Amy Jackson plays a wildlife photographer during her trip to the Qwabi Private Game Reserve in South Africa.
Amy’s South African vacation allowed her to practice wildlife photography
Experiencing the wilderness of South Africa is the dream of most wildlife photographers. We never expected Amy Jackson to fall in love with this activity as well. She is currently on a South African safari, where she is giving wings to her hobby of wildlife photography. The actress spent the “most incredible days” bush walking and practising her photography skills at Qwabi, a private game reserve that offers an authentic safari outing, located in one of only two UNESCO-declared savannah biospheres in Africa. She shared the album on Instagram which shows submerged glimpses of the southern masked weaver bird and hippos, all under the supervision of safari guide Marlon du Toit.

Qwabi is famous for its diverse flora and fauna. Within the reserve, photographers can appreciate the true beauty of nature. Located in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, the area is home to the “Big Five” roaming freely in the reserve. Big Five refers to the most dangerous wild animals in Africa that can be hunted on foot, including lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo. This gives wildlife photographers a rare opportunity to capture the legendary wild animals in their natural habitat.

Spotted leopards, giraffes, zebras and brown hyenas are also found in Qwabi Private Game Reserve. You just have to be a little patient to spot the magnificent ground hornbill, which has now become a critically endangered species. Unusual birds such as the white-backed night heron and the aardvark can also be captured on camera. Qwabi serves as a refuge for a population of white rhinoceros and has one of South Africa’s largest breeding Cape vulture colonies, making this place perfect for spotting some birds of prey.
For a more thrilling experience, join the rangers and go on a safari walk to discover a hidden world of tiny creatures, amazing plants and other geological wonders.
