There's a small spring nearby where many animals drink when there's no other water around. A couple of hippos made it their home this year as well, but recently one of them succumbed to the lack of nutrition and died in the lagoon surrounding the [...]
I've just finished a fantastic 3-day photo safari with a group of guests from Germany. Apart from being good fun, they enjoyed some great photo opportunities, and got some fantastic pictures. Here is a selection of mine, in no particular order. A stunning leopard who [...]
I was lucky recently to find a leopard hidden in a tree early in the afternoon. She was very sleepy and had a full belly so we knew she wouldn't go far until it got nearly dark. We continued our drive and returned to the [...]
The Carmine Bee-eaters have been here in force for the last couple of months. I went to spend some time at the colony yesterday morning and took many photos which I'm still wading through. However, this one appealed to me because the flying bird just [...]

Not many people's favourites but nevertheless an important member of the bush - Vultures are doing very well at this time of year because many of the large herbivores are struggling to find food, and the weakest are dying off. This White-backed Vulture's crop was [...]
The striking side-lighting on this giraffe's head caught my eye the other day. I've always found giraffe a hard photo subject so seek new ways to capture them.
My series of images of a brawl between rival lions has made it into the UK's national press. Have a look here for a (slightly inaccurate) write-up of what happened! No I did not say that I went out to see if I "could spot [...]
We've had some fantastic sightings of these creatures over the last few days. I was even lucky and caught an African Civet in the act of adding to his dung midden (known as a civetry) - apparently nothing escapes the gaze of a camera!
