A photo odyssey with Sara Jenner
I travel across the globe in search of wild and remote places, and have spent many months volunteering for wildlife conservation projects to help endangered species. My love for wildlife and the great outdoors has taken me to all seven continents. Over the past decade, I have travelled extensively in the polar regions as an Expedition Leader in small vessels in the High Arctic, Antarctica, and Sub Antarctic Islands.
As a photographic guide in the heart of Botswana, the enchanting realms of East Africa, and the mystical landscapes of India, I truly lead a life of two wondrous halves.
Photographer & Private Guide
I am a guide, wildlife photographer, and writer. I live in East Cape, South Africa. I am an enthusiastic lover of nature, and have travelled widely in Africa and abroad for wildlife. I spent 12 years guiding full-time in Botswana. Today, I lead small groups of travellers on special interest photographic safaris. Some of my favourite countries to spend time in are- Botswana, India, and Kenya.
I enjoy all forms of nature photography. I firmly believe that knowing your subject’s behaviour helps get good results when it comes to wildlife photography. I shoot with Canon, but am familiar with Nikon and Sony cameras as well. I process my images using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and assist photographers travelling with me using these programs.
I shoot a variety of wildlife related subject matter with big cats and wild dogs being amongst my favourites. My images have been on the cover of both Africa Geographic and the US National Geographic Kids magazine. I am regular contributor of text and images to African Birdlife magazine.

Photographer & Private Guide
My tête-à-tête with wildlife began quite serendipitously in 1996.
As a Naturalist, I mastered tracking tigers in national parks of India like Jim Corbett, Kaziranga, Dudhwa, and Central India’s Kanha and Bandhavgarh, among others.
Going beyond tiger loyalism, I segued into Rajasthan, Gujrat, national parks in South India, and Sri Lanka, guiding wildlife and cultural tours.
Cloistered from the city hullabaloo, I had the honor of working with Sir David Attenborough and Nigel Marvin on award-winning international films like- Tiger: Spy in the Jungle (BBC), Lost Land of the Tiger (BBC), Life of Mammals (BBC), Warriors of the Monkey God (BBC), and Monkey Thieves (Nat Geo). I have assisted acclaimed photographers like Steve Winter and Jonathan Scott with logistics, permits, and location management for film shoots.
27 years into the wild, and it feels like the odyssey has just begun.
Private Guide & Naturalist
Over a decade ago, I quit toeing the line between a desk job and a bush-life to embrace the call of nature. By any yardstick, the adventure has been worthwhile so far.
As a safari specialist trained by &Beyond Africa, I’ve guided guests through the indomitable landscapes of Pench, Panna, Bandhavgarh, and Kanha in central India. A matter-of-fact, single-minded devotion to track big cats and other wildlife has helped navigate these ecosystems with aplomb.
Trained in wilderness navigation, risk management, and outdoor survival, I foster deep respect for the cultures I encounter. My proximity to local communities, training and empowering locals as professional guides, has been life-altering. Every game drive harks back to this homespun ethos of collaboration and deep reverence for nature- the gospel truth.
