Available Place on Okavango Delta Photo Safari Tour!

Could you imagine yourself wearing a safari suit, swinging off an open-top jeep with your camera hanging around your neck in Africa?  If you drifted off to dreamland for a second there this opportunity might be for you!!!!  Read on to find out more about this exciting tour being lead by Denis Glennon..........

Due to a Change of Plans One Place Has Unexpectedly Become Available

This photo safari filled up as soon as it was announced.

There are only sixteen places available, inclusive of three professional photographers/tour leaders.

One person has just informed me he has instead decided  to join an Antarctic Expedition to Macquarie Island occurring at the same time.

Thus, we have one place available for a male photographer on a "shared accommodation" basis.

My guess is, it will fill quickly.

When you open the link you will find towards the bottom of the page, other links to three seperate pieces of additional information, namely:

• Registration Form

These three documents provide all of the information you should require to decide if this photo safari is suitable for you.
