Photo Holidays - Ethiopia
Our photography holidays to Ethiopia offer an opportunity to photograph
landscapes, architecture, wildlife and lots more. Some of the
accommodation we stay in does not have electricity, so digital
photographers need to be aware of this and plan to bring additional
batteries/cards. We are careful and responsible with 'people'
photography -and will provide guidelines that we ask you to respect. We try to make sure that the people we photograph, especially
from the communities we stay in, receive copies of photographs taken by
Responsible Photography Holiday Clients. This is organised by Gail, Asrat, our guides, drivers and Village Elders.
