If you’ve always wondered which safari destination is best: East Africa or Southern Africa, this podcast is for you! Between the two of us, Lance and I have lead plenty of photographic safaris to both places and today we share our thoughts and some top tips with you.

We discuss the differences between safaris in East Africa and Southern Africa when it comes to reserve and park restrictions, guides, vehicles, landscape and terrain, animal diversity and numbers and, of course, photographic opportunities.

At the end of the podcast, Lance shares valuable thoughts on people who go. onsafari for the first time, but who may very well come back in the future, versus someone who will only ever come on safari once in their lifetime.

Enjoy!
