Safari Specialists are very proud to announce the top 3 prize winners of the Bots50th Photo Competition!!

A HUGE thank you and congratulations to our participants, we received well over 1000 entries, with a particular rush at the last minute – of course!

Judging was tough and we called upon a local skilled photographer Lelani Badenhorst to assist with her expert eye as well as a small panel of local community members.

Due to the overwhelming response on the Wildside category and limited entries for the additional categories, we have integrated the categories into 3 overall prizes. Two Prizes for the overall best photographs (1st and 2nd prize) and an additional prize for the Bots 50 Flag Instagram category.

We would like to particularly thank the prize sponsors – Natural Selection, Ker & Downey, Bush Ways Safaris, Mack Air and Wild Horizons. Stay tuned to our blog and facebook pages for more details on these fabulous safari companies over the next few weeks.
