It's more than just a photography course...

14 - 19 July 2019 at the Thula Thula Volunteers Academy "Limited Space Left"


"Marnie Le Page Absolutely does not get better than this! 💕 Thula Thula is such a special place to learn and practice photography and Kim Mcleod is a great teacher! It has been such an incredible experience - and I keep reliving the experience through my photos!"



Photography is a creative outlet that many of us are passionate about & in my experience, often the technical mambo jumbo kills this passion when you try to take it to the next level.


Passion and photography go hand in hand, for all kinds of photographers, and there are many kinds, the ones that strive for technical perfection, creative, documentary photographers or fashion… but we are all passionate about the chase, a perfect shot, perfect light, techniques or simply capturing that moment in time. How you capture it and connect with your subject is what you show to the world in your photos.


If this sounds familiar, then this course is the perfect escape for you!

Based at the Volunteers Academy, overlooking Mkuhlu dam, we will embark on a zero to hero photography course where you will see your photography evolve day by day, with the incredible Thula Thula herd of elephants and other abundant wildlife that this sanctuary is home to, as your subjects.

First you are going to get reaquinted with your camera, learn to understand it and take back the control of your camera. As much of the technical theory, as possible, has been taken out and replaced with simply explanations which we test practically. We will also touch on the different aspects and styles of photography giving you everything you need to continue in your own unique style of photography when you get back home.


And let’s be honest, we living in a visual age so why not show your world off?


Our days start with coffee and a Manual practical session followed by breakfast and a theory session. After lunch we do another theory session followed by the afternoon game drive where you will put your new skills to practice while enjoying the Thlula Thula experience with the legendary Rangers Promise and Victor!

Every day you will be thinking, “It can’t get better than this” but every day at Thula Thula is absolutely incredible!
