About Mike Dexter



 
Professional wildlife photographer Mike Dexter

I am a conservation and wildlife photographer, photojournalist and private photographic safari guide with 16 years of experience in some of Africa’s most remote wilderness areas.

Blending a degree in photojournalism with a FGASA Level II guiding qualification I bring a unique perspective to the field, combining technical skill with deep ecological understanding and impelling storytelling abilities. My career began as a full time safari guide but I quickly evolved a drive to document the raw beauty and urgent stories of Africa’s wild spaces.

Today I focus on conservation photography, creating honest, impactful imagery that supports NGOs, protected areas and conservation-driven travel. My work highlights the people, landscapes and species at the heart of Africa’s conservation efforts and has been featured in numerous international travel and wildlife publications.

Alongside my fieldwork I lead private and small-group photographic safaris across Africa. I have a calm, encouraging teaching style and am able to help guests elevate their photography through thoughtful vehicle positioning, storytelling techniques and a deeper connection to wildlife behaviour.

For me, photography is more than a final image, it’s a tool for change, a record of impact and a way to connect people to the wild. Whether documenting conservation in action or guiding a client to their best ever leopard shot my goal is always the same: to tell meaningful stories through images that matter.
