Hi, I’m Rachel — your instructor for the iPhotography Safari Course. Since 2007, I’ve been capturing both domestic and wild animals across the globe.
From the sweeping plains of Kenya to up-close encounters with Africa’s Big Five, I’ve spent countless hours photographing wildlife in its rawest, most powerful moments.
I’ve led photography safaris through East Africa’s most iconic parks, helping photographers of all levels create truly unforgettable images.
Through this course, I’ll teach you how to capture breathtaking animal portraits — and show you how photography can inspire awareness and drive real conservation impact.
When you complete this course, you’ll receive a CPD-accredited certificate—a real, recognised qualification that proves you’ve taken the time to invest in your creativity. It’s not just a nice bonus. It’s something you can share, print, frame, or use to mark your progress.

Get expert advice on exactly what to pack, how to prep your camera for fast-moving wildlife, and which settings work best. Rachel shares her go-to gear and helps you avoid common mistakes by showing how to get your kit safari-ready.

No. Rachel shares practical advice for getting the best results with what you already have — whether it’s an entry-level DSLR, mirrorless camera, or a longer lens. It’s not about having the most expensive gear, but knowing how to use it well.
