I have always enjoyed studying images of wildlife. That moment, frozen in time, allows the viewer to examine closely the details of a hide, an eye, the ripple of a muscle of the construction of a gait. Photographs of birds, which are small, fast moving [...]
I was much looking forward to John Erik returning to Zambia after the extended time away due to the pandemic. In the intervening period, he had spent a lot of time continuing to enjoy and develop his photography skills and techniques through visits to hides [...]
In the Luangwa, it doesn't get much better than a 12 night trip split between the hides of Shenton Safaris, the rich predator area of Lion Camp and the beautiful remoteness of Nsefu Camp. This was a trip that I had anticipated for a long [...]
