Ethical Wildlife Photography & Film Making Safaris and Workshops
UK and Worldwide

I personally lead all of my high end wildlife photography and film making safaris and workshops, and I've carefully designed each one to meet the specific needs of photographers and film makers. Safaris That Support Conservation, Climate and Communities

My commitment to ethical safari means I've taken steps to r

edress any negative impact on the world's climate from our travels, while maximising our positive impacts on conservation and communities in all our safari destinations. Booking on my safaris and workshops means you directly benefit Conservation, Climate & Community charities in the UK and Africa, including Gorilla Doctors, Mara Predator Conservation Programme and Friends of Red Kites North East. Plus my colleagues and I donate time, resources and a proportion of our profits to producing video, photography and training that allows our supported organisations to get their vital messages across. My safaris and workshops are safe, diverse and inclusive spaces for female, LGBTQ+ and BAME photographers, where we can relax, be ourselves and enjoy learning more about wildlife photography in great company. So when you safari with me you can be sure of an exciting, exclusive and ethical adventure in wildlife photography and film! A Bit Of Back Story
My love of photography started as a kid, when I'd take fuzzy snaps and save my pocket money to get them processed at the local chemist shop...perhaps not my finest work, but fun at the time! My love of wildlife started at the same age, and my first real career was as a Countryside Ranger. Now I'm a Trustee and Climate Change Ambassador for Northumberland Wildlife Trust. I first brought my two passions together via film making and natural history presenting at the BBC, before launching Trai Anfield Photography Safaris in 2011. Successes and Experience
I've been fortunate to win several awards as a wildlife photographer, including wins in WildArt Photographer Of The Year and the Greatest Maasai Mara Photographer of the Year. My photography is frequently featured in magazines, exhibited internationally, and represented in the UK by Joe Cornish Gallery. I'm an experienced tutor, having mentored and trained colleagues and contributors throughout my 13 years at the BBC. I also designed and lead Creative Factual TV Production workshops for Channel 4 for many years, and have guest lectured at Princeton University on their undergraduate Digital Bootcamp. So on my safaris and workshops you not only get the benefit of my photography experience and inspiration, but training that is tailored to your individual needs and the unique option to learn wildlife videography from a BBC trained film maker as well. If you're looking for a photography safari with a difference - and to make a difference when you go on photography safari - please check out my website for my latest trips.

I’ve generally stayed away from using pre-sets, but with a resolution to stay open-minded I thought I’d have a go at using some on this lion shot I was finding tricky to edit. One is my original edit (not saying which!) and the others have presets added - wonder which number 1-5 you prefer? Thanks if you take part, otherwise just enjoy a lovely lion! 😻

Happy 100th birthday to the man who inspired me as a kid glued to Life On Earth, brought me closer to my dad as we explored the British countryside and African plains, and also gave me the highlight of my broadcast career as I stepped into his shoes to present Blue Planet Live in its arena tour. Sir David Attenborough shaped my life and I’d like to join the millions of people around the world wishing him the happiest future as he heads into a second century.

Spring is absolutely my favourite time of year to be back at home, sharing the joy of new life xx

Who would be a Pallas’s Cat?

Sharing this fun little video from my recent Ladakh recce trip of a male Pallas’s cat on his quest to find a mate in the searing heat of the high altitude desert (hence the pesky heat haze).

Lots more to come from the trip and the 3 Cats of Ladakh Photography Expedition 2027 page is live on my website if you’d like to know more, and maybe even join me next year.

Ladakh has taken my breath away this year.

I didn't really know what to expect from my fact-finding trip in February, but I've come back a massive fan of this truly wild and unspoiled state, it's people and of course it's wildlife.

I'm now delighted to have finalised a thrilling expedition itinerary for 2027 based loosely around the three rare and endangered cats of the region: snow leopard, Eurasian lynx and Pallas's cat.

But as you'll see, there's SO much more to this High Himalayan adventure that just keeps on giving!

Sometimes small things bring the most pleasure. I certainly didn’t travel to the Okavango Delta to see squirrels, but was enchanted for an entire lunchtime watching this little one and his partner scurrying back and forth with mouthfuls of leaves for a nest. There was one place where they had to jump between tree roots and I waited for the sun to inch round so it illuminated him in mid air. The gift of time is a precious thing and I’m always thankful for it… even though i missed dessert! Happy times with Carla DeDominicis - hope you’re doing ok girl xx

Can’t decide whether this makes me feel wintery in summer? Or perhaps summery in winter? How about you??? Either way it’s been fun finding some previously undiscovered gems in my 2025 image bank. Here a female red grouse pops her head up out of a sea of snowy cotton grass on the Northumberland moors. Thanks .clem and for all the fun times last year!
