10 years on safari with Ingrid!

This year, we travelled to South Luangwa, indeed the land of the leopards. And what a fantastic experience it was! Spotting leopards, together with our fellow travellers, was truly unforgettable. Our guides gave it their all to show us as much as possible of this beautiful area. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication were truly admirable. And then, of course, there is Ingrid, with her boundless commitment. As always, everything was organised down to the very last detail: the specially adapted vehicles for photographers, the beautiful lodges, the drivers… everything was simply perfect. Ten years of safari with Ingrid, and she still manages to surprise us every time. Here’s to the next one!

It was another fantastic trip — my fifth one — this time to South Luangwa in Zambia. As always, everything was organised down to the very last detail, allowing you to completely focus on photography and simply enjoy every moment. The lodges, the organisation, the guides and the drivers — everything was excellent. And then there were the leopards… We saw an incredible number of them, in all kinds of different situations. That made this trip truly special for me and exceeded all my expectations. A wonderful experience, filled with beautiful memories and, of course, far too many amazing photographs!I enjoyed every single moment!

Zambia! An incredible safari destination. We experienced so much more than we ever expected — all our safari dreams came true. Together with a proud Ingrid and wonderful friends, we enjoyed many unforgettable days and magical evenings. The breathtaking nature, the amazing wildlife, the adventure… it simply couldn’t have been better!Thank you, Ingrid, for the perfect organisation and for sharing with us your deep love and passion for the wildlife and the natural world. It is a joy to experience it all through your eyes. Thank you for an unforgettable journey!

Travelling with Ingrid means having nothing to worry about. Everything is arranged for you, and you are simply pampered from beginning to end. Our trip to Zambia was simply SUBLIME! Not a single game drive was boring — quite the opposite. There was always something incredible to see: elephants protecting their calves, a lion cub playing with an elephant’s dung, a leopard that had just killed an impala, another leopard defending her territory… Far too much to mention!And then, of course, the lodges — once again, we were truly spoiled. The guides and spotters were amazing: they see and hear everything! And last but certainly not least (and perhaps most importantly): Ingrid. Her tireless dedication, enthusiasm, energy, care, compassion, tips and tricks, constant presence and friendship… there is simply too much to mention.Thank you to everyone — including our wonderful fellow travellers — for an unforgettable journey. It is definitely one to be repeated! On to our next adventure with Ingrid!

The Africa virus struck again (very contagious and luckily there is no vaccine for it). Another adventure with Ingrid. This time to South Luangwa. High expectations because it would be teeming with leopards, lions and elephants. And as icing on the cake, carmine bee-eaters. They were all there too, and more! Hundreds (actually thousands) of pictures were shot again under the warm and enthusiastic guidance of Ingrid. No effort is too much, that has now become her trademark. Our group was great, with a lot of interaction. The drivers never failed to amaze us time and again with new finds, including phenomenal night drives. Beautiful memories for life….

During the safari, Ingrid pulls out all the stops to give you, as a photographer, the ultimate experience:

-Jeeps modified to give you space to have the best camera angle

-Drivers willing to take you anywhere you want

-Ingrid who gives you "the" tips during the photo reviews to come home with the most beautiful photos

-Locations where you feel at home.

In short, if you go on safari with Ingrid Vekemans, you only have to concentrate on taking the photos because everything else is arranged and is TOP. On to the next safari.

Another wonderful trip!
Went on a photo safari with Ingrid for the fourth time. And now to the fantastic area of South Luangwa, Zambia. We stayed in three beautiful different Camps and had very experienced rangers as guides/drivers. Enjoyed the Wild Dogs with their pups which kept us entertained for a long time. Also had the chance to observe some beautiful Leopards and their cubs, as well as lions and the Carmine Bee-eaters. As icing on the cake we photographed the Milky Way, in the middle of the Bush. All of this under the fantastic guidance of Ingrid, from whom I learned new things again. Also nice fellow travelers, in short TOP.

When I registered for the trip to Zambia, I had set my expectations very high and I secretly hoped that they would be met. So were they met or not?...  What a trip !! Unforgettable! I will always have great memories. It is really the country of lions and leopards, where many other wild animals are also present. The organisation was excellent, the lodges a dream, the food superb, the drivers great and the atmosphere very warm. Herewith I also want to thank TUI for the flawless organisation of airport assistance in all airports. I needed this because of a temporary handicap. Also a very special thank you to Ingrid for your continuing concern, your help, your organisation and your feedback on our photos. Thanks to those positive assessments, we can keep raising the bar.

I have been looking forward to this Zambia trip for a few years and the satisfaction was fully granted. The preparatory meetings and the information provided were followed up so that the preparation was optimal. The further logistics, transport, etc. were all to my liking. Once arrived, all desires were met from my first safari trip so far. I will certainly change that and book a few more trips. In addition to the organisation, the luxury accommodations and guidance on the spot, the wildlife also contributed 100%. A journey to remember with great memories, good photos and to experience again. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

Already my 7th safari with Ingrid, now in Zambia. I had set my expectations very high, because I had already seen a lot and wanted more. And how they were met: top trip! Lions, leopards, wild dogs, elephants, bee-eaters, etc., what a luxury! Also being able to photograph during darkness was a nice challenge. The lodges in the middle of nature were special. And again a very good support from the drivers and Ingrid who always has something new in store. A journey to remember.
