About Phototeva
Phototeva was founded in 2009 with a vision: to create an unforgettable organized travel experience — for people who don’t like organized tours.
That means offering the peace of mind, excellent logistics, and access to unique experiences that aren’t open to the general public, without compromising on independence, small intimate groups, and an itinerary that values depth, enjoyment, and cultural understanding over rushing from one place to another.
Today, we are one of the largest adventure and photography travel companies in the world.
With an incredible team of over thirty staff members, guides, and instructors from the worlds of biology, anthropology, photography, and zoology — we live and breathe the field, pouring our hearts into every expedition so that you return with the experience of a lifetime.
