Its black and white plumage, crest and the habit of hovering over clear lakes and rivers before diving for fish make it distinctive.’ Africa Geographic

Pangolin Photo Safaris operates in the Chobe, Northern Botswana throughout the year.
In our opinion, The Chobe National Park is the best year-round wildlife photography destination in Africa – and that’s why we are based here.
The Chobe is home to an incredibly dense population of pied kingfishers and they make for excellent photographic subjects’. I have the best job in the world teaching photography to our clients up here in the beautiful Chobe National Park in Northern Botswana.’
‘I am one of the owners of Pangolin Photo Safaris who offer a range of packages to people who want to get into or want to improve their wildlife photography skills…we even supply all the camera equipment you will need for free!’ Guts Swanepoel
Guts is using a Canon EOS 80D with a Sigma 150-600mm f5.0-6.3 DG OS HSM.
