The mission at Solo Sister Safari is to provide must-in-a-lifetime experiences photographing wild cats and other iconic wildlife in the African bush. We pride ourselves on selecting the best viewing opportunities that South Africa has to offer, unique and special attractions, photo mentorship, and guiding that will create an incredible experience that goes beyond the photos you come home with.

A compilation of my wild moments in some of the times I have enjoyed Africa. Please use discretion if you are sensitive to moments in Nature, as there are a few clips that some people may not enjoy.
This is a compilation of the simple moments shared with African Wildlife. It is calm, relaxing, and a moment to just peek into what Mother Earth holds in gentle balance. This is what you can expect on a guided safari with Jen.

Meet Jen Kucherawy
Certified Field Guide and Wildlife Photographer

Residing in Alberta, Canada, I am may not seem like the typical African Safari Guide – because I am not typical by any stretch.  But I am one none the less.

As a wildlife photographer, I am aware that, most often, good photographs enhance the guests’ experience. This would be true of guests that are either keen photographers themselves, or non-photographers who simply want to have their special memories captured professionally so they can relive their safari for the rest of their lives.

I do not consider myself like other ‘photographic hosts’.  The main aim of my work has always been to share my love of the outdoors and to use my photographic experience to convey the wonder of the wilderness.  I do much more than show people how to ‘point-and-shoot’, I use the camera to interpret the safari for the guest, so that they get much more out of the experience.  Along with technical expertise, there is an important creative element that needs to explored and nurtured in the moment  – so that each photograph becomes a story.

During the safari, the guests enjoy my undivided personal attention and support.  Because I am a certified guide as well, I have experience with understanding and predicting an animals behavior which can assist guests in preparing for a bird about to fly, or a lion about to arise from his slumber.  It might just be useful to mention that I can also add services such as photographic editing expertise as well as video tuition.

This is what you get:

*  A dedicated professional photographic guide with a comprehensive knowledge of birds, animals, habitat and the environment

*  Certified Field Guide Association of South Africa & Level III Tracks & Signs

*  I am a former Canon DSLR user and a current Sony mirrorless system user. I also have experience using the Ninja V recording equipment.

*  Editing images is just as important as taking them in the first place.  I can give tuition in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC, Topaz and Luminar software.  For video I am fluid with Camtasia and imovie programs.

*  I have also developed numerous training manuals for my guests to download if needed, for practice, pre-departure.

*  Video is becoming just as popular as photography, and I am well-versed in the technical and creative aspects of video.

*  I am also experienced in handling any level of photographic competence – I can even work with you on your smartphone!

After the safari, you will also be provided files that can be turned into a personal coffee-table book with your own images or with images that I have captured on your behalf.  This would be a unique and personal Memory Book of your stay, and a unique and permanent visual journey of Africa.  In addition, a video montage of our experience will be provided to you to enhance your recollection of the captured moments we shared.  Alternatively, if you prefer to order a book predesigned by myself, I am happy to oblige you.

Let me join you on your Safari adventure and help you fall in love with AFRICA. I strive to be the Ultimate Safari Photographic Guide and Host.
