In the evenings at the safari lodges Theodore will teach us photography techniques and discuss
our experiences and results of the day. Those wishing to take advantage of his knowledge and
photographic expertise will take turns riding in his vehicle. Be aware that doing so may mean
going out earlier and staying out longer than the rest of the group in order to capture just the
right light or moment.
Here are a few of Theodore’s award-winning photographs
