Tours for Active Photographers

 

Global Travel Photography (GTP) offers tours to Asia, Africa and South America for active travelers who enjoy soft adventure and photography.   Each year GTP chooses new destinations to explore on these 3 continents.

 

GTP's specialized tours are designed for people like you who want to see, experience and photograph a world that is foreign to them.   You will travel to areas of amazing landscapes, interesting cultures and unique wildlife.   You will be up early to get the best light of the day and go out of the way to incorporate a sunset in your pictures.   You will hike to where the best pictures can be taken and participate in other activities on the water and in the air for a new experience and a different photo angle.

 

To enjoy our tours you should be physically fit but any level of photography experience is fine.   Some days include as much as 6 hours of moderately strenuous exercise such as hiking or paddling.   You will take lots of breaks for photography, though, so you don’t need to be an athlete.   You will receive as much or as little photo advice as you want.

 

Tours are limited to a maximum of eight people in order to provide the best combination of travelling flexibility and photo opportunities for you.   With 8 people smaller vehicles can be used to go places that big busses can’t.   Small groups can approach people and wildlife that big groups can’t hope to see.   Small planes are often used to get to remote destinations and afford us an opportunity for some great aerial photography.   Small busses, vans and safari vehicles are used at each destination for local transportation giving us an opportunity to stop and take photographs along the way.   Sometimes, the transportation itself is a photo opportunity when local boats, trains and even rickshaws are used.

 

GTP tour accomodations are selected to provide you with the best location, photographic appeal and basic comfort.   As a small group, smaller hotels and lodges that are strategically located near photography sites can be used.   Some of the properties are photogenic themselves.   Most properties will provide a basic level of comfort equivalent to a three star hotel but occasionally the ‘best available’ is a bit more rustic.   Four and five star hotels are used in larger cities to balance it out.

 

You'll learn how to take great pictures of your own AND become the star in some great pictures taken by others.   After the end of the trip, GTP will create a photo book with the best images, including images of you.   You will receive a copy of this book and an electronic copy of images that include you so you will have several great ways to remember the trip.

 

We visit amazing countries that all provide a wide range of photographic opportunities and activities to experience.   Check out the freqently asked questions for more information or the Photo Gallery for a sample of the places you will see.   Then click on the links below for an overview of each trip.   If you would like more information on any of these trips, contact GTP for answers to any questions you may have.
