ANNOUNCING EJ’s FIRST PHOTO CONTEST!
You simply cannot get a better subject for stunning photos than the exciting wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and beautiful people that you encounter in Africa. It’s truly a photographer’s paradise. We have been blown away by the photos that our clients have taken while on safari and we think it’s time they get some recognition! See for yourself!
