Photo Safari Report: Wilson & Lehman | South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi & Kafue NPs | Aug & Sep 2021

It is a strange fact that over the last 2 safari seasons, I have run just two photo tours, but both of them have been long trips, with international guests, covering multiple areas of Zambia. My latest trip, with guests from North America, was my [...]

Photo Safari Report: Michael & Sue | Mutinondo, Kasanka, Bangweulu & S Luangwa | Jun & Jul 2021

I still can't quite believe that this trip happened! After so many months of uncertainty, changes of plans and rebooking of flights, I only allowed myself to believe it would go ahead when my guests, Michael & Sue, actually touched down in Lusaka! Sadly, my [...]

Guest Report: Michael Thornton | Bespoke Luangwa | 22 Jun – 1 Jul 2019

I am thrilled to share a report that Michael Thornton has written about his time in the Luangwa with me in June 2019. There is also a selection of his images which brilliantly illustrate the story and the experience! It's clear from his words that [...]

Photo Safari Report: Connor Olson | Flatdogs Camp | Mar & Apr 2021

The Emerald Season in South Luangwa is a very special time of year; few people know about it as it falls outside the "recommended" travelling times for the area. But most permanent residents -- and anyone who has sampled this 'rains' period -- will tell [...]

Guest Report: John Erik Ellingsen | Kafunta & Lion Camp | 4 – 14 August 2019

Guest Report: Don Marianos | Robin Pope Safaris, Shenton Safaris & Bushcamp Co | Sep & Oct 2019

Don Marianos has travelled to Luangwa with me 3 times in the last 3 years. It's been such a pleasure to get to know him and Kathy and also to watch his development as a photographer. The images he is sharing here, from our 2019 [...]

Guest Report: Allan Semmler | Nsefu Camp & Tena Tena | 20-28 Sept 2019

A return visit to Luangwa with me for Allan & Rae gave Allan a chance to put his photo training into practice. As you'll see, we had wonderful sightings and I think you'll agree he did a great job at converting them to superb images. [...]

Guest Report: Don Magin | Kafunta River Lodge, Lion Camp & Nsefu Camp | Sep 2019

This was my first trip with Don & Sharon and we had a superb time at 3 of the best camps in the Luangwa. The sightings were amazing, and Don sent me his favourite images to share. He says he kept back some that had [...]
