Drew’s Photography & Safaris

About …

I guess you could pretty much say I’ve spent the majority of my life bouncing around the globe, chasing wildlife. As of 2023, I’ve collected nearly 40 countries in my passport, including accumulating nearly three year’s worth of time, on dozens of trips to Africa. I’ve been behind the still camera and video lens for thousands of hours and been incredibly fortunate to witness some of our wildlife’s most amazing feats; Some cute, some harsh, some beautiful and others hard to even describe without the images themselves. I’ve experienced so many fiery sunrises, on my early morning and late night voyages, it is simply impossible now for me to look back and try to count all the precious moments. But I always try pause for a moment, to appreciate each and every sunset.

I’ve been bitten, fallen, been chased, crashed through the brush, waded through the water, slugged it through the deep snow, sheltered up in the rain and met conditions from 120 degree heat to temps near minus 30F. In this dance with Mother Nature, she created the events that transpired, the backdrop, the foreground and the subject ... I’ve tried to do her justice; To capture and document the epic moments appropriately. Throughout all of my excursions, I have found out places not worth revisiting and those I must return to on an annual basis. Our adventure safaris represent the best of what I believe to be a combination of stellar photographic opportunities, amazing service and deluxe accommodations. We are not a travel agency … We are safari guides and professional photographers. We talk with nature and walk the walk.
