The Londolozi Photographic Studio first opened its doors over ten years ago and was the first of its kind. From there it has transformed into something unique and remarkable. Situated adjacent to the Londolozi Safari Boutique overlooking the Varty Camp pool. This on-location studio allows guests to review their images captured during the game drive and touch up and enhance them, producing pieces of art right before their eyes, here on site!
The Studio also allows guests to rent Nikon or Canon equipment for the duration of their stay. With the assistance of their trained photographic guide and the studio team, we ensure that you can make the most of your photographic experience. The Londolozi Photographic Store allows you to pre-book your camera gear which will be ready upon your arrival. Or alternatively, if you have your own equipment and want to rent a different lens you are able to do so.

Our current camera fleet is listed below from our studio, with the various camera bodies and lens options are available during your stay.
We are undeniably fortunate to explore a landscape that holds the possibility of capturing animals in their natural habitat coupled with the rare privilege to observe these animals with exceptional photographic opportunities.

The Photographic Studio is where we can level up your photographic masterpieces with the use of post-processing, taking the RAW images and editing them with a photographer’s dream software known as Lightroom.
The use of Adobe Lightroom allows us to have the latest technology with monthly updates to ensure the best technical software is used while editing your photos.
Lightroom before and after allows you to recreate an image to the moment it was captured.
We are excited to share that we have upgraded our dedicated two brand new Apple M1 Macs with a 24-inch display screen. The M1 series from Apple are nearly twice as fast as the previous Macs which is ideal when viewing photos. These slimline computers have a 4.5K Retina which provides an impressive display to view your photos, with over a billion colours that allow you to view your photos in all of their glory.
Pre-book an hour photographic studio editing session to fill the gap between your game drives.
Once blown away by the editing, you have the opportunity to take your digital versions of your images and convert them into something a little more tangible, a hard copy print. Our on-site printers allow you to print your images on wide-format canvas or glossy photo paper. These are then rolled up in a tube for easy transport for you to take home with you after your stay.

Our new Canon imagePROGRAF printers ensure high-quality, fine art printing in various sizes so that you can take some of your best memories home with you. These new printers ensure richer colour and darker blacks to guarantee high-quality prints with maximum print resolution. We are able to print both glossy photo paper and canvas in our recommended sizes.
We hope to welcome you to our Photographic Studio during your next upcoming stay where you can explore the possibilities of your photographs and take memories home with you from your time here at Londolozi.

Excellent! Maybe one day. 🙂
Kirst, We love the Photo Studio and it was great to run into you there on our recent visit! We always book a time with our ranger after our first game drives to make sure our camera settings are right and to get a little coaching on the images we have shot. It takes a little time to remember all the details for shooting wildlife as we are not doing it on a regular basis. The new M1s and Adobe Lightroom are a match made in heaven and the prints are spectacular!
This incredible service is unmatched anywhere. I took advantage of it shortly after it opened. The images produced in the Studio, by the extremely talented Alice Constatin, are still among my favorites. I highly recommend that all who visit Londolozi visit the Studio.
Fantastic Kirst and Londolozi is always ready to assist in the best camera equipment and processing in Light room. Wonderful to know and I am sure the guests will be delighted in all the options available to them.
Nice upgrades, Kirst! It was about ten years ago that I had my first Lightroom lessons from Amanda at the old photographic studio. I still have some of those images on my walls and I continue to use Lightroom to edit my Londolozi shots after every visit. I’m so grateful to have had the introduction with hands-on help!
Kirst, Londolozi has it all when it comes to photographic equipment. Thanks for the information.
Fantastic news! The studio was was a great place for looking at one’s photos in a larger format, but the new M1 Mac 24” will really bring them to life. The canvas prints are the best tangible souvenirs one can take home! Love mine!!
A wonderful service, I will certainly use it next time.
Somehow this time I didn‘t realize somehow that I could have used it.
Fantastic opportunity for a refresher after a 2 year hiatus from shooting wildlife.
