Deer Photography Safaris at Knepp Rewilding Project -

Red Deer Rut

For pure adrenaline and primal natural experiences, the annual Red Deer rut in autumn possibly can’t be beaten in the UK.
This off-road photographic safari utilises local knowledge of where the stags are and where the thick of the action is. A combination of driving and walking you could be in a vehicle right next to jousting stag’s or stalking them via a scrub line. Of course nothing is guaranteed but with the stags having 12 times the amount of testosterone coursing through them, it is rarely peaceful!

Under the coronavirus pandemic the vehicle has been adapted with Perspex screen and is sanitised between each use. All precautions and restrictions are observed and masks are to be worn. And under the current pandemic due to social distancing and size of vehicle this event is for one person only.

Generally starting around 1 PM and finishing at dusk for when the light totally fades.
