Insiders Guide: Top Wildlife Photography Spots in Botswana and Namibia

by Shem Compion
 

In the second book of his three-part Insider’s Guide series, wildlife photographer and naturalist Shem Compion shares his knowledge of some of Botswana and Namibia’s most rewarding photographic destinations.

​

The book answers the practical questions that shape a successful photographic journey, including when to travel, how to reach each location, where to stay and what subjects photographers can expect to encounter. Detailed field notes explore photographic techniques, equipment and light, while guidance on animal behaviour helps readers anticipate rather than simply react to a sighting.

​

In Botswana, the journey includes the waterways of the Okavango Delta, the open landscapes of Deception Valley and the wildlife-rich Northern Tuli Game Reserve. In Namibia, Shem explores the southern deserts, lesser-known areas of Etosha National Park and the river systems of the Caprivi Strip, now known as the Zambezi Region.

​

Drawing on years spent photographing and guiding throughout southern Africa, Shem combines practical travel information with firsthand knowledge of wildlife, habitats and seasonal conditions. The result is a useful field companion for photographers, naturalists and travellers planning to explore Botswana and Namibia.
