1. Get to Know Your Driver and Respect Them
On an African photographic safari, your driver knows more than you do. Do not ignore their advice. Most grew up in the wildlife park or in the area where you will be photographing. They are familiar with all of the wildlife and their knowledge is unequaled. They know all the animals, especially the ones you want to see. They know their habits, territories, and personalities. A good photographic safari company will have drivers that know how, when, and where to position the truck. If you find yourself in a position that you do not like, or if you think there is a better position, simply inquire and ask what they think.
