Greg & Claire du Toit

Wildlife Photographer & Guide

Greg and Claire du Toit are your guides and hosts for this safari. Greg is a professional wildlife photographer who, together with his wife Claire, spent two years living in the south rift valley of Kenya. During this time he  photographed around one waterhole in particular where his mission was to capture images of free-ranging lion on camera.

It took him 16 months to do, and leaving Claire to run the camp it was all worth it in the end, as the image he finally captured, was used by the National Geographic Society to promote his ‘Authentic Africa’ exhibit in Singapore many years later. His waterhole story appeared in the BBC Wildlife Magazine and his time spent in the south rift clinched a cover story in the Africa Geographic Magazine titled ‘Living on the Edge’. He was interviewed by the BBC World Service about how he sat submerged in the water for over 270 hours to get his shot and both Greg and Claire appeared on live NBC television where Claire was more the focus, as the TV host wanted to know how she herself survived the project and stays married to such a mad photographer? Greg has been following and photographing the great migration for the last 15 consecutive years now and his image titled ‘Crossing Frenzy’ depicting a wildebeest migration crossing won a Gerald Durrell Endangered Wildlife Award  in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition back in 2009. Greg and Claire will host you on this safari as you explore ‘real Africa’ and take in the sights of what has been dubbed ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth’.
