Pangolin Photo Safaris operates in the Chobe, Northern Botswana throughout the year.
In our opinion, The Chobe National Park is the best year-round wildlife and nature photography destination in Africa – and that’s why we are based here.
All our game activities – on the Chobe River and on land within The Chobe National Park are hosted by Professional Pangolin Wildlife and Nature Photographers who feature in these films.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or absolute beginner, everyone is welcome at Pangolin Photo Safaris.
It is our firm belief that The Chobe is the best year-round nature and wildlife photography destination in Africa. There is always something to photograph in The Chobe! Add to that the option to photograph from the land as well as the water on our custom photo boats and you have everything you need for a world-class photo safari destination.
Along with the largest elephant population in Africa along, great predator sightings and spectacular birdlife, there is almost everything that you might want to see and photograph on a safari.
Chobe’s location between two other iconic destinations (Victoria Falls and The Okavango Delta) means incorporating our home into extended safari itineraries is also very easy and something we as a company specialise in.

What is your “dream” camera body and lens combo for wildlife photography? Let us know in the comments below…
I am a Nikon shooter,. but this review is very helpful for me as well.I think we all have our own favorites in cameras and lenses, each of us is an individual who prefers a different type of photography .So there is always something for everyone.As long as you are happy :). We also have dreams of buying a better gear, but not always we can simply afford.But I tried to make the best of whatever I have , I need to appreciate.Thank you very much Janine for your great review on both cameras in such a spectacular garden.Very helpful and useful.
Mam, I want to purchase my first DSLR canon 90d with kit lens 18-135 USM for Portraits and Travel photography. Is it good for me as a beginner?
You have mentioned that canon 7d mark ii has 200k shutter life & canon 90d ha 100k shutter life please clear it or explain it properly. But unfortunately you missed that canon 90d has electric shutter also. You can count your camera shutter in 7d mark ii, but it's not possible in 90d. 90d has electric shutter also. Where do you you find that canon 90d has shutter life 100k only please update me or help me . ?
You don't know how to use the 90D…
Great revue. You covered all the bases.
Hi Janine, I appreciate you guys doing reviews like this. As a Nikon shooter, this may not mean as much to me, however I would be interested in seeing a comparison of long lenses. I know that some of you shoot with the Sigma 150-600 and wondering if you have also utilized the Tamron 150-600. It would be great to see a comparison between those two on the same camera body. I have done a side-by-side comparison of the Nikon 200-500 with the Tamron 150-600, and it would be nice to see how the Sigma compares. Thanks for the work you do!
Also, the 7dii raw images can be used with the permanent version of Lightroom 6. The 90D raw images will require a subscription version of Lightroom.
I think one thing to remember is that the 90D is a lot less expensive which is factor for those of us who only get to on Safari once a year 🙂
Thank you very much for the video. Very appreciated. I would only mention that even 90D has the option to tune the autofocus in regarss tracking sensitivity and stickyness, but it's hidden in the custom functions, C.Fn II :Autofocus. Well, I know 7DII's more customizable and better, but 90D has some degree of customization too.
I'm in love with the 90D even tho I'm Nikon mirror less Z shooter, I use my 90D more.
I used a 7D mkii for a number of years. It was a big improvement on the original 7D and was a fantastic wildlife action camera when used in good light. However it's low light, high ISO abilities was still lacking. I also own a 6D and found that I was using it more and more as wildlife here in Wales (particularly badgers which I shoot a lot in available light) is generally found in poor lighting conditions. As a result I sold the 7D mkii in favour of a 5D mkiv, which, although not as fast as the 7D, produces much better quality low light images.
Nice review, I was curious about the 90D’s performance in comparison to the 7D Mk2. I have owned a 7D MK2 since it was first released and it has been a great camera for me. I mainly bought it for photographing birds in flight. I also found that the 7D Mk2 could perform a little better in low light, but for the most part the camera has not disappointed me.
Thanks for taking to the time to show us a comparison between the two cameras! 🙂
