ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDE, DANIELLE CARSTENS
Danielle has been taking photographs ever since she can remember. As a young girl, she always had a disposable Kodak film camera in hand. Many years later, she still has a camera in hand, albeit an upgraded one.
Her love for photography, coupled with her inherent love for wildlife and wild places, led her to be a professional photographic guide in Africa, her home continent. She spent years living in Botswana and guiding photo safaris throughout the country’s wildest regions with guests from all over the world. In addition to Botswana, she has also led photo tours in Namibia, South Africa and Kenya and has travelled to some of Africa’s lesser known countries including Sudan, Lesotho and Madagascar.
Having spent countless hours in the bush over 30 years has led to her in-depth knowledge of animal behaviour, which she believes is one of the most important aspects of wildlife photography. To see her guests discover the art of photography while spending time in the beauty of nature, is what makes her happy.
Taking time to observe wildlife and appreciate the moment is what it is all about for her. Her dream is for photographic safaris to become the most sustainable form of tourism in order to conserve the wildlife and wild places that are becoming more precious by the day.
When not in the bush, she enjoys being in or on water – swimming, kayaking or just enjoying the sunshine.
