Southeast GA has lots of places that are popular for wildlife photography. You could base camp on Jekyll Island, which has miles of bike and walking trails on pavement and through the woods. Jekyll Island is a state park, hunting is not allowed. You can get within 5 feet of white tail deer and they won't flinch. You can also get within a few feet of Alligators, that also won't flinch, but you might :). I've seen shark, dolphin and rays while standing on the Clam Creek Fishing Pier (across from the campground). Jekyll's Driftwood Beach was once voted one of America's most beautiful beaches.
Within an hour of Jekyll Island is the Okefenokee Swamp. The Okefenokee has Deer, Alligator, Black Bear, Bobcat and countless species of birds. It doesn't sound like it, but Swamps are beautiful in their own right. You can take day and overnight canoe trips through the swamps. On the Folkston side of the swamp is the Chesser Homestead. There are many miles of hiking trails through the swamp.
