Olifants Game Reserve November 2025

Описание: Greetings and Salutations for 2026. We took a well earned break to Olifants Nature Reserve over the holidays, doing what we love most- bush stuff! As always, it was nothing short of magical. From watching elephants cavorting in the pools to spotting families of giraffe silhouetted against the late afternoon light, every drive delivered moments that reminded us why the wild is best experienced slowly, camera in hand. We were exceedingly fortunate to see multiple leopard sightings adding to our heart-stopping thrill only the bush can deliver — fleeting, powerful, unforgettable. We were lucky and thankful to all those who came out to greet us.
As night fell, the reserve truly transformed . We captured atmospheric night imagery where shadows, stars and subtle movement told a completely different story. This is where video really comes alive — not just recording what you see, but what you feel in the moment.
Back in the studio, we brought it all together using DaVinci Resolve, shaping the footage and images through editing, adding music and pacing to create a cinematic narrative. This is exactly what we teach in our Video Content Aware & Video Editing courses — how to shoot with intention and then edit with confidence, turning raw footage into a compelling visual story. We knew that we would most likely see multiple elephant sightings, so we decided to focus on video footage as such, interspersing imagery between.
In my opinion, video is no longer optional for photographers. If you can shoot and edit well, you future-proof your creative career — and we’re here to show you how. Let us know if you would like to join our short courses.
Our 9 month Photographic Course starts in March 2026.
We have space for 2 more self drive vehicles joining www.getpix at Kgalagadi in October and we repeat our 100% successful 2025 tour to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan - 10 - 26 August 2026.
