Wildlife Photography
“I have been to Guyana many times and actually published two books on this amazing country – a hidden jewel of South America. The jewel within the jewel were my two trips with Ashley Holland, owner/operator of Guyana Truly Wild. Incredible is the only word to describe them...we were on a photographic mission, which was such a pleasure as Ash just ‘gets’ the needs of a professional wildlife photographer. The sightings were incredible... ”
Guyana’s interior offers ideal forest, river, and wildlife scenery, perfect for filming and photography. We have hosted many amateur and professional wildlife photographers, film crews, and production units over the years and we welcome you to come spend some time with us. Let us guide you to capture that ideal shot.
If you want to see amazing wildlife you need to go further away from people. Whilst traditional style lodges can offer some great wildlife viewing, we have found that to really experience the best wildlife, the more remote and further into the wilderness one goes, the better the sightings are.
Guyana offers a plethora of scenic landscapes, from mountains to rain forests, savannas to wide, slow-flowing rivers, and rapids and waterfalls. To get those shots, we offer a variety of activities in search of wildlife, including quiet river drifts at dawn and dusk, hikes on forest trails, and night time activities, such as night drifts and hikes with a spotlight.
Many neotropical species are nocturnal. In the beam of the spotlight, we look for Amazon Tree Boas, Frogs, Dwarf Caiman, Paca, Opossums and other rodents. Tapir or Capybara can be spotted; past lucky guests have been treated to an Ocelot stalking along the creek edge. Jaguar, Giant Anaconda, and Giant Otters are right at home here and waiting for your visit.
