Penda Travel Photography Competition ends 10 December 2025

Deadline: 10 December 2025. Show us your best work. And have a chance to win an African photo safari!

Calling all travel photographers! We invite you to submit your best work and compete for the title of Penda’s Travel Photographer of the Year. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic amateur, this is your chance to showcase your most captivating travel images. You’ll have a chance to win the trip of a lifetime – a photo safari to Botswana. Entering is quick and easy – and your first entry is free!

Penda’s collaboration with Wild Shots Outreach underscores the belief that photography can do more than just create striking images – it can build connection, agency, and opportunity. Based in the Greater Kruger area in South Africa, Wild Shots Outreach gives young people from disadvantaged communities access to cameras, mentoring, workshops, and bursaries to help them engage with their natural heritage and pursue pathways in conservation, storytelling, and creative careers.
By entering the competition beyond the free first submission, contributors will be directly supporting the work of Wild Shots Outreach – helping fund equipment, education, and program expansion.
