In addition to the safari service C4 offers, they also manage a hide concession that is situated specifically for photography. The hides maximise the photographic potential of the subjects that visit them and have been positioned to consider the angle of the sun, the background - aspects that make for amazing photographs.
The hides are based at Mashatu Game Reserve, Botswana and are world famous with photographers. Many have produced award winning images at these hides, which are popular for unique elephant sightings and its low perspective.
The Matebole Hide is popular for large game and wildlife sightings such as elephant, lion, giraffe and buffalo, while the valley hide has a serene view of a waterhole, where you’ll see antelope, leopard and zebra drink, or elephants splash about to cool off. The Bee-eater hide is aimed at spotting birdlife, so birding enthusiasts are also welcome to sharpen up their skills and take gorgeous images of Africa’s birdlife.
There are photo tutors on hand at the hides, where large numbers of species are sighted every day. You can relax and breathe while you capture the beauty of the natural world, and marvel at your newfound skills, provided to you by C4 Photo safaris.
