  • Interesting & informative

    I was introduced to this show in November and I’ve binge-listened to over 200 episodes since then. I’ve found tips in the episodes that have improved my photography and my Lightroom already - and the travel stories aren’t helping my wanderlust. I’ve planned about 10 years worth of wildlife travel after hearing some of these podcasts and at some point I am going to have to travel with the Wild Eye crew.

  • Truly inspiring

    Gerry giving this podcast has been a huge driving force behind my photography. I haven’t had the honour of photographing wildlife yet but it is my dream to do the Masai Mara river crossings with Gerry and Wild Eye.
