Based at the tranquil Maswiri Lodge in northern Limpopo, guests enjoy a perfect balance of comfort and wilderness. The lodge features five en-suite, air-conditioned chalets set around a magnificent baobab tree, offering privacy, serenity, and sweeping views of the surrounding bushveld. Communal spaces, including a lookout deck and inviting dining area, provide ideal settings for relaxation, reflection, and shared storytelling after time in the field.

Photographically, the workshop focuses on capturing iconic baobab trees under pristine night skies, with exceptional Milky Way visibility during the dry winter months. Guests will explore wide-angle nightscapes, long-exposure star trails, and creative compositions, complemented by high-key fine-art sessions that encourage a bold, minimalist approach to landscape photography.

Expert guidance is provided throughout, from in-field shooting techniques to comprehensive post-processing instruction in Lightroom and Photoshop. You’ll learn how to refine workflow, blend exposures, manage noise, and bring out the full atmospheric impact of your images.

This workshop is more than a photographic escape, it’s a creative retreat into one of Africa’s most magical environments, offering inspiration, growth, and unforgettable imagery.
