Experience Day: Wildlife - British Wildlife

Overview

Join Nikon School at the British Wildlife Centre where you will have the opportunity to capture stunning wildlife images. We have exclusive access to the Wildlife Centre and animals and will be guided at all times by an experienced keeper. This is a great opportunity to get really close to our native British wildlife, and in some instances, you will be able to enter the animals enclosures while under supervision of the keeper. You will also be accompanied by a Nikon trainer who will be on hand to discuss and demonstrate photography techniques and camera settings, as well as having some of the latest Nikon kit (if available) for you to try out on the day.

Latest course reviews...

Two Nikon School experiences in one week!

After such a great experience at the Red Squirrel day the week before, I was so excited to join another experience, this time at the British Wildlife Centre. I was amazed that we got to go into the enclosures with most animals and be right up close with them, meaning the photo opportunities were incredible. I borrowed a lens from Neil and got to practice getting photos I've never had the chance to capture before, especially with such a variety of animals.
