Namibia: Vlog series - "LOCKDOWN: Photographers STUCK on SAFARI in AFRICA!"

Imagine being stuck in a Game Reserve in Namibia due to a global standstill. Imagine being the only guests in such an environment. This is exactly what happened to three conservation photographers in Namibia during the worldwide coronavirus lockdown. Jenni Lisacek and Chase Teron came to Namibia to take part in Donal Byd's photography workshop at Erindi Private Game Reserve, a protected reserve in central Namibia. While there, the coronavirus pandemic broke out and countries around the world - including Namibia - went into lockdown. Travel bans were imposed and further restrictions made travelling close to impossible. Let thing let to another and the three were unable to leave Namibia. So the management of Erindi Private Game Reserve invited Jenni, Chase and Donal to stay - and this is what they did. As the last remaining guests on a 70,719 hectares game reserve, they have the entire place to themselves. Jenni, Chase and Donal are documenting their "self isolation" at Erindi on Youtube. "LOCKDOWN: Photographers STUCK on SAFARI in AFRICA!" lets us follow their adventures as the three - accompanied by their guide Steve - explore the largest private game reserve in southern Africa. Kudos Jenni, Chase, Donal and Steve!


btw - also while in self isolation at Erindi Private Game Reserve, Jenni, Chase, Donal have launched the first ever in-field wildlife safari photography workshop. Click here for more information!
