Local guiding expertise and photographic support on every drive. A private camp, with a hospitality team looking after you.

The photography.

The photography.

Knowing where an animal will be, and knowing how to photograph it when it gets there. Your guide has spent a lifetime on the first. I spend mine on the second, thinking about the picture before we arrive.

The safari.

The safari.

Stay in one place and it starts to reveal itself. The animals here aren’t passing through, and neither are we. If a morning is worth staying out for, nobody is waiting on us to be anywhere.

The camp and the team.

The camp and the team.

The camp is exclusively yours, run by a hospitality team who make it a home from home. It is built for rest after the dusty, bumpy hours in the vehicle, and it is fully inclusive down to the bar. There are no fences, so the bush carries on around you.

I built Okavango Skimmer around the way I photograph wildlife. I host every departure personally, with photographic support in the field and image reviews back at camp.

Why people come back to the Delta

Why people come back to the Delta

People come home talking about the morning that went by watching one leopard, and the fire every night, and how long it had been since they felt that much at peace. If you’ve been, you know.

Days in the bush and evenings around the fire, with a private camp to come back to.
