Eyckmans Kristol Wilderness is highlighting the power of photography in its conservation efforts to help ensure a positive impact on wildlife and cultural preservation.
The Importance of photography for conservation Photography holds a crucial role in conservation efforts, as evocative images create emotional connections that help raise awareness and educate about the challenges faced by endangered species.
Travellers have the opportunity to photograph and learn about endangered animals without negatively impacting their habitats.
Smartphone photography in the wilderness Smartphones can capture spontaneous and candid moments effortlessly in order to take images of wildlife with minimal disturbance.
Respectful Photography on Safaris
The comfort of the wildlife is more important than the ambitions of the photographer on a Wilderness safari.
This principal extends to photographing cultural setting, whether travellers are meeting the Himba people on a safari with Wilderness in Namibia, or capturing what life is like in villages surrounding their camps in Rwanda or Zimbabwe.
Encountering wildlife can include a pride of lions on a kill, a herd of browsing elephants or a leopard in a tree.
It’s important not to disturb the wildlife by inviting too many vehicles to join the sighting, and Wilderness has a strict three-vehicle policy.
