My big question if I ever managed to go on safari was what lens would I need for such an epic once in a lifetime photography experience. African Photographic Rental Services was recommended by my lodge (Makanyi- highly recommend) as well as reviews I saw on Trip Advisor. I rented a Nikon 80-400 lens to go with my Nikon D750. It was a much better lens that what i owned and was very reasonable priced for the 5 days I needed it. Being able to bring just my camera body was such a huge help on a trip where we were very limited with our luggage and weight. This meant I didn't have to carry a separate camera bag. My camera body went in my carry on easily. They delivered to my hotel in Johannesburg, the day before my safaris began, and I dropped off at the airport as I left the Kruger area. Communication was very easy. I had my iphone 14pro and a sony rx100vii for the rest of my bucket list trip. Now to sort thru my 2500 pics taken on safari!! (5000 total!) LOL. Thank you. Highly recommend taking advantage of this service. Photos shared are straight out of the camera. No editing.

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..

On planning a trip travelling through Africa from Canada, and without wanting to travel with a large and heavy zoom lens, I was looking for a rental option while in the Kruger area to use during game drives - and I'm very glad I found Africa Photographic Services.

Hilton was very responsive prior to my trip with any questions I had, and despite a minor mix-up after I'd landed and gone to pick up my rental, Hilton (while in the bush, driving to areas to get service so he could contact me) was quick to rectify the situation.

I rented the Nikon Safari package (with the 80-400mm lens), and the equipment was in good condition, and was in a sturdy and large bag I could put my other camera + lens in, as well as other gear.

The price was reasonable, and I very much appreciate Hilton's help and service. Thanks to Africa Photographic, I was able to get shots of a distant leopard and rhino, and memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend!

We were stuck last minute without a camera coming to Kruger park. We contacted Africa Photographic Services the day before - Hilton reaponded immediately and helped us a lot!
We ended up renting the nikon basic safari kit - camera was in greay shape and we managed to get some amazing photos with it.
The set was ready for us at the place of pickup and everything went very smoothly.
Great service, great results and great people! Couldn't recommend more.

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.

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 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.
