The Kgalagadi is one of the best places for wildlife photography in the world. It's an arid region ideal for self drive desert wildlife photography. I share the history of the region and why it is so good for photographing wildlife in africa. Including how the weather affects the wildlife sightings and the best times of year to go on safari.

The water level hides at Zibulo offer some of the most accessible opportunities to photograph birds at water level in South Africa. In this week I'll show you where the hides are and some of the techniques and settings I use to photograph birds in flight and at water level using manual mode and the Canon 7 D mark ii and 400mm F2.8 lens.
