Comment “SAFARI” to get more info! 💚

The Photography Project is a two week photographic conservation experience on a 3,500 acre private game reserve where your subjects are lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffe, zebra, and some of the most spectacular birds and landscapes you’ve ever seen…

Not zoo animals. Not a safari where you sit in a vehicle and point your phone at something in the distance. The real thing, up close, with time to actually get the shot 📸

Every day looks different. Sunrise bird photography before breakfast. Elephant encounters in the afternoon. Editing workshops with Lightroom and Photoshop in the afternoon.Night photography, astro shooting, action shots during horse riding and polocrosse, rhino conservation photography, lion enrichment sessions. By the time you leave, you won’t just have memories. You’ll have a portfolio.

And the best bit? It doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a camera properly in your life or if you’ve been shooting for years and want to push yourself further. This project is built for both!

Two weeks. Full meals and accommodation included. From only £1,432.

Don’t be sad you missed out! 💚

Today, South Africa celebrates Women’s Day

But for us, it’s also a reminder that gender equality isn’t something we should only talk about once a year!

On 9 August 1956, more than 20,000 women stood together and marched for equality. Their courage became part of the history of South Africa, and their message still matters today!

So this Women’s Day, we want to put the spotlight on a project that we probably haven’t shown enough love.

Our Gender Equality Project in Livingstone, Zambia.

Here, you work alongside local communities and young people, helping facilitate sessions around confidence, education, health, safety, leadership and positive relationships.

It’s about creating spaces where girls feel heard, valued and confident in their futures, while also bringing boys into conversations around respect, fairness and healthy relationships.

And yes, you get to experience Zambia along the way! 🤩

You’ll live in Livingstone, have three meals a day, and spend your weekends exploring one of the most incredible parts of Africa, including the opportunity to visit Victoria Falls 🥳

Projects start from £1,802 for 2 weeks, with opportunities to stay for up to 12 weeks!

Maybe this is the kind of trip that means a little more than simply visiting somewhere new.

Want to know exactly what you’ll be doing and what’s included?

Comment “ZAMBIA” below and we’ll send you the details.

Happy Women’s Day, South Africa.

Here’s to the women who came before us, the women making change today, and the girls who will shape what comes next! 💚💚

This is not just Zanzibar, it’s Zanzibar and Make A Difference! Go MAD as we like to say… 😂

Have you ever wanted to explore some of the most pristine beach destinations on Earth, all while contributing positively towards the ocean and the local community?
Well here is your chance! 🤩

Our Zanzibar Marine conservation project is a hands-on ocean-based experience in the South East part of the island. With some of the bluest most pristine beaches on Earth with the opportunity to contribute towards marine life conservation 🐠🐬🐳

Do you agree? Earth is beautiful and we need to showcase it more! 🌍💚

We’re surrounded by more AI generated content than ever before. It’s impressive, creative, and it’s here to stay!

But sometimes it’s nice to pause and remember that the real world still creates the most incredible moments

No prompts. No rendering. No filters that can recreate the feeling of standing in the wild, hearing the sounds of nature, or watching a sunrise you know no one else will experience in quite the same way 💚

This is your reminder that the world is still full of real beauty. Go outside. Explore somewhere new. Support conservation. Make memories that don’t need to be generated!!

Nature will always be the greatest creator 🌍💚
