Professional and experienced guides knows exactly how close they can get to animals \u2013 safely \u2013 for you to snap a good picture. Get as close to eye-level with your picture subject, and you will create some great shots.<\/li>\n<li>Smartphones are Excellent for Macro-Shots \u2013 Everyone wants to bag an image of a lion, but some of the best shots will come from something smaller scale. Anything from plants to small creatures can be captured very well with a smartphone. Just be sure to check with your guide to be sure it\u2019s safe to get close.<\/li>\n<li>Clip-On Tele-Focus Lenses are Available for Very Little Cost \u2013 Speaking of lions and the like, having a tele-focus lens for your smartphone will make it possible to get good shots of faraway targets. Binoculars can also serve the same purpose \u2013 just be sure there is a small distance between the camera lens and the binoculars\u2019 ocular, and focus first with the binoculars before using your smartphone camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"bdaia-blockquotes bdaia-bqpo-center\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em>\u201c90 percent of the people in a safari vehicle have a camera, and for 70 percent that camera is a smart phone.

Combined with a good \u2018enhancement app\u2019 \u2013 such as the excellent Camera+ for iPhones \u2013 can yield amazing pictures.<\/li>\n<li>Smartphones are Very Good for Wide-Angle Pictures \u2013 Focus on beautiful scenery with wildlife and you will create great memories. Zooming in on pictures (a.k.a, \u2018pinching\u2019) should be avoided as most smartphones only provide digital zoom (equivalent to picture cropping). Better to take the picture \u2018un-zoomed\u2019 and crop it later. Some very advanced smartphones \u2013 including iPhone 7+, 8+ and X \u2013 have a second tele-focus lens, which provides optical zoom capability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bearded and fun, Sperka has traveled the world photographing animals in wild game reserves in South Africa, Namibia, Costa Rica and Yellowstone National Park, as well as in zoos across Europe and the United States. His work has been featured in wildlife magazines, zoo publications and books, including Thanda Cats (2014), his tribute to the felines that make the wilds around Thanda Safari their home.<\/p>\n<p>Guided by his motto, \u201ckeep it simple,\u2019 Sperka offers a wide range of instructional programs to guests of Thanda Safari including a complimentary 30-minute Smartphone Photography Lesson for those staying two nights or longer (subject to availability). All sessions should be booked well in advance.<\/p>\n<p>For a fee, guests can book private game drives in Sperka\u2019s Green Mamba \u2014 outfitted with special photography seats and arms to rest cameras on, plenty of legroom, and even a full martini bar and Nespresso machine \u2014 to test their newfound skills in the wild under his watchful eye. Or if you\u2019d rather enjoy the game drives and have someone else document them for you, Sperka can shoot the experience on guests&#8217; behalf \u2014 from capturing stunning shots of each animal encounter to snapping beautiful images of the guests taking it all in.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to reserve travel at Thanda Safari, please contact<br \/>\nT: +27 (0) 27 32 586 0149; \u00a0E: <a href=\"mailto:re**********@*******co.za\" data-original-string=\"GS5dmWM41oQ1gVw0zbR1gQ==8d4QGwQBhKMkW0BldQL87o6r3Nm2cYgdQ8d+I49q53n+34=\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.

Creating the Aurora Wilderness camp, the three rooms are available to book through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offthemap.travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Off the Map Travel<\/a> until mid-April 2018. After the end of the season, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.offthemap.travel\/aurora-wilderness-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aurora Wilderness Camp<\/a> will reopen in January 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Those staying in the new wilderness rooms will enjoy a cozy cabin which measures 2.5m wide, 4.5m long and 2m tall, and includes a comfortable, wide bed to lie back and take in the night sky; a table; dry toilet; a gas heater with thermostat; and gas stove to ensure a warm and peaceful night.<\/p>\n<p>Guests will also have exclusive use of the cabin\u2019s snowshoes and kicksleds, offering the chance to explore the local area during the stay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wilderness surrounding Kilpisj\u00e4rvi is known for its remote and uninterrupted Arctic tundra,\u201d notes Jonny Cooper, founder of Off the Map Travel and Arctic travel expert. \u201cAway from any manmade light pollution, it is here that that the wilderness camp is placed for the winter, giving guests the best possible opportunity to experience the Northern Lights and simply enjoy the silence of the Arctic plains.\u201d The camp is located 6km east of Kilpisj\u00e4rvi.<\/p>\n<p>The new cabins provide a combination of adventure and comfort. They allow those looking to completely escape from the modern world to be with nature as they hunt for the Northern Lights from their bed. With three mobile rooms available to book, each comfortably sleeping two people, the new cabins combine to create the Aurora Wilderness Camp situated optimally for Northern Lights hunting. Once the winter ice has thawed, the rooms (on skis) will then be relocated to a new home for the following season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6000\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6000\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6000\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Aurora-Wilderness-Camp-3.jpg\" alt=\"Northern lights over Aurora Wilderness Camp\" width=\"850\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Aurora-Wilderness-Camp-3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Aurora-Wilderness-Camp-3-600x404.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Aurora-Wilderness-Camp-3-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Aurora-Wilderness-Camp-3-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6000\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Kilpissafarit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The experience starts at 6pm where an experienced guide transports guests by snowmobile to their room before teaching them how to make a campfire and grill some local sausages. After the wilderness grill, guests will have the camp to themselves to hunt for the Northern Lights and enjoy the peace of the Arctic wilderness. To fuel guests\u2019 Northern Lights hunting, local snacks and hot drinks are provided, with a warming breakfast also included in the overnight experience.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, the Kilpisj\u00e4rvi area has more clear night skies and records more Northern Lights activity than any other place in Finland. Experts have estimated that if the sky is clear, visitors have more than a 70 percent chance of seeing the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n<p>As with any itinerary from Off the Map Travel, every itinerary can be tailor-made to fit the wishes and requirements of any guest. As an example, a 3-night, 4-day itinerary costs from \u00a31599 per person based on two adults sharing on a full board basis. This includes private transfers to and from the Airport in Tromso, accommodation for two nights in a cozy log chalet and for one night in the new Aurora Wilderness Camp including all meals. Other activities are available on request. Flights are additional.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on tailor-made travel itineraries visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offthemap.travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Off the Map Travel<\/a>; call +44 (0) 800 566 8901; email <a href=\"mailto:in**@*******ap.travel\" data-original-string=\"bdSe+IX7\/prDy81kTjjocA==8d4S0bw6JLHl7SJQ0XXV1MTfgTyEsHZ5U3DwK3nP5GSgbQ=\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
