Custom Photo Vehicles

ZIMANGA’S CUSTOM PHOTO VEHICLES

Due to many enquiries regarding Private Vehicle and Guide availability in recent times we decided to add custom-built photography vehicles to our fleet of Land Cruisers.  For those seeking space, comfort and lower photography angles these vehicle are hard to beat.  Zimanga now has 4 of these vehicles that offer unbeatable photographic angles when on safari.

The ultra-comfortable setup can seat up to 4 guests for standard safari drives, with more spacious seating, a padded bin between seats where all your additional equipment can be placed within easy reach, and adjustable padded armrests which slide up and down to double as camera support.  The biggest drawcard of these vehicles though is for usage of a pair of photographers, where two opening ports offer significantly lower and immersive photography angles on subjects which simply cannot be approached on foot.  A pair of removable mattresses are at hand if you choose to lie down in wait for the action to happen.  The use of a beanbag is recommended which allows free movement of your lens through the ample space provided for low angle photography.  Recommended lenses for this vehicle are longer lenses in the range of 200-400mm, with a wide-angle lens on standby in the bin between the seats

Private Vehicles and Guides can be booked at an additional cost at the Lodge on a per-vehicle basis.  With the vehicle only hosting two photographers for low-level photography availability is limited.  These low-angle vehicles are included in Exclusive Use bookings.
