Are the tours open to non photographers?

Of course! Our tours are open to everybody, whether you are a wildlife photographer or not. You can simply come with a pair of binoculars to watch wildlife. For wildlife photographers, we have created trips specially dedicated to wildlife photography that you will find in our “Photo Tours” section.
