Very sound comments. If you are lucky enough to get really close (and that usually means the Elephant comes to you) try to look directly into its eye.

They are wonderful animals to photograph. I have never had a bad shot–at least I think so.

Thanks for the great tips Simon, I will definitely try them out when at Londolozi again next year. Your photographs are all fantastic and I especially love the one with the elephant in the river with the tree background…just spectacular!!!

Awesome photographs Simon and a great take on the wonderful opportunities photographing elephants provides.

Amazing photographs!

This was actually immensely helpful! I’ll use these tips in 5 days upon my return!

Just a small say, glad you have taken something from it and I hope it helps. To those returning to Londolozi hopefully we’ll see your shots in a guest blog along the way!
