"COME PAINT WITH ME"

"Imagine sitting amongst Wild Elephants getting to grips with that intimate detail of your subject, with help, before it moves away!” With such a huge diversity of beautiful scenery, animals, birds , plants and trees in some of Zambia's finest wild locations, opportunities abound.

Let Rory, a qualified Guide, Biologist and Artist, personally be your host and mentor. Picture the scene...Sunset, camera and deck chair; sketching Hippo from a pontoon floating down the Mighty Zambezi, with a glass of wine; the sounds of wildlife, music to the ears.

No prior experience is necessary, just a love of ”the thought of painting" and wildlife.

Non Painting Partners are welcome to come and enjoy the fantastic wildlife, Walking Safari's or Sport Fishing opportunities are available at Zambia’s finest Game Lodges.

Painting group sizes are restricted to six to cater for beginners. For the more advanced, group bookings can be arranged on request and One on One options are available for the advanced.

Safari's are restricted to the Non Rainy season from April (green and cool) to October (hot and dry) to maximise your sunshine days and keep you out of the studio.

Rory offers the opportunity to paint from a number of superb locations in and around Zambia's finest Parks, leaving the luxury and accommodation to the specialists. If you a planning a visit to Zambia why not contact us, we could make arrangements with Lodges that may not offer the opportunity for painiting tuition.


Superb accommodation and cuisine in a casual relaxed atmosphere, are the norm.

With the mobile arrangements for the Safari excursions, we restrict our media to watercolour, sketching and charcoal. Beginners need not worry about art materials, which are provided.

More Advanced Artists might like to bring their own selection of water based Oils or Acrylics if that is their prefered medium. 

A small mobile Art Shop stocking Daler - Rowney products will be available, and basic studio equipment supplied. Please ask for details prior to travelling.
