What’s a Photo/Video Retreat?
Essentially, a photo/video retreat is a chilled out way of exploring a destination, learning a skill, and having a lot of fun.
On this trip, you’ll be based in a beautiful villa in Cape Town. From there, you’ll head off on daily adventures to created some epic imagery of the city and region. Also, you’ll find yourself with plenty of time back at the villa to relax, create, or take part in some of the learning sessions that will be on offer.
Oh, and there’s the potential for a safari add-on, but I’ll get to that.
What’s a “Greg Trip”
These are trips operated by Greg Snell. In general, that means that Brendan won’t be around. Although, on this trip there’s a chance he might make an appearance before he heads off to Namibia.
If you don’t know Greg, head over to his YouTube channel to get a bit of an understanding about what he does and who he is.
But essentially, Greg is a travel videographer and photographer with years of experience not only in this field, but as a tour leader and guide. With Greg, you’re in great hands.
