I’m Andrew Aveley, a wildlife photographer and private guide right here in sunny South Africa. My life’s all about capturing the magic of light, wildlife, and birds, and sharing these epic moments through my lens.

My Journey
From the sun-baked deserts of Namibia to the lush landscapes of Kenya, I’ve snapped shots across Africa’s most iconic spots. My adventures have taken me to the wilds of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and the hidden gems of South Africa, including the Greater Kruger Private Reserves and the legendary Kruger National Park.
I fell in love with wildlife photography when I was a kid, and it’s turned into a lifelong passion. I’m all about capturing the natural world’s essence and bringing its beauty to life in every snap.
