OKAVANGO DELTA AND CHOBE, BOTSWANA
Discover Wildlife and Nature Photography DestinationsThe Okavango Delta in Botswana is a paradise for wildlife photographers. It spans over 15,000 square kilometres and this vast inland delta boasts incredible species diversity, making it a perfect destination to capture the beauty of African wildlife. The delta offers abundant opportunities to photograph iconic mammals from majestic elephants and buffalo to stealthy predators like lions and leopards. The Delta is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, with over 400 bird species, including colourful bee-eaters and regal fish eagles.
The unique chance to take photographs during boat trips along its winding waterways set the Okavango Delta apart. These trips provide a close-up view of wildlife as they gather at the water’s edge, allowing for intimate and captivating shots.
About Me
Bruna Mentrup
TUTOR
I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
