Group Safaris 2023


There are two types of group departure, and you can find out more about those by clicking on our “About our Safaris” page. The groups will often fill some time in advance, but waitlists are always available in case of late drop-outs or cancellations. Please let us know if you wish to be considered on for any of those. Current status you see on this page does not include those who are holding a space, so in some cases a trip might have less places than is shown as we are just awaiting the form. Otherwise, this page will give you a good idea of availability at any one time. To enquire about any spaces on the following photographer-guided trips, please contact either:

 ANDY@FAUNAVISTA.COM

All trips are fully covered and bonded (although…we don’t do flights to/from the start/finish points!), as per the information later on this page (see “our commitment”).
