Kogatende, Northern Serengeti Nov 2020
Whilst most people probably feel it is not the ideal time to travel right now, we have taken a different view. Although we are aware of the risks, and are taking the necessary precautions very seriously, we have also realised that with so few other people travelling, there has never been a better time to […]
Namiri Plains, November 2020
Since the South African borders opened on 1 October we have tried to travel as much as possible in order to take advantage of experiencing wildlife areas that are currently quiet in terms of visitor numbers. Both Kenya and Tanzania have offered very good opportunities. In 2018 we had the great pleasure of spending time […]
An Elephant called Winona in the land of Salty Dust
Tragically, from as far back as we can remember elephants have been seen as an exploitable commodity, so much so that the Greek word Elephas from which the name elephant was derived, means ivory.

In part I have helped perpetuate that way of thinking, and in some locations I still believe it to […]
Bless the Rains down in Africa
It is hard not to get tears in my eyes and hear the famous Toto ‘Africa’ lyrics when I think about the beauty of seeing this male lion proudly standing atop his granite throne, whilst in the distance, the rains fall upon the great migration that freckles the endless plains of the Serengeti. For days […]
MANA POOLS, ZIMBABWE
SEPTEMBER 2019 Come what may and no matter what is happening elsewhere in the world, over September and October Chris & I will always be somewhere in the African Bush! This is for us the optimal time to be there as it is at the very peak of the dry season. It’s generally easy to […]
CENTRAL KALAHARI GAME RESERVE
January 2019 This past January Chris & I were to spend 15 days in the world’s second largest game reserve, The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) situated in central Botswana. When trying to define what a truly wild animal is, I think one must consider that it needs to be able to freely roam its […]
