Drew Sproule - Fine Art Nature Photography

The wild isn’t lost… it’s waiting! Fine art photo artist and safari host
Africa • long-term stories • conservation-led
Limited-edition prints

Drew Sproule is a storyteller above all else and uses his photographs to share an account of his experiences as well as to inform, educate and inspire. He has made a career of creating visually engaging fine art photographs. He is a self-confessed perfectionist and animal lover, and when not travelling, he bases himself in the rolling hills of Somerset in the UK. As a professional photographer, he

has travelled the globe, and as an advocate for the preservation of the world’s threatened habitats and vanishing species, and he uses his photographs to educate and inform. He is extremely passionate about all things Africa and Asia and counts himself fortunate to have travelled extensively in both continents. He believes that the years of in-the-field and on-location experience have given him an invaluable and comprehensive insight and understanding of animal behaviour. It’s this knowledge that allows him to extract the best out of opportunities while on location. He has a wealth of tour operator experience having forged a successful career at a senior level for some of the most recognisable global travel brands, most notably Virgin, Flight Centre, TUI and QANTAS. He is the founder of the Wear4Wild initiative which was set up as a way to directly give back to the incredible wildlife conservation organisations that I’ve met in the field and that work tirelessly on the ground to ensure the continued protection of the world’s iconic species and ecosystems for all of our futures.

Tsessebe or Topi? 🤔🦌

At first glance, these two antelope cousins can look remarkably similar. But take a closer look and there are some tell-tale differences.

➡️ Tsessebe (seen here) are generally darker, more robustly built and have a distinctive sloping back. They inhabit the open plains of Southern Africa, particularly Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe.

➡️ Topi tend to have richer reddish-brown coats, with distinctive dark markings on their upper legs and face. They’re found across East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Both are incredibly fast, reaching speeds of up to 70 km/h (43 mph), and seeing a Tsessebe charging across the open plains is quite a sight.

Tsessebe are just one of the many reasons I keep going back to Botswana, and I’ll be returning on September 2027 for another photo safari.

It’s an experience that reminds you what truly matters.

Harsh midday sun, shadows where you don’t want them, contrast doing its own thing. But does it really matter?

This newly formed coalition of three young males in the Xudum Concession are still trying to figure things out and where they fit in the bigger picture. You can see it in the way they observe and move. Not quite dominant, but not far off either. Testing, scent-marking and pushing boundaries.

In lion society, nothing is handed to you. Everything must be earned.

OK, the light wasn’t perfect. But the moment was. And that’s the bit that stays with me.

Eye level with a giant.
Khwai doesn’t do small moments. 🐘

02/04/2026

A female Bee-eater, in the Macin Mountains of Romania, takes time out, between bouts of insect parcel drops from her partner, for a stretch.

01/04/2026

Golden light and a quiet moment with a lion cub in Khwai. These are the scenes that make every trip into the wild unforgettable.

It’s the quieter, easily missed, feel good moments like this that stay with you longer🐒

29/03/2026

The Xudum concession in the Okavango Delta boasts the third highest density of leopards recorded anywhere in Africa, so a chance of a sighting is very good indeed, although never guaranteed of course, but when you do - it’s always very special 🐆

Botswana for this year is sold out, however I’m back in Botswana Sep/Oct 2027 to host another dedicated photo safari to Chobe, Savuti, Okavango Delta and the Kalahari and I’d love you to join me! 🦁🐘🐆🦛

Perched high and keeping a watchful eye—Tsessebe’s know the value of a good vantage point. 🦌
