Cunningham Outdoors, your adventure awaits!

Hello and welcome to Cunningham Outdoors, where I pledge to give you the best Photography/Natural History based Adventure Tour possible. Each traveler will have excellent chances for superb images as well as learn the natural history on each area visited. With over 30 years as a research biologist, teacher, writer, and photographer I believe I'm well qualified to lead a variety of trips to destinations in the United States and internationally. I do not lead any guest to an area that I have not been before so I can assure you of the experiences and the accommodations before we leave.
My tours include shorter 2 - 4 day trips in Arizona and New Mexico, and longer week to 14 day trips to distant areas including Alaska, the tropics, and Africa. These trips are designed to take you into the field to get close to animals and get those images you've dreamed of. I also promise to give you extensive natural history content on many of the species or areas. I've designed trips that are active (include hiking, kayaking, etc. aka Adventure Tours) and some that do not require strenuous activity. My goal is that you consider them all an adventure.
I realize there are many options for a photography tour. The reason I believe you should book with me is in addition to the photography you will learn a vast amount about the animals and area we are visiting. I have found that most that are fascinated with wildlife photography are just as interested in the animals themselves. My background as both a research biologist and wildlife biology professor allow me to be a unique leader. I believe my extensive field experience will help us to get as close as possible to our subjects as well. Another question I've received that initially surprised me is "why are your trips so much less expensive than others?". The answer is quite simple, I'm just getting the business started and I'm trying to build up clientele. At present, my trip costs just include my expenses and not a salary. I do hope to make this a successful business and prices will increase in the future.
I have been working hard on the blog and plan to work harder on it. Please visit it and use the keywords to find the information you are interested in. That will cut down on possible extraneous reading.
INTRODUCING REFERRAL DISCOUNTS : For each person you bring with you I will reduce the cost of your trip by $150 each (on bear trips or $50 on Bosque trips) up until $600. so BRING YOUR FRIENDS!!!
Please fill out my contact form so I can put you on my mailing list and let you know of updates and new trip postings. Many thanks for visiting
