Lesanne is a professional photographer with a degree in photojournalism. She has over 10 years worth of experience shooting wildlife and landscapes in the bush and has just been rated Zimbabwe's number 1 photographer!

"Its not just about the biggest lens or how close you can get - I focus on composition, light and telling a story. After this course you will understand your camera, understand what makes a good photograph and how to finish it off in post production." Remember "Beauty can be seen in all things. Seeing and composing the beauty is what separates a snapshot from a photograph."

Julian is professional, experienced and an excellent communicator."

Destination Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Victoria Falls

One of the original natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls is a World Heritage Site and an extremely popular tourism attraction. Known locally as ‘The Smoke that Thunders’, this spectacle is accessible from both Zambia and Zimbabwe and it is an ideal place to combine a game viewing and water sports. There is excellent fishing, a terrifying bungee jump and arguably the best commercial white water rafting in the world.

Ilala Lodge

The warmest of welcomes awaits you at Ilala Lodge Hotel. A gracefully distinguished ambiance. Attentive yet discrete service that always comes with a smile. The sublime surroundings of this boutique hotel will reawaken your senses while the power of the majestic Victoria Falls renews your spirit.

Relax in luxurious style. Listen to the meditative rhythm of the great Zambezi River as you drift off to sleep. As morning comes, gently awake and lift your head to see the spray of the majestic Victoria Falls across the unspoiled horizon – and let your soul sigh.

Feel at ease in the elegant and spacious rooms with African Teak furniture, soft, crisp linen – all en-suite facilities, bathroom with separate shower, air conditioning, overhead fan, satellite TV, hair dryer, tea & coffee making facilities, free Wi-Fi and a safe. The view from your room looks across the lawns to the National Parks where elephant, warthog, impala or the occasional buffalo might be passing by or simply grazing on the lawn or in the tree line.

Experience new tastes, indulge in unusual flavours and enjoy delectable dishes at our award winning restaurant "The Palm”; dine in view of the spray of the majestic Victoria Falls! Lodge also has a spa, where you can spoil yourself after that long safari!



 

Destination Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Hwange National Park

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s biggest reserve, home to a profusion of wildlife, including giraffe, lion, zebra and approximately 40 000 elephants. It provides sanctuary for all the country’s endangered species, including a population of wild dogs thought to be among the most sizeable surviving groups on the continent. Terrain ranges from desert dunes and savannah lands to rocky outcrops and sparse forests, and visitors have the choice of game drives, guided walks or horseback safaris as a means of experiencing the park and its creatures.

Kapula North Camp

Situated adjacent to the famous Masuma dam picnic site in the heart of Hwange National Park, the largest park in Zimbabwe. Kapula is approximately three hours drive by transfer and safari vehicle from Victoria Falls. Every tent is raised on a timber platform overlooking Kapula Vlei with each spacious tent accommodating 2 adults.

The tents can be setup with either one extra-long King size bed or two extra-long 3-4 beds depending on guest's requirements. The Main Building, situated in the centre of the camp, consists of an open-plan lounge with luxurious couches & chairs, a dining room section with a 12-seater table with a magnificent view over Kapula Vlei from where guests can sit and watch game activity.
