Note: We recommend booking early! If trips are fully booked, we suggest you still contact us to be put on a waitlist or receive information as to additional field trips we may be arranging at a future date.

For all photo tours / workshops out of Aurum Lodge, we accept reservations and can answer most of your questions. Note that a reservation is only guaranteed, once a deposit has been received, so call us if you wish to book.

If you are a member of a camera club and interested in organising an exclusive field trip for your group, do let us know.

Create your own Arrangement

Design your own “package” by choosing one or more of the options for activities listed in our Activities section. Once you have decided on what to do during your stay at Aurum Lodge, let us know if you want us to contact the individual operators and inform you of the total cost or make reservations for you. Note that most operators will require a deposit when an activity is booked. Activities are generally carried out irrespective of the weather, as long as it is safe to do so.

We also offer personalised photo tours in the area for up to three people at certain times of the year (if the timing of the regular group tours do not work out for you, or if you prefer a smaller group).

Remember:  there are 1001 reasons for this place of all seasons...
