Photography Holidays
Travel Photography is a passion at Exodus
On most Exodus holidays there are fantastic opportunities to get behind the lens of your camera and take those dream shots. Our style of travel means that you're up early, enjoying the best light of the day as the sun rises and sets. We have award-winning photographers in the office to provide advice pre trip, and also run a number of specialist dedicated travel photography holidays.

Walking in Madeira - 31 March 2012
Sitting in the Atlantic Ocean to the north west of Africa, the islands which make up Madeira are blessed with regular sunshine which enables bountiful sub-tropical vegetation to grow. This volcanic botanical paradise provides endless photographic opportunities. Sue Bishop specialises in landscape and flower photography and will be on hand to help you capture the best of the varied scenery and colourful spring blooms as you embark on daily walks on the island’s many paths and levadas.
Photographic Special with Andrew Newey
Ethiopia: The Omo Valley – 13 October 2012
Andrew Newey specialises in people photography and joins us on this special departure to a unique part of Ethiopia. Over 20 different tribes live in The Omo Valley, all with their own cultural identity. Shopping in a local market you may well rub shoulders with people adorned with lip plates, elaborate body painting or colourful jewellery.
Travelling sensitively, you may get the chance to take photos of some of the people you meet – always only with their permission. The wildlife of the Rift Valley Lakes also presents some great opportunities.
NEW for 2012!
Due to the immense popularity of our photography trips, we have developed two new trips to tempt enthusiasts.
Finnish Wildlife Weekend
As the winter snow melts away, the wilds of Finland quickly turn into a paradise of majestic pine forests and crystal-blue lakes. Bears, beavers, wolves and the elusive wolverine all inhabit this beautiful area. During the trip you will benefit from the expertise of Antti Leinonen, the highly accomplished Finnish photographer and writer whose work has appeared in many prestigious publications, including National Geographic.
Wildlife & Photography in the Picos de Europa
Spend 8 days prowling the outstanding Spanish mountainside on this trip, specially designed for those with a keen eye for a great shot. The wealth of animals is incredible: bears, wolves, boars, chamois, golden eagles and griffon vultures all live in this dramatic landscape.
2012 Specialist Photographic Departures with Paul Goldstein
Most of our 2012 Specialist Photographic Departures with Paul Goldstein are sold out already. However, there are still spaces on our exclusive Exodus charter of Spitsbergen in Depth which departs on 19 June 2012. To find out more or to register your interest for future departures please call our Private Groups Team on 0845 330 6009.
Land of the Jaguar Trip code: AAH (led by Paul Goldstein) 2012
Search the Pantanal wetlands for the largest feline predator in the Americas. This enigmatic and elusive big cat is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and feline enthusiast Paul Goldstein will be putting his photographic expertise to excellent use in this new trip to Brazil.
Kenya Photographic Safari - Trip code: AYX (led by Paul Goldstein) 2012
Fabulous migration wildlife and plenty of time allowed for photography on the plains of East Africa. This safari embodies all of those fantastic images and does it in superb style - a classic safari in a classic destination. When you only have a relatively short time in Kenya it is essential to maximize it in the reserves and not waste time travelling all over the country.
See the Big Cat Diary news pages from 2009 safari trips led by Paul.
Spitsbergen in Depth - Trip code: PND
Spitsbergen in Depth - Exclusive Exodus Photographic Charter - 19 June 2012 (ship only departure date)
Led by Paul Goldstein and David 'Woody' Wood, this is the only Spitsbergen Photographic Charter we will be running in 2012; it promises to be very exciting. Throughout the voyage binoculars and scopes are permanently on the lookout for walrus, foxes, birds and particularly Polar bears. Paul has guided the Svalbard Archipelago many times and intends to maximise every moment of the 24-hour daylight. He is fascinated by Polar bears and intends to work every moment to ensure this expedition is special in this respect. We strongly advise you to book early to avoid disappointment.
