Hi, my name is Mario Paul
I am the owner and Photographic Guide of Wild Photo Africa Safaris. My passion has always been wildlife and that led me to become a Qualified Nature and Back-Up Trails Guide. My interest in photography evolved because of my work. I wanted to show the beauty of our wildlife to the world. Through this, my passion for photography grew and I soon realized I can help guests on my vehicle to take better photos, understand their camera better and how to become creative with their photography. Because of my vast knowledge and experience with wildlife I can help photographers to ready them for a shot before it happens and thus increases the photographer's chances of bagging that perfect shot. This is how Wild Photo Africa was born.

My vision and mission for Wild Photo Africa is to provide the photographer, be it a beginner or a pro, the best possible opportunity and experience to capture that perfect moment in time. We are focused on getting results but equally important for me is that it is an experience when you come on safari with us. Taking photos is only part of what we do, and we want you to be able to experience Africa and have a good time as well. There is no worth in going home with some incredible shots, but you don't have stories and memories to go with those photos. We want to give you the chance fully experience Africa along with getting some amazing photos. Further our aim is to teach our guests about the natural world and its beauty and to explain how every little thing has its place and duty in the natural world. This will also enhance the guests experience because there will be more appreciation of the subjects they are photographing.
