The ACQ team is as diverse as the wildlife they photograph. Coming from different backgrounds, one common thread shared by them all, is their unwavering passion for Africa and the animals that call it home. More so, the ACQ team is dedicated to sharing this passion with people. Their love for Africa and people are evident in the tailor-made experiences they have created to empower wildlife photographers, providing them with platforms to learn, grow and capture some spectacular wildlife images.
