Ad Hoc Wildlife Photography Trips for 2026 & 2027
For the past few years, I’ve organized pre-planned photography trips. The feedback was always positive, but timing often became the biggest challenge; many people were already booked with other commitments or had trips too close together. That’s why I’m flipping the model.
Instead of fixed dates and itineraries, I’m introducing Ad Hoc Wildlife Photography Trips. This approach is designed to give you more flexibility and make it easier for small groups to come together. Unlike most photography tours that require you to commit to set departure dates, these trips form only when there’s enough aligned interest.
How It Works
- Destinations: Costa Rica, Patagonia, and Africa
- Group Size: Small groups of 3 to 8 participants
- Custom Options: I can curate private trips for individuals, couples, and private groups for a truly personalized experience.
Process:
- Choose from a list of suggested dates based on seasonality and wildlife patterns, or request your own preferred dates and location.
- If there are matching entries, I’ll build a custom itinerary.
- Once I have the minimum number of interested people for a trip, I’ll confirm the itinerary, dates, and pricing for your review.
- Up until this point, there is no cost and no obligation to book. A deposit is only required once you approve and confirm a trip.
Why Ad Hoc?
Most wildlife photography trips in the market are pre-scheduled group tours. They can be excellent, but the fixed dates often create scheduling conflicts, and larger groups sometimes make the experience less personal. My Ad Hoc model turns the process around:
- You influence timing: Trips form when participants’ schedules align, rather than forcing you to fit into pre-set dates.
- Smaller groups, bigger focus: With only 3 to 8 photographers, everyone gets personal attention.
- No risk upfront: There’s no cost or obligation until a trip is confirmed and you’re ready to commit.
- Custom-Tailored options: Looking for something specific? Let me design a private experience for a fully personalized journey.

Costa Rica - 8 nights
PUMAS OF TORRES DEL PAINE, Chile 8–10 nights
Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia is one of the best places on earth to photograph wild pumas, offering an unparalleled chance to observe these elusive big cats against a backdrop of dramatic mountains, golden grasslands, and turquoise lakes. The park’s thriving guanaco population provides abundant prey, making sightings more frequent than almost anywhere else in the world. With vast open landscapes and stunning light, photographers can capture intimate wildlife moments as well as breathtaking scenes that combine the majesty of the puma with the raw beauty of Patagonia.
Patagonia circuit 10–14 nights
A Patagonia circuit offers wildlife photographers an extraordinary variety of subjects, from the elusive pumas of Torres del Paine to soaring Andean condors riding the mountain winds. Along the coast, southern right whales and orcas provide dramatic marine encounters, while King Penguins gather in rare colonies that feel almost otherworldly. Towering glaciers carve through rugged landscapes, adding a sense of scale and drama to every shot. This combination of iconic wildlife and awe-inspiring scenery makes Patagonia one of the most rewarding regions in the world to capture with a camera.A Patagonia circuit offers wildlife photographers an extraordinary variety of subjects, from the elusive pumas of Torres del Paine to soaring Andean condors riding the mountain winds.

AFRICA 8–10 nights
An African safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for wildlife photographers, home to the iconic Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino, as well as an incredible variety of other species. Expansive savannas, thornveld, and riverine forests provide dramatic backdrops for close encounters, while golden light at sunrise and sunset creates perfect conditions for unforgettable images. From massive herds of elephants to vibrant birdlife and stealthy predators, every drive offers the chance to capture the raw beauty and diversity of Africa’s wildlife in one of its most abundant settings.
The Experience
These trips are designed for photographers who want to immerse themselves in the experience of capturing wildlife in its natural environment. They are also learning opportunities. In addition to learning from experienced and knowledgeable local guides, I’ll be personally interacting with every participant, sharing photography tips, guidance, and instruction tailored to your level of experience.
The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, but always focused on capturing amazing images. Whether you’re new to wildlife photography or an experienced traveler with years behind the lens, you’ll enjoy being part of a small group that shares the same passion.
