5.00I had an amazing time on my photo safari. Zim was a great teacher and was so knowledgeable about photography composition. She helped me with the settings on my camera and showed me how to get the best out of it for the type of photography we were doing. Even though we didn't have the best weather it didn't diminish the experience I had. I took so many photos and got some great shots of the areas we covered.
Wow wow wow

5.00WOW, our tour photographer was Zim, we learnt so much from her, from how to compose our photos for a more interesting and exciting shot to be more adventurous in looking at your subject. Her energy was awesome. If we had more time here would love to do another tour. Zim was the best.
Interesting

5.00Zim engaged us with energy and expertise. Even though I couldn't understand much of what he explained to us why my English wasn't adequate enough, I took some interesting shots home.
