Kim Mcleod Photography The art of capturing the human experience. A spilt second in time captures an eternity in a single frame.

This is what makes me passionate & excited about photography. Trying to capture the unique human experience highlighted by the mystery of conservation and the incredible natural animal behavior.

If you’ve ever dreamt of Uganda for the gorillas, there is so much more waiting for you. 🦍🇺🇬

Read the blog on my website:
www.kimmcleod.co.za

From walking with rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, to the incredible wildlife of Murchison Falls, tracking chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park and, of course, trekking into the forests of Bwindi for that unforgettable gorilla encounter.

And then there’s Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Mburo… each bringing something completely different to this incredible journey.

Uganda is calling, and I honestly cannot wait to go back — hopefully with you! 📸🌿

Want to see the full itinerary? Type, Uganda, in the comments and I will send you the full itinerary 👏

🌕 Think photographing the full moon is easy? Try getting the detail in it… 📸

The moon is actually incredibly bright, even though the sky around it is dark. This is where spot metering can really help — meter directly off the moon rather than the darker sky.

Start around ISO 100, 1/125 sec at f/8 and adjust from there. Your settings will depend on your lens and the light around you.

The goal? Keep the detail in the moon, rather than turning it into a bright white ball.

And don’t be afraid to experiment. Sometimes the simplest subjects are the best way to really learn what your camera is doing. 🌕📸

Some sunsets you watch. A Botswana sunset, you feel. 🌅

After a day of wild encounters, you head back with dust on your boots, magic in your heart and a memory card full of stories. 🐘🐆📸

Africa isn’t something you can describe — it’s something you have to feel. ❤️

Wild. Free. Alive.

Come experience the magic of Botswana through your own lens with me 🌍📸

I recently had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot for Wandering Leopard at Phinda Zuka Lodge while they were on an educational trip — and it really showed me what sets them apart.

They don’t just recommend safari destinations; they experience them firsthand, getting to know the reserves, people, wildlife and what makes each place special and most importantly the wildlife ethics and conservation policies.

So when you tell them what you’re looking for — whether it’s incredible wildlife, photography, luxury, adventure or simply a special escape — they can use that first-hand knowledge to match you with the right safari for you.

That means when they curate your safari, their recommendations come from genuine experience and a real understanding of what you’re looking for.

That personal touch is what I love and respect.

One of my absolute favourites — the Yellow-billed Hornbill!
📸

Shelley Kirkwood captured this beauty on our Africa Experience Photography Course last month at Koro River & Island Camp, Botswana.

Sometimes everything just comes together — beautiful complementary colours, gorgeous light, perfect focus and the right settings, including a lovely low ISO.

Shelley, you absolutely nailed this one! 👏👏👏
I LOVE IT! ❤️📸

Wildlife photography is about understanding your camera… but also being ready when Africa gives you that perfect moment.

The photographer capturing the photographer. 📸❤️

Simone quickly became the one documenting our photography course. Each morning we’d head out for a short drive, take a gentle walk through the bush and finish with coffee. ☕️🌿

There’s something incredibly special about walking in the bush. No rush, no time pressure — just time to reflect, digest all the delicious food and really start seeing the little things around you.

Slowly, without even realising it, you become more comfortable with the camera in your hands. You start looking for the light, noticing leading lines, adding interest to your composition and, just as importantly, learning what to leave out.

It’s about slowing down, looking differently and finding your own way of telling the story through your camera.

These are the moments I love most about teaching photography in Africa. ❤️🌍📸

I’ve had the absolute privilege of watching Simone’s photographic journey unfold over the last few years. ❤️📸

She first joined me on a course at Thula Thula Exclusive Private Game Reserve — an incredible haven for photography, and especially for watching the social interactions of the elephants. Having read The Elephant Whisperer, An Elephant in My Kitchen and The Elephants of Thula Thula, being there made those stories come alive.

Then came Botswana and Koro River Camp. 🇧🇼

It brings me such joy to watch Simone now confidently flick through her settings, know exactly what she wants, and capture it in the beautiful style she has created and loves.

These are the special moments… being lost in Africa with your camera in your hands and a happy heart. ❤️🌍📸
