What an amazing trip! We had some absolutely amazing sightings, and Sam's guidance helped me get my favourite picture I've ever shot! The guide and whole staff were a pleasure at the lodge and helped make it a truly memorable experience. Thank you Sam!

There is a reason so many people return to Sam and RAW Photographic for their safaris. He consistently delivers memorable experiences in fantastic locations that you simply fall in love with. Great drives, great food and great company!

My family and I had a fabulous time in Madikwe at Last Word Lodge . From the minute our feet hit the JNB airport until the moment we left the lodge, we were taken care of and treated like royalty. We would 100% book again with Sam and stay at Last Word. Not a detail left behind. Such wonderful memories we have to take with us and enjoy forever!

RAW Photographic Klaserie Photo Safari — An Experience to Remember Our RAW Photographic Klaserie Photo Safari was truly an exceptional experience from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The accommodations in Klaserie and at Nzumba were excellent, comfortable, and far beyond what we expected. The hospitality throughout the entire trip was outstanding. We were surrounded by beautiful scenery, incredible wildlife, wonderful people, and an atmosphere that made the entire experience so special. A huge thank-you to Samuel Cox and the entire RAW Photography team for making this such a memorable safari. The company was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the people we shared this experience with made the trip even better. Every day brought incredible wildlife sightings and countless opportunities to photograph some amazing animals. What made this trip especially valuable to me were the photography tips and instruction. I learned so much from Sam and Jordi Woerts the team—not only about wildlife and finding great subjects, but also about how to improve my photography and make the most of every opportunity in the field. The surroundings were breathtaking, the hospitality was exceptional, the food was wonderful, and the wildlife sightings were unforgettable. But what really stood out was the people and the genuine passion they have for photography and creating an incredible safari experience. I would give this trip the highest rating possible. It was absolutely wonderful, and I would highly recommend RAW Photography and Samuel Cox to anyone looking for an unforgettable photographic safari experience. And perhaps the greatest testimony I can give is this: I would absolutely book another trip with RAW Photography, Sam, and the team. I hope this isn’t our last adventure together. Thank you, RAW Photography, Sam, and everyone who made this journey so special. Until the next safari! 🐘🦁📸❤️

Another great photography tour with Sam Cox and RAW Photographic. This was my 5th tour with them and as usual it didn't disappoint. Sam has long standing partnerships with the lodges which results in exceptional service and respect. We stayed at Umkumbe Lodge, within the Sabi Sands Reserve which has open borders with Kruger National Park and on most games drives we only had to travel a short distance from the lodge before we came across a wildlife sighting. Whilst out on game drives Sam always consults with the guides/drivers to get the vehicle in the best position for photographs and is always aware of the available lighting and weather conditions. Between the game drives Sam is available for consultation about photography processing. I can highly recomend RAW photgraphic for both experienced and novice photographers or even non photographers. His trips are always a lot of fun.
