WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

Join us to this exclusive workshop for NPM members!

Wildlife photography is a creative approach to capturing the natural world scene. It is an art form that is concerned with the aesthetic qualities of the ‘wild’ as well as documenting the rapidly changing environment. Wildlife photographers may employ many practical methods and skills of wildlife observation in order to capture the perfect shot as well as maintain a professional, ethical stance that is respectful of the environment and its inhabitants. There is no perfect approach to taking photos of wildlife, but an understanding of photography techniques such as composition, depth-of-field, etc., will help you take your photos to the next level.

There are more than 700 individual animals in the Park. Please note that the collection does not include any carnivores (lions, tigers, etc.). The Nofa Safari Drive Experience will take the visitor closer to these animals than they might expect. Our specially modified safari vehicles will give unobstructed views of our wildlife. The safety of our guests is always our prime consideration. Associated with the Park we have our Visitors Centre.
