Knowsley Safari Workshop and Experience - Liverpool

Knowsley Safari Parkis a superb location with some great exhibits. Our ‘Safari Experience’ day starts with an extended session photographing their pride of lions with unique acccess to the Lion, Tiger and Hunting Dogs before the general public arrives. This means we will have access to the Lion drive through just as they are being released giving us wonderful photographic opportunities of the Lions settling in for the day in the natural setting of their enclosure.

Before lunch we spend time with Giraffes, Meerkat and Otters and then in the afternoon we will take to our safari Land Rovers and drive off the roads around the huge enclosures to get some really fantastic and natural looking shoots of things like Rhino, Cape Buffalo, Wildebeest, Fallow deer, Blackbuck, Lechwe, Eland and Ostrich.

We will get exclusive access to photograph the parks 120 strong troop of Baboons out of the vehicles through wide gauge wire fencing, concentrating on the behaviour of the troop where we can get both group and individual pictures.
