OUR PHILOSOPHY

“What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man. All things are connected.”

Chief Seattle, 1854

From a letter written to President Pierce, as his people were being forced from their ancestral land.

Wildlife Photography & Film Specialists

We are Specialists at viewing and photographing Canada 's wildlife

Our particular specialty is getting our customers as close as possible to Canada 's wildlife without disturbing their habits. We do this through our knowledge of the best locations, timing and viewing techniques, and through an intimate understanding of animal behaviour. We provide the highest level of professional service by maintaining small group sizes (max. 5 per group and usually just 2 or 3 customers per guide), personalized instruction and attention to detail. We use vehicles suitable for photographing and filming wildlife in a safe, controlled manner.  

Quality Photographs & Film Footage

Canada Photo Safaris consistently produces the highest quality results

The key to our success is versatility and adaptability. We are not restricted to any particular area or operational zone. Our company is structured so that we can adapt to the changing habits of the animals we seek. This is particularly important in this era of changing climate and global warming. As the timing of annual cycles adapts to the changing seasons, we too are able to adapt and change our itineraries and techniques. We have a database of wildlife biologists, fish and wildlife officials, park wardens and guides who all help to keep Canada Photo Safaris up to date and informed.
