Photo safaris can be a great way to get your feet wet — literally — as a ­budding or developing shooter. Many are led by photographers whose names you will recognize from this magazine. Most ­offer as much or as little help as you want. Some are aimed at specific techniques or styles; many are more general. Information on these trips is ­developing; visit these websites to learn more about each expedition.
