(7)

We design custom itineraries and conduct these journeys usually accompanied by a specialist guide. Our current area of expertise is Eastern and Southern Africa (with our own A Step Ahead guides) and in the Pyrenees (France & Spain). While we often stay in luxury camps, lodges and hotels, our emphasis is on the experience. For those who have known us since the mid 1990s, we used to call our guide services Wilderness Africa.

Wild dogs are the second most endangered carnivore in Africa after the Simean or Ethiopian wolf... Thanks to conservation awareness campaigns, their numbers have increased since the early 1980's! Always a privilege to see and enjoy these amazing predators!

The Flap-necked chameleon, Its ability to change colours, means you seldom see them during the day unless you see them crossing the road, but are more frequently seen on night drives with a spotlight if you know where to look!

A magical stay in one of Africa's wild places, taken care of by Nomad Tanzania and their crew. Highlights were the Pel's fishing owl (Scotopelia peli) seen less than 2 hours after we landed!, the purple-banded sunbird (Cinnyris bifasciata), the light on the Ugalla river and the hippos, crocs and birds like this maribou stork, the scorpions at night, the borassus palm forests and the flood plains with herds of topi, Lichtenstein's hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus lichtensteinii) and Plains zebra ...what a place! Above all the magic and serenity of being in such a wild place.

Little bee-eaters are fairly common in much of East and southern Africa. Several other species of bee-eaters arevequally or more colourful. Despite that I rarely miss an opportunity to photograph these birds. They are wonderful! Don't you agree?

Silence ensues. The only sound from our safari vehicle is the click of cameras, as a herd of elephants approach so close that we can not only hear them, but smell them too. We are in awe a minute later when we are left alone again.
