T


his is an instructional painting safari
with the aim of capturing the earthy
tones and essence of wild Africa in
evocative paintings and sketches. Hazel will
be with you every day, assisting you with
your paintings as appropriate. You will be
able to sketch from the safari vehicles and
also complete small paintings on game
drives as you gain confidence. Hazel will
then give demonstrations and workshops
back at the lodge to help you translate your
experiences into paintings. We also hope to
provide the opportunity to paint portraits
of local people. Hazel will be working in
watercolour, but all media are welcome.
Hazel Soanis a versatile and talented
artist, an excellent teacher and her
enthusiasm and love of Africa are
infectious. Her wildlife paintings capture
the dust and heat on the plains and the
movement of animals. Her African portraits

are a splash of colour and brilliantly
capture people’s emotions. Hazel has a
warm and generous spirit, and travelling
with her in Africa is very special.
This is a pioneering painting safari to
South Luangwa. The park is densely
populated with a diversity of wildlife.
You should see pods of hippos and plenty
of crocodiles, lots of antelope species,
hartebeest, reedbuck, wildebeest,
waterbuck, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, lion,
wild dog, leopard and elephant. The
opportunities for painting wildlife are
outstanding, particularly at this time of
year, which is just before the rains when
animals congregate at ox-bow lakes.
Your luxury safari lodge is located inside
the park by the main gate. It is a perfect
base for a painting safari, because it is
located in the area of the highest

concentration of wildlife in the park
and you can paint wildlife from your
own verandah. All 18 cottages either
overlook a frequented ox-bow lake
or the hippo pool. You are also very
likely to encounter wild elephants
plodding through the lobby at this
time of year in search of fruit from
a large mango tree!
