Our first stop will be the gorgeous and ever playful Meerkats. These little guys and girls will keep you entertained and allow many opportunities to grab some great shots. Mark will be on hand throughout to talk to you one-on-one, and make sure you are utilising your camera to its potential.

We'll then make our way to the Mandrill enclosure to photograph these imposing characters. Along the way you'll have the opportunity to photograph Gorillas and Lemurs. Amazing.

On our way to the Elephants we'll stop off at the Tiger compound and then take a wander through the butterfly house for a change of pace and lenses.


We will photograph many more species during the course of the day. Lions, Servals, Zebras and Leopards to name but a few.
We won't, however be racing from one display to the next to try and photograph every single creature at the Zoo. We will take our time and Mark will show you how to photograph the animals that we do choose correctly. We will discuss optimum settings and look at depth of field, composition, lighting and many other features.
We'll finish our day at the fantastic new Baboon enclosure. This recently completed state of the art facility will give you uninterrupted access to photograph these amazing creatures.
