looking for a custom, private safari?
In addition to my scheduled group wildlife photography tours, I also offer custom private safaris for photographers and non-photographers alike - tailored to your interests, goals, and travel style. Whether you are hoping to photograph specific wildlife, travel on your own schedule, or create a more personalized experience, I can help design a custom safari built around what matters most to you.
Some guests join me to focus on improving their photography in the field, while others are simply looking to experience incredible wildlife encounters without feeling the need to document every moment themselves. For those who prefer to stay fully present in the experience, I can professionally photograph the journey and wildlife encounters for you along the way. Every safari is customized around your goals and travel style, while I help guide the overall experience to ensure everything feels seamless, personal, and thoughtfully planned from beginning to end.
I work with trusted local partners in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Brazil's Pantanal, India, and Nepal to create seamless, high-quality safari experiences.

Meet the Photographer
Lindsey Arpin
Hi, I'm Lindsey.
I'm a published wildlife photographer, birder, and tour leader with a deep appreciation for animals, wild places, and thoughtful storytelling through photography.
My work is shaped by a lifelong curiosity about wildlife and a desire to understand animals in their natural environments, not just photograph them. I approach photography with patience, respect, and a strong appreciation for behavior, light, and place.
Before stepping into wildlife photography, I spent years immersed in creative work, studying art through painting and cosmetology. That background trained my eye for light, color, composition, and detail, and it continues to influence how I photograph the natural world today.
Today, I lead wildlife photography tours in Africa, Asia, and South America. My trips are intentionally small, supportive, and fun, designed for photographers who want to slow down, learn, and connect more deeply with wildlife.
Whether you're picking up a camera for the first time or are a seasoned photographer, my goal is to foster experiences that feel inspiring, grounded, and unforgettable.
Why Travel With Me
- Small groups (3-5 guests) for a more personal, flexible experience
- Extended time in the field - no rushing between sightings
- Real-time, photography-focused guidance
- Thoughtfully designed itineraries based on light, behavior, location, and species
- A relaxed, supportive environment for photographers of all levels
