“Elephants crossing the Kafue three times!”- Iansinger
I booked my safari through Busanga Safaris. It was specifically a photographic safari with wildlife photographer Tom Way and Tyrone McKeith of Jeffery & McKeith Safaris.
We spent four nights at their Musakese base and four at the Ntemwa-Busanga Camp. Tyrone took us to many locations with a wide range of wildlife and was hugely generous in sharing his knowledge of not only the animals but of all the environmental factors behind their presence in the Park. He worked with Tom to put us in the best possible positions for our photographs and Tom gave continuous advice on his approach to taking the shots. I learnt a great deal from Tom whilst still being free to follow my own ideas and progress at my own pace.
On request, Tom also had sessions with individuals to review their work and gave demonstrations of techniques. I know that I will learn even more when I process my photos with his advice still in mind and will, hopefully, be able to further improve om my next trip which will again be with Tom to the Luangwa next year.
Kolo, who is in charge of the non-game arrangements, is a great character and fantastic fun! All the camp staff were absolutely charming, friendly and very professional in their duties - a real credit to the young company. Lovely food from the chefs with an impressive standard of service. Accommodation was excellent - in the bush yes but we were certainly not roughing it even at the more basic Ntemwa camp.
Tyrone is very passionate about the Park and made sure we knew just how much we contributed in many ways from wildlife protection and economic improvements just by opting to visit. I, for one, will be returning.
