I would enthusiastically recommend Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris to anyone and everyone visiting Jackson Hole!! Whatever your interests or abilities, based on my experience, I feel confident saying that you will be utterly delighted with their services and expertise. I know that I will forever cherish the memories made, the photographs taken, and the skills learned on my excursion with them!
My husband and I visited Jackson Hole for the first time in early April 2023. For him, our trip was business + pleasure. Since I was just along for the ride, he booked me in for their “Premium Tour: Full-Day Grand Teton Photography Experience” on a day he knew he would be in board meetings all day. While my poor husband toiled away, I would get to go out on an 8 hour private tour with a professional photographer & naturalist guide to explore Grand Teton National Park.
Bob Adams [who, I must say, is an absolutely great guy!!] would be my guide & photography coach for the day. Bob got to work ensuring that my Grand Teton Photography Experience would truly be an experience of a lifetime long before the day even began. Almost as soon as my tour was booked, Bob reached out to discuss what I hoped to shoot & what kind of camera gear I have. In order to help me achieve my dream shots, he wanted to have time to familiarize himself with my camera model and come up with a game plan for the day.
When the day arrived, Bob was an exceptional guide! In early April, many roads in and around Grand Teton National Park are closed. Nevertheless, thanks to Bob’s intimate familiarity with the area, I was able to relax and revel in the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Tetons as he ferried me around to explore all the best spots that are accessible during that time of year.
An obvious passion for photography complemented Bob’s familiarity with the lay of the land. Bob not only guided me to the most picturesque locations but, knowing that I am relatively new to photography, he also offered valuable suggestions which helped me to capture some of the best shots I have ever taken! I am extremely grateful for his creative and technical insights; I am unquestionably a better photographer today because of them!
Perhaps most importantly, as I mentioned before, Bob is an all-around great guy! I feel it necessary to mention this fact again because, in truth, all of the expertise in the world won’t make someone who isn’t personable a great guide! I felt completely comfortable with Bob & very much enjoyed our conversation throughout the day.
Long story short: Book an excursion with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris if you’re planning to visit the area – you won’t regret it!!
