YARON SCHMID

Veterinarian, Conservationist, Award Winner, Wildlife Photographer and Safari Leader.
Owner & Creator of YS Wildlife Photography.

As a veterinarian, I offer a special look into the eyes and souls of the animals I photograph. My ability to read and anticipate animal behavior allows me to catch "special moments" and give you a glimpse into their rich emotional lives and unique personalities.

Many of the animals I photograph are endangered. I hope that you will connect with them through my lens, love them as I do, and join me in the fight to help them.

I lead African Safaris with my partner Amy.
We specialize in East Africa.
Our guests get to experience the wild in a special and intimate way, mostly away from the crowds. My knowledge of animal behavior and great spotting ability, combined with Amy’s warm care and excellent attention to detail, makes a safari with us a rich and rewarding experience.

I invite you to JOIN one of our adventures!
Till then, follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more images and stories from the bush.

Conservationist, Photographer and Safari Leader.
Creator of YS Wildlife & AMYS Safaris.

Going on safari can be life-changing. When I went for the first time nearly 15 years ago, I felt inspired, alive, re-connected to nature, and like I’d finally “come home.” I created YS Wildlife & AMYS Safaris to give YOU that same opportunity to achieve your dreams, renew your spirit, nourish your soul, and live your best life! I know the prospect of traveling to Africa can be daunting, even to the most seasoned travelers: Yaron, and I promise to be with you, every step of the way, to help you, guide you, and create the adventure of your lifetime!
