Fantastic Big Cat Photography Experience
Went to Knowsley Park, Liverpool for this experience - spent over an hour among the lion pride with David constantly moving the car to get the best lighting and views. He gave helpful advice and was really knowledgeable. We then went behind the scenes to photograph tigers. Loved the whole experience - it was a memorable day!!!

Awesome day, very close to the animals
I really enjoyed this experience at Woburn Safari Park. We went around the safari section in small group and got super close to everything - including all the carnivores! We were allowed to open our windows a crack so we could get some clear shots. We were also driven off the track I’m order to get the best shots. The guides knew what they were talking about and everyone was lovely. I will definitely be doing this again :D

Great opportunity to get up close
Had a great day and got some lovely shots. Friendly and helpful staff, plenty of space in the vehicles, opportunities to move around. September meant the park was quiet so few other vehicles getting in the back of shots etc.

Truly amazing afternoon
on receiving this as a birthday gift, I was initially a little dubious about whether i would like the afternoon. This only because i am a very amateur photographer. My concerns were very quickly overcome due to the very warm welcome and support of the staff and the truly amazing opportunity to photograph some amazing creatures. I took over 1200 photographs and am extremely pleased with well 0ver half of them. We had plenty of time to concentrate on the pictures. excellent experience.

Amazing Experience!!
Super pleased with this half day photography experience, the team were really friendly, on time and keen to get us out on the safari to get shooting and make the most of our day. They positioned us in great spots to get the most incredible shots and were full of really interesting information about the animals we were photographing. Highly recommended and would definitely come back, what an experience!!

Wonderful experience
Being a very keen photographer it was such a wonderful experience to go off road and be placed in the best possible places for the perfect photograph. The guides were full of information. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to take that perfect shot and be so close to all the animals.

A fantastic day out
I was given a half day safari photography experience and as wildlife photography is a hoby that I am developing, was really looking forward to the opportunity to get close to the animals in Woburn Safari Park. The day was brilliantly organised and the guides were very accommodating, making sure everyone got the photos they wanted. The group's were small and everyone got great attention and support from the guides enabling the best positioning for great pictures.

Photography at Woburn Safari Park
A really good day out and and well organised. The staff were really good and accommodating, making sure we got to see what we wanted. They ensured that all in the vehicles had a chance to photograph and manoeuvred the vehicle accordingly. Thanks to all the staff.

Safari park photo opportunity
An excellent day with plenty of photo opportunities not available if you were in your car. Only negative aspect was that one of the party did not keep relatively still in back of Land Rover, kept moving from side to side, hence some long lens shots have got camera shake.

Surpassed all expectations !
Our guide was very informative regarding the animals and extremely helpful with ANY camera issues. Nothing was a problem. Being up close and personal with the animals was such a privilege and it was a fantastic experience all round. The photographs are stunning ( share later) and I'd repeat it in a heart beat.

Good day out
I didn’t know what to expect but had a great day with access to areas not normally available to the general public. Ideally I would have liked more technical guidance on camera settings though

Tigers and bears
Good opportunities to see and photograph the animals at close range, but there was very little photography tuition. I had expected to learn more about photographic techniques.

Good day
Basically a good day with access to areas of the safari park not normally available to visitors. Friendly guides and Safari Park staff. The only thing which could have improved the experience would have been a short session giving technical advice on the best way to photograph animals in the prevailing conditions.

Photo day
All in all it was a reasonable couple of hours being driven around Woburn Safari Park. I suppose I was expecting a more closer contact with some of the animals but as they were mainly of the 'dangerous' kind this was not to be. I have been on other 'wildlife' experiences where we were taken into the enclosures and given camera/photo instruction on how to get the best animal shots. I believe that of the area we covered I could have driven 90% of it myself by using the 'public' roads.

Huge disappointment
When buying this experience for me, my family were careful to make sure that I would get photography tuition and advice on how to get good photos with my DSLR camera, as I am a novice photographer. Although we had excellent access to the animals, there was very little help or advice on photography and use of our cameras. The refreshments included turned out to be a voucher for one drink. Overall, the day was a disappointment and I didn't get the experience I had hoped for.

Safari Photo Experience
My experience was a birthday present. It was chosen based on 'Whats included'. I have taken photographs of wildlife during walks/holidays etc. and felt this session would provide technical tips/ tricks to improve my pictures. On reflection the content did not match the description. Perhaps open to interpretation. The drive across the park in the 4x4's was good, I got lot of photos, but felt I didn't learn anymore about how to get better photos.

Pot luck
It's pot luck as to what the animals at doing and what you see. I found the most interesting part was the knowledge imparted by the 2 drivers especially Hayden, the stories about each character the animal has, what they have been up to recently, he could go on tour as a speaker, Hayden seemed to absolutely love what he did and it showed. This was a gift and I personally felt a bit overpriced.
