Southern Africa is a paradise for artists and photographers. With its picture perfect landscapes, scenic splendour, wildlife and indigenous tribes, there is something to interest everyone. Favourite subjects include Namibia’s stunning sand dunes, South Africa’s diverse wildlife, Zambia’s magnificent Victoria Falls and Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Specialist lodges throughout Southern Africa run residential courses for beginners and professionals in various media, so be creative and enjoy “a brush with nature”.
