The contests are free to enter. The winner of each will receive an f-stop camera bag worth $360 and a Camtraptions camera trap worth $240.

The Prizes
Luxury African Safari #1
We have an amazing grand prize for you: a 7-day African safari for two courtesy of The Bushcamp Company with a total value exceeding US $12,000! The Bushcamp Company operates Mfuwe Lodge (of Elephants in Reception Fame) and also six small luxury bushcamps in a pristine region of South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. The winner will be able to pick a combination of these camps to stay in! You will find yourself immersed in a remote, unspoilt African wilderness with incredible wildlife-viewing opportunities.
Luxury African Safari #2
We have a second safari for two up for grabs in our bonus giveaway! This giveaway is open to everyone and the winner will be selected at random. All you have to do to participate is download our free Did you know… African Wildlife App.
The winner of each of the three contests will receive a f-stop Mountain Series Tilopa camera backpack (in their choice of colour) with XL pro ICU worth $360.
F-stop create amazing camera bags which are ideally suited for wildlife photographers. They are extremely rugged and can comfortably accommodate bulky and heavy camera equipment. My own f-stop backpack is my primary camera bag and has accompanied me on every single photography trip since 2012.
F-stop has a range of backpacks with varying capacities to suit your needs.
