Wildlife: of a different kind…
I am on my annual month's holiday in UK with my family. This morning I took my daughter to go and meet the lambs at the neighbouring farm!!
Guest Report: Ken MacLennan-Brown & Sandra Rossi, UK
It's a great pleasure to post some of Ken and Sandra's images on my blog. They are seasoned travellers, great photographers and good fun to take on safari. We spent 5 days together in October, and this is their report of the trip, through their [...]
Guest Report: Roger and Vicky Fry, UK
I have known Roger and Vicky Fry for over 5 years, and have taken them on safari annually since then! They are great lovers of the Luangwa and have been wonderful people to take on safari - keen to explore new things, sit and watch [...]

Through the Lens: Irritable Buffalo
On a short morning safari with my family at the weekend, we found a solitary buffalo bull. Although these guys aren't very social (or sociable!) they are very rarely seen alone, preferring the company (and protection) of other bulls. It's a fallacy to say that [...]
Wildlife: A Green Paradise
Safaris at this time of year are a bit less predictable than during the drier months. That's not to say that we don't enjoy great sighting, but just that you can't guarantee them every day like we (almost!) can in the winter. Nevertheless, a short [...]
Wildlife: Not checking in rear-view mirror before reversing
This warthog appears not to have checked inside its burrow before reversing in for the night! Perhaps it was startled and rushed to seek refuge in its hole, but found that the hole was still being used by a porcupine avoiding the heat of the [...]
