Photography Tours

Our photo tours have been designed after years of scouting locations to create the best itineraries for your photographic holiday. Our experience in all the destinations we visit will offer you knowledge about wildlife habits, locations, and timing for the best light. The result is that you will be joining tours where you’ll be sure to achieve a perfect blend of the shots you know you want and photos from some of the lesser-known locations we have found during our many years of travel.

But it isn’t enough to get you to the right spot at the right time. In our opinion, there is more to a great photography workshop. Instruction plays an integral part in every holiday you take with us. We will help you develop your skills in the field and post-processing after you’ve taken your photos. The photography tours below are intended for both the experienced photographer and those just starting their photographic journey.

I co-founded Akari Photo Tours, a photography workshop company that leads small-group photography adventures to epic destinations worldwide and operates all of my photo trips.
