Written by Hello DPC Tribe!
We kicked off our month-long journey through Limpopo, Botswana, and Zimbabwe on Friday. We are travelling north towards Kasane where we will meet up with 6 of our DPC students at the Pangolin Safari Hotel for our Botswana Chobe Safari starting on the 22nd of March, complete with 5-star accommodation! The students are all flying in to Kasane, and we are travelling by car with their equipment to make it easier for them.
Nikon South Africa has equipped me with the Nikon Z8, boasting the latest in animal and bird eye tracking technology. I’m keen to compare its performance with other leading brands like Sony and Canon in capturing wildlife and birds.
Despite challenges such as weak signals and limited internet access, we’re committed to sharing our adventure with you on the DPC Platform. Expect regular updates and insights on our trip as well as the Nikon Z8’s performance in the wild.

Our first stop at Ethabeni Wildside camp in Limpopo – 11 guests from Canon France.

Students extremely impressed with our training which had a huge impact on our facilitator Helen
