All Things Wild offers luxurious, bespoke wildlife photography tours in Yellowstone and abroad. No two tours are the same, as our adventure is all about you, your interests and your photographic goals.

We operate in Yellowstone during the FALL and WINTER ONLY, as they are the most sensational and stunning times in Yellowstone fir fine art wildlife photography (September - February).

We are South African based during the spring and summer months (March - September).

We welcome and can teach all levels of photography from getting you off of automatic settings all the way to aiding in positioning, local insight and wildlife behavior for the professional photographer seeking a particular shot. All Thing Wild tours and expeditions are led by award-winning, international wildlife photographer, and All Things Wild Owner, Kate Ochsman. Kate loves working with you to co-create your perfect trip, and to help you make the wildlife photography images of your dreams.

All Things Wild is a one woman operated and owned business based in Gardiner, Montana, the Northwest entrance to Yellowstone National Park. After years of working in the Southern African Safari Business, Kate created her ideal company here in America. Blending cross-continental elements such as the splendid charm of bush luxury, an emphasis on beauty, gourmet food and coffee, premier photographic instruction, a deep knowledge of wildlife and conservation issues, Kate offers a truly unique and unparalleled experience in Yellowstone. 

We aim to ensure that you feel special on your bespoke tour, that you have the chance to slow down and connect with nature, that you make stunning images, and that you learn more about photography and wildlife. In addition, All Things Wild works locally as an outfitter for international photographic tour companies, and we run our International tours through our global partner companies. 
 
Our mission is to help you fall in love with all things wild through a deepened connection with our natural world and your valuable place within it.
