I travelled to SA from the USA and needed a long lens for Kruger. The service provided was top notch and they were always prompt with their responses. Natalie was extremely helpful and worked with me to accommodate my plan changes due to the Covid restrictions. Definitely A+++ for this company and especially Natalie. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

We had 14 nights scheduled at 4 different lodges in "the bush". On day 1 of the fist lodge I realized how inadequate our Iphone camera's would be for the trip. Rico the GM at Makanyi Luxury Lodge (AWESOME PLACE), suggested Africa Photographic Services. With a quick email and text to Natalie she arranged for a great Canon SLR body with 200-400mm lens in compact carry bag to be flown out to us at the lodge in a bush plane. We then kept the camera with us for the duration of the trip. We flew out of JoBurg and she arranged for a currier to pick up the camera right from our hotel. The pricing of all of this service was surprisingly reasonable and now that we've looked back at the hundreds of awesome pictures it was one of the best expenditures of the trip! I'm no professional photographer but the camera was surprisingly easy to use and I had a bunch of fun with it. Dont go into the bush without one! Thanks Natalie for all the help..

We used APS during trip to the Kruger in September - and i can't praise the service & ease of communication enough.
I will definitely use the services again whenever we return to MP province!
Also a shout out to Natalie for being so professional and available to answer questions or have a casual chat about a pic taken that day.

I rented a lens, monopod and bean bag for my safari. Communication from afar was wonderful. When I arrived at the airport, my items were waiting for me. They even went above and beyond to arrange back up arrangements if my flight was delayed. I highly recommend Africa Photographic Services for all rentals.

I was in two minds about booking this service while staying at the Makanyi Game Lodge, but so glad I did. I opted for the two days option, to manage costs, although four days is also possible. Hilton (Kotze) is a tremendous and patient teacher. He took time to understand my abilities (limited) and geared his tutoring to reflect this. He was also careful to understand what I wanted from the photographs and how I would use them. An all round brilliant experience with a great bloke.

I emailed the day before I travelled in the hope that Africa Photographic Services would be able to help - and they did! Very friendly on WhatsApp and my lense was waiting for me on arrival in Kruger National Park. Also a great quality lense with no damage or scratches. Got the perfect photographs I was after :)

We rented three binoculars and one lens from Africa Photographic Services to enjoy our safari in Kruger park. It was a great decision as we were able to travel lighter and at the same time have access to professional equipment.
Natalie assisted us in making sure we had easy logistics for pick up/drop off of the equipment (which happened at the local airport in which we arrived and from where we left).
Communication was perfect. Fast and very easy. We emailed as well as used whatsapp.
The equipment was excatly what we had agreed and it allowed us to take some amazing pictures and enjoy the safari by watching all the animals really close.
Thank you Natalie &team!
