Find Your Next Photography Trip

Kevin, There's no way to really repay you for what you taught us. If I thanked you a million times, it still wouldn't cut it. The best I can do is pass along that knowledge to my photographer friends who will be extremely jealous after I show them the pictures! It wasn't just about the pictures and you made us all feel like we were your friend. It was pretty special.

He has been reliable and willing to go the extra distance for his clients.

We wanted to share Africa with our family and friends, and we knew Kevin Pepper and Akari Photo Tours would be ideal for our group. Kevin's travel and photo expertise made it a very smooth trip and included everything we had asked for and more. We did it all: Arusha Cultural Center, Shanga, Ngorongo Lookout, Olduvai Gorge, a Maasai village, luxury lodges, luxury tented camp, game drives in Ndutu, a sunrise balloon flight, bush flights, tiger fishing on the Rufiji River, and the one and only brewpub in Dar es Salaam... fantastic experiences everybody will remember the rest of their lives. Well done Akari!

Akari makes it look easy to always get us in the right place at the right time. My drone photography skills improved greatly due to their inspiration and patient coaching in a fun atmosphere.

Amazing trip! Go with this company!! HIGHLY recommended. I was lucky enough to participate BOTH Yellowknife (Sept) and Fairbanks (Feb) Northern light photo tours and both were excellent. I was very happy with accommodation and photography host's instructors. As always, learned lot and I improved my photo skills! Every night, our photo instructors reaching out to weather forecast, Northern lights forecasts and road conditions to bring best photo opportunity for us. Driving long distance, walking around snow cover area and encouraging us to find great spot for photographing middle of the nigh! Thank you for your hard work! Loved it every moment - I had SOOO much fun! Yes, I would go back again (both trips)!! I would highly recommend to others 100% plus! Thank you Kevin, James and Mindy for helping me capture wonderful images! Looking forward to join another Akari Photo Tours!

My first photography workshop was with Kevin Pepper in 2014; Nova Scotia. I knew I made a good decision when he rescued a very expensive lens that I let roll out of my camera bag into a puddle of water at Peggy’s Cove. Kevin’s patience, a great sense of humour and excellent technical and composition tips made for me, an inexperienced landscape photographer at the time, a memorable workshop. Since then, it’s been workshops in Newfoundland, the Yukon twice, Mongolia, Namibia and Paris; all with Kevin. His knowledge of these and other locations and with his local contacts, means a key understanding of the best locations and also the ability to make quick changes due to weather or other conditions. Logistics with regard to accommodation and meals have never disappointed; even a last-minute birthday cake when it came up it was a client’s birthday on a particular day, demonstrates his level of care.
