Your Dream...

You are going on a photo safari to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park that is famous for its black-maned lions, raptors, cheetahs and amazing landscapes - you have dreams of capturing your fantastic wildlife experiences on camera and returning home with impressive images to show friends and family.

Your Struggle...
You get home with magnificent memories, but boring photographs that have not captured the essence of the Kgalagadi. You are so disappointed with the photographs that you show nobody.

Or, even worse, you cannot find the animals to photograph! Remember, the national parks are not zoos, you need to be able to first find the subjects and then know how best to photograph them.

Booking.com

The above scenario is played out by many people each year. You are unsure of what photo equipment to bring with, you don't know where the animal hot-spots are and you don't know what to expect from the animals if and when you do find them.

And then, by the time you are just getting 'acclimatized' to the park, it's time to go home!

For many people, an African safari is a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience and you don't have the time or money to repeat the trip in order to rectify mistakes you made on your first safari.

But what if you could get a head start with your safari and know important information up-front?

Well you can...
the solution to your problem is this Kgalagadi self-drive eBook (US$27.80) that you can download today (no postage costs) and either print out or keep on your laptop, iPad and/or Smartphone.

What other people are saying about The Photographers Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

"As a very keen photographer I spend every spare moment in one of our beautiful National Parks. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is one of my favourites, which I visit at least twice a year. I have over the years made a priority list of what must be packed (yes I have in the past forgotten to take something), and any list will definitely start with my camera goodies followed by the ‘less important’ camping equipment and food.

Mario and Jenny’s Photographer’s Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park has now earned a top spot on my list!

This excellent guide is full of practical tips on camera equipment, information on the various regions in the park and its lovely waterholes, even including where to park your vehicle to get the best light on your subject and therefore the best possible images.

All the waterholes are covered, indicated as morning or afternoon sites, including images of each waterhole, what to look out for when approaching the waterhole and which animals you can expect to find there. The authors have also included their recommended drives, both morning and afternoon, from each of the camps or lodges in the Park.

And the 17 Photographic Lessons -from ‘Patience and Preparation’ to the final one, ‘Photographing at Night from the Camps’ - are little gold nuggets scattered throughout this lovely Guide.

This eBook will be extremely useful for a wide spectrum of photography enthusiasts, from beginners to even professional photographers.”

-- Tobie Oosthuizen, Pretoria, South Africa

“The photographer’s Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is a must-have… [and is] your key to better nature and wildlife photography”

-- SANParks Magazine, South Africa

“For a self-drive photo safari, it is hard to imagine a more useful tool than The Photographer’s Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park”

-- Romi Boom, Editor, Wild Magazine, South Africa

“Apogee Photo Magazine has reviewed several of the Fazekas’ guide-books to various parks in Southern Africa and each new one seems to get better and better … if that is possible.

They are complete and always generous with their suggestions and information. Their photography lessons are outstanding and to the point.

Definitely a must have on your Safari or on any wildlife adventure for their lessons alone.”

-- Apogee Photo Magazine, USA

"Once again Mario and Jenny Fazekas have excelled at producing this eBook, ‘The Photographer’s Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park’.

Many kilometres travelled and hundreds of hours spent on collecting and collating all the Information necessary to produce this book, so that others may benefit from it.

I was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to accompany Mario and Jenny on a trip when they were compiling their eBook ‘The Photographers Guide to the Pilanesberg’ and experienced, first hand, their dedication and amount of time invested in reporting, not only the best time of year, but also time of day and where to park for the best view of the animals.

In Conclusion: It is gratifying to find passionate and talented wildlife photographers who are willing and prepared to share their expertise with all who are interested.

Anyone considering a trip to The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park would be well advised to have this information on hand to make their photographs and memories the best they can be."

-- Alastair Stewart, British Columbia, Canada

"I found The Photographer's Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park a “must have” for planning my trip and believe regular visitors to the park will also find it invaluable for future trips. The book is packed with knowledge that can be applied to other parks, safaris and wildlife excursions via the photography lessons and additional advice for photographers.

There is SO much information to process that I would recommend you read the book end to end and the next time you go to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, decide which area/s to visit and then study the relevant sections pragmatically.

The book gives you ample information and guidance, which if followed, would help you in your photography and sightings, enabling you to get some awesome shots.

The 300 page book is structured and the layout easy to read. I read the book on my tablet so rest assured that you can take this book anywhere on mobile devices.

I have not been able to find a similar or equivalent book on the Kgalagadi which is so comprehensive as The Photographer’s Guide to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Enjoy the read and the photographs - it's an amazing experience by amazing people!”

-- Amanda Ellis, Pretoria, South Africa

"Whether you're a frequent guest to the Kgalagadi, like my wife and I, or a first time visitor, this guide is a must.

Mario and Jenny take you to spots that are not always visited, and their descriptions of the more remote camps will allow you to make an informed decision without wasting time and money.

Their tips on photographing the flora, fauna and scenery are spot on and additionally, as it's a 'buy-once and get updates for free', any changes in the park (such as new camps or waterholes) will be available to you at no cost as the updated versions are published. You won't get that in one of the hard print publications!

So whether you print the eBook, view on a reader or keep it on your laptop, the information will be there with you while on safari.

How can you go wrong?"

-- Bob and Sherry Shepardson, DeBary, Florida, USA

"I can highly recommend Mario and Jenny's photographic guide to the Kgalagadi.

Having a passion for the region myself and having had to learn about all the dynamics, waterholes and ideal routes to drive over a period of 6 years - I wish I had this guide on my first trip already!

They pay careful attention to the fall of light on waterholes and game drive routes, the historic species sighted at various waterholes and the total immersive experience that is photography in the Kgalagadi - with some useful photo tips thrown in the mix to keep things interesting.

If you are planning to visit the Kgalagadi in the future, this guide will be an invaluable tool to have on your mobile device or tablet for easy reference and daily game viewing planning."

-- Morkel Erasmus, Secunda, South Africa
