Boyd Norton's
Boyd is a pioneer in the nature and outdoor photography workshop field. He conducted his first photo workshop in 1973 in Idaho, a combined photo learning experience with a white water rafting adventure on the Middle Fork and Main Salmon Rivers. Now his photo tours are as popular as ever and are worldwide in scope, covering some of the most exciting locales for photographers. Groups are kept small in number with opportunity for lots of personal attention.
Boyd is a photographic expert on Africa, having made more than 40 trips there over a 25 year span. He has spent almost 1000 days in the Serengeti ecosystem alone and he knows all the secret places for the greatest photographic opportunities.
He is the author/photographer of four books on African subjects, with another due for release by his publisher in early 2010 (the newest book is on Serengeti). He has also made numerous trips to Bali, Borneo, Komodo Island, Peru, Galapagos, Siberia, Belize, Venezuela and other workshop locales.
These trips provide you the perfect opportunity to add some unique coverage to your photo files. And with the small group size Boyd is able to provide a lot of individual attention to help you with your photo needs whether you shoot digital or film.

Some comments from past participants:
"The trip with Boyd far out distanced my highest expectations and hopes. I found the safari not only rewarding in the way of wildlife photography, (jaw dropping at every turn), I also felt it was an incredibly enriching cultural experience. Boyd knew Tanzanians everywhere we went and is obviously loved and respected in his adopted country. I will cherish the memories and photos for the rest of my life. " C. H., Maine
"Your trip was magical, adventurous and safe. We felt so cared for." M. C., Michigan
"Boyd was the key to the total success of this trip. His many years of travel there and the contacts he has, made it so very special. This was not your typical tour of Africa. I cannot say enough about Boyd - his knowledge of the country, his very pleasant personality, his contacts, his relationship with Unique Safaris and their staff, and on and on. You won't find anyone better. I truly hope to travel with him again in the future." (He has, five more times.) B. K., Colorado
"Boyd Norton: He is a great group leader, especially for Tanzania. He knows the area and the people so well that makes everything smooth. Boyd also arranges to leave early each morning to catch the best light for photography, which is great for me." S. C. and L. M., California
"Great pictures, great animals, great guides and great memories!" L.F. and M. V., Texas
