Join us to explore the wild heart of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, an enchanting semi-desert corner where nature shows its strength through extreme climatic conditions.
Traveling along its dusty roads, you will be immersed in an extraordinary landscape, dominated by the imposing Kalahari dunes that shine an intense fiery red under the sun. Every road and every corner of the park is an invitation to explore and capture unique moments through your camera.
The Kgalagadi is not just a place to visit, but a real experience that goes beyond photography.
Here, wild and untouched nature reveals itself in its most authentic beauty, allowing you to take photos that tell stories, that capture emotions, that are windows onto a world waiting to be discovered.
In the heart of the Kgalagadi, you will find a perfect habitat for a wide variety of life!
Here, the Kalahari lion, known for its distinctive black mane, reigns supreme. This magnificent predator is the living symbol of the park and represents the wild and untamed spirit of this area.
Alongside the Kalahari lion, the park is home to a number of other fascinating carnivores, including: cheetahs, leopards, caracals, servals, jackals, brown hyenas, spotted hyenas…
In addition, the park is home to an exceptional variety of species, including: aardvark, otocyones, giraffes, genets, meerkats, honey badgers, squirrels, zebras, wildebeests, porcupines, wild cats, gemsbok, springbok, eland, red hartebeest…
Each species within the park contributes to making this ecosystem unique.
Among the more than 300 species of birds: martial eagle, serpent eagle, red-necked hawk, black-winged kite, bateleur falcon, Nubian vulture, lunar falcon, pygmy falcon, red-footed falcon, serpent eagle, white-faced scops owl, Verreaux's eagle owl, Kori bustard, white-winged bustard, spotted eagle owl, tawny eagle and many more.
It will be a 360° expedition! The entire tour will take place on board 4×4 Jeeps specially equipped with refrigerators, gas stoves, pots and roof tents (2 double tents per vehicle), allowing us to move the camp with us at each stage.
This journey will require total immersion in the experience: each participant will be an active part of the team, collaborating in daily activities, such as cooking, setting up camp and preparing tents for the night.
It is precisely this spirit of sharing and adventure that makes the journey unique, different from any other experience. A true expedition, where every photograph will tell a story and will have an unforgettable flavor.

Posti meravigliosi dove è stato possibile fotografare stambecchi, camosci, volpi avvicinandoci con rispetto ma garantendo ottime posizioni per lo scatto. Consiglierei a chiunque di fare workshop con loro.JOAQUIN FUENTES05/02/2024Michele and Sharon were the best hosts a photographer could ask for. They are two of my heroes and are some of the best wildlife photographers in the world. This was the trip of a lifetime! We had luxury accommodations and 5 star meals daily. Each photographer had our own row in the vehicles. Highly recommend booking with Michele through his official website if you’re interested in any type of wildlife photography tour. We had all advanced photographers on our trip, but I understand that all levels are welcome to join. What a fun group and experience! Note that the all inclusive photography experience actually cost much less than what you would have to pay on your own! It would have cost around twice as much to reserve the rooms, transfers and private vehicle for a week. I’m really looking forward to my next tour with Michele and Sharon!Josef Gelernter04/02/2024It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience ! Extremely well organized and managed ! I have to thank Sharon and Michele for their wonderful support and guidance ! They both are not only fantastic photographers, but also wonderful tour leaders ! I would go on any tour with them as it is well worth every single penny spent ! Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart Sharon and Michele and see you very soon on another of your tours ! All the best ! JoeFrancesca Baravelli02/12/2023Ho partecipato al workshop Winter sibillini con Jonathan e Michele, è stato tutto emozionante, divertente e professionale.
