What my guests say

 5/5

Absolutely amazing, awesome, wonderful… I dont really have the words! As a beginner I found the workshop the perfect opportunity to develop my skills and I learnt so much that I cannot wait for the next opportunity to practice. Isak Pretorius is a very talented, passionate photographer who was willing to share his knowledge and experience, and it was a privilege to learn from him. I found the course very well organized and can highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in photography and the bush. Very happy memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you all.

We have travelled more than a few times with Isak, to various countries and can with all confidence recommend to anyone (beginner or professional) to BOOK HIM!

Composition, settings, information about animals behaviour and what photos we could maybe get from the situation… when to be prepared… which lenses… made it fantastic. The enthusiasm of our guides, who did the workshop with passion, made the Mashatu trip unforgettable. They cared a lot for everybody and were happy when all could get the best out of it. Mashatu is a place one has to come back to.
