photographic tuition, their concern and caring for their customers is legendary. Our trip with CNP to the Samara Game reserve in the Easter Cape once more confirmed the exceptional standards of the organisation and the services CNP provides. Donna K2019-12-16Verified Beyond our wildest expectations My husband was turning 60 and wanted to celebrate this milestone with a safari in Africa. Two of our twenty-something sons joined us. It was a trip beyond our wildest expectations. Lou & Veronica are gracious, talented, inspiring hosts who know what they are showing you and are able to teach even the beginner how to use a professional camera with great rewards and results. We visited Masi Mara in Kenya, a quick one night stop in Victoria Falls, time along the Chobe River in Botswana and then in South Africa at the Samaroo Lodge. All unique experiences. And we come back to Canada with vivid memories and a passion for photography. hennieblignaut20192019-12-12Verified Samara - A Photographic Journey Samara Private Game Reserve - walking with Cheetahs, great photographic opportunities, mingling with like-minded people, the most stunning natural landscapes...this is a bucket list experience! Couple this with an excellent photographic guide and mentor, Lou Coetzer from CNP Safaris, who is a world class wildlife photographer, it becomes a learning opportinity of note. Each and every moment becomes a photographic journey. Who knew doing close up intimate shots of cheetahs in their natural environment could be coupled with landscape photography and still be adrenalin filled? This trip was the complete package of enjoyment and learning with absolutely great accommodation in the Manor House.
