ELANA ERASMUS

Embracing Jay Maisel’s philosophy, “If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you,” I, Elana Erasmus, have dedicated myself to wildlife, landscapes, macro, and sports photography. Join me on a journey of challenges, diverse species, and evolving technology as we capture the beauty of nature through my lens.

NEAL COOPER

As a nature and wildlife photographer with a passion for bird photography, I, Neal Cooper, invite you to experience the grace and freedom of birds in flight. With over two decades of experience and recognition in international competitions, join me on photography tours to captivating destinations like the Maasai Mara and Chobe.

NICO PRETORIUS

From being one of the youngest Nikon Professional Services Members globally to embracing nature and wildlife photography as tour leader and office manager at CNP Safaris. Join me on a journey where every click of the shutter reveals an image, a story, and a connection to the beauty surrounding us.

PETRI NIENABER

Join me on a journey fuelled by a deep-rooted love for nature, a testament to my unwavering dedication, expertise, and a profound connection with the natural world. My photography not only captures moments in time but also narrates stories that evoke emotions, inspire conservation, and foster a deeper appreciation for Africa’s wildlife.

MONIQUE BLOFIELD

As someone who is deeply passionate about capturing the beauty of nature, I find that the words of Antonio Gaudi, a renowned architect from Barcelona, perfectly encapsulate my feelings: “Nothing is art if it does not come from nature.” I invite you to join me on one of our safaris and experience the magnificent and diverse scenes that Africa has to offer.

WENZEL KOTZE

Captivated by the intricate dance of wildlife, I specialise in capturing animal behaviour and species interaction. With my trusted Nikon D4 & D850 and a Tamron 150-600 lens, 12-24mm, and more, join me on a photographic adventure to Botswana and the Greater Mara. Experience the art of photography and the wild like never before.
