If a trip to the islands of Galapagos or the savannas of Africa happens to be on your bucket list, it’s probably pretty important that, when you do go, you do it right. The scenery has to be magnificent, the wildlife has to be abundant, and the photos have to capture it all perfectly. And if there happens to be a few other memorable activities thrown in too, well, you’re probably not going to be mad about it. If all of this sounds spot on, it might be time to start packing your bags, because the perfect package for you is here. Exodus Travels has teamed up with accomplished wildlife photographers George Kourounis and Stig Brondbo to offer their once-in-a-lifetime Africa Lunar Photo Safari and Galapagos Photographic Charter adventures, designed to sharpen your photography skills.
Africa Lunar Photo Safari
In this spectacular 21-day excursion, renowned explorer and TV personality George Kourounis leads you all around majestic and richly cultured southern Africa. Stops include the gorgeous port city of Cape Town, Namibia’s astonishing desert landscapes and wildlife parks, Botswana’s immense inland delta, and the glorious Victoria Falls on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. And with incredible activities like wine tasting, witnessing the grandeur of the “Lunar Rainbow”, safaris in Etosha and Chobe, and climbing the world’s highest sand dunes, it’s hard to imagine how this trip could get any better.
About the Photographer
George Kourounis is kind of epic. Among the list of “firsts” that he holds is a National Geographic expedition (which he led) where he became the first person to reach the bottom of the Darvaza flaming gas crater in Turkmenistan. No big deal. As for his photography, you can catch his sensational pictures featured in print media around the world. With his help, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be going home with pictures as legendary as the trip they were taken on.
