      Why travel with Sreejith Captures?

      A mentorship, not just a tour

      Hi, I'm Sreejith. I'll be with you throughout this mentorship — helping you master camera settings, composition, wildlife behaviour and post-processing. My goal isn't just to help you photograph wildlife; it's to help you become a better wildlife photographer, and to leave with images you're genuinely proud of.

      Good to know

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Is this tour suitable for beginners?
      Absolutely. This is a hands-on mentorship built for beginners and enthusiasts alike. You don't need prior experience — if you can bring your camera and your curiosity, I'll guide you through settings, composition and reading wildlife behaviour in the field.
      What camera gear do I need?
      A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens (roughly 200mm and above; a 100–400mm is ideal) covers most situations. If you're unsure what to bring or want to rent something, message me before the trip and I'll help you choose.
      How physically demanding is it?
      It's comfortable for most fitness levels. Most photography happens from an open 4x4 safari vehicle during game drives, so there's no long trekking involved. Expect early starts to catch the best light — that's the main demand.
      What's included in the price?
      Accommodation, meals, in-park transport, expert guiding, park and conservancy fees, and daily photography mentoring with personal image review. See the "Includes" section above for the full list. International flights, visa and travel insurance are not included.
      Can I get a private room?
      Yes. Rooms are shared by default, but a private/single room (if available) can be booked for a 10% supplement — just select it when you book.
      How do I reserve my place and pay?
      You can secure your spot online with a 25% deposit and pay the balance before the tour. Paying the full amount upfront is also available at checkout. Payments are handled through a secure gateway.
      How big is the group?
      Deliberately small — this trip is capped at 4 photographers. Keeping the group tight means everyone gets genuine personal mentoring, a clear line of sight at every sighting, and room to work — not a crowded bus.
      What if I need to cancel?
      Life happens — if your plans change, get in touch with me directly and I'll do my best to work with you. Cancellation specifics are covered in the Terms & Conditions.
