Eye To Eye Photographic Hide
A sunken hide at the water's edge puts you eye to eye with elephant, puku and whatever else the afternoon brings.
The Eye To Eye hide is Puku Ridge's ace: a concealed position at waterhole level, where the animals come to you. Elephants loom overhead; puku, impala and warthog drink at arm's length; and the photographs are the kind that need no explanation.
Sessions are guided and unhurried — photographers can wait for the light, and non-photographers simply get the wild at its closest.
