Pre-travel advice:
1 month prior to travel you will receive a comprehensive document that provides additional advice so you are prepared for your workshop.Experience Level: All Welcome
These workshops are open to photographers of all ability. From the very beginner to those who are more advanced, a relaxed approach is given to ensure you all have a great day of photography.
Fitness Levels:
This tour does not require a high level of fitness.Whilst the centre houses a massive range of animals in large enclosures it manages to remain reasonably compact and whilst there is a little walking between pens it ought not to be too taxing.
The site is accessed via good pathways and disabled parking facilities are available close to the visitor building entrance. Most of the enclosures are reached over gravel paths but it should be noted that access ‘inside’ the enclosures would be difficult for wheelchair users because of narrow doorways and rough ground.
Wheelchair users or those guests with specific needs are advised to contact us before booking and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
Camera Equipment:
For this trip you ideally need a variety of lenses. Firstly the long lenses (300mm to 500mm) would provide some nice headshots.Shorter lenses would be more ideal for this workshop. A 70-200mm or 100-400mm lens is great for flexibility. A 24-70mm would be great for wide angle images.
Tripods are not suitable for this workshop but a monopod can be used if you feel you need some extra support
