What to Photograph
Look for shafts of light through trees, forest paths, leaf detail, misty mornings, lodge surroundings, seasonal colour and wide views on clearer days.
Wildlife Approach
Keep a respectful distance, stay on appropriate paths, avoid disturbing habitats and use quiet observation rather than chasing a photograph.
When to Go
Early morning and late afternoon often give softer light. Autumn can be especially rewarding for colour, texture and atmosphere.
