As some of you might recall, I recently had the good fortune to work and travel on the African continent. Shooting in that area of the world is something that I’ve always wanted to do – and it did not disappoint. To the contrary, it opened up my understanding of the rich possibilities in the Sub-Sahara. We were there for almost two weeks and barely scratched the surface. Saying Africa is a dream destination for photographers is like saying it’s dry in the Sahara. It’s painfully obvious. But my opportunity to shoot in Africa only made me want to go back and go deeper.As an example of going deeper check out the image tabs above for a collection of mind-blowing photos taken of landscape and wildlife in Africa on a helicopter safari.

I couldn’t help notice this inspirational collection by photographer Martin Harvey. He took these photographs while on a helicopter safari that toured through Botswana, Namibia and Kenya. I admit to being jealous. The landscapes from high above are especially interesting to me. I’ve done some similar work in New Zealand (another one of my favorite places to shoot photos). Helicopter Safari – officially added it to the bucket list. It might seem far off and unattainable but I’m a big believer in this basic idea: Dream big.

For those who long to immerse themselves in the heart of Africa without breaking the bank, Kruger National Park safaris offer an unparalleled opportunity. Known for its rich biodiversity and iconic Big Five sightings, this world-renowned destination is perfect for travelers seeking unforgettable experiences.

Budget-friendly African safaris allow you to connect deeply with nature, whether you’re tracking lions or gazing at a herd of zebras under the vast African sky. With guided tours and self-drive options, Kruger accommodates everyone, from seasoned adventurers to first-time visitors. Imagine waking to the call of birds at dawn and heading out on a game drive to this National Park, where every turn of the dusty trail reveals another thrilling encounter with nature. It’s the kind of journey that doesn’t just live in your memory—it shapes how you see the world.

Tanzania is another bucket-list destination for safari lovers, where the vast Serengeti Plains stretch endlessly beneath the African sun. Here, the landscapes are alive with the movement of wildlife—massive herds of wildebeest thunder across the horizon during the great migration, and the Big Five roam freely in their natural habitat.

For those seeking a more personalized experience, Safari Soles Tours offers tailored itineraries that allow you to dive deeper into Tanzania’s rich ecosystems. With expert guides who know the land inside and out, they provide an authentic adventure, ensuring you don’t just see animals but understand the delicate balance of life here. From tracking elusive leopards in the trees to watching a pride of lions basking in the sun, every moment is a chance to connect with nature in its most raw and breathtaking form.
