Project Description

The Wild Shots initiative engages with ten unemployed youth from disadvantaged communities, teaching them about conservation and nature through photography. This culminates in a game drive at our concession. Every year they will be running workshops at our camp. We are looking for camera equipment so that they have the means to pursue photography as a career. Some ideas we have are for Wild Shots graduates to post photos in our lodge and sell them to guests (with the proceeds going to the photographer), hire graduates to photograph guest experience and charge a daily fee, and hire graduates to document some of our conservation and community work.
