The road to manhood. A fascinating picture showing Initiated Moran warriors dancing with the younger unitiated "Ilaiyok" boys. (We greeted each of the young boys by placing our hands on their heads and saying "epa" as is custom. ) The boys dressed in black are preparing for the more important circumcision ceremony "Emorata" where they too will become Moran. This picture was taken staying at Selenkay -- a fascinating and authentic camp run by Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps

Spectacular Hout Bay - a scenic stop over on our Cape Town peninsula tour. For complete privacy and wild ocean surrounds coupled with amazing dining we recommend a visit to Tintswalo Atlantic, which has an enviable location on this unspoilt and undeveloped section of coastline and the excellent Chef's Warehouse.

There’s truly nothing like Kenya's Amboseli National Park. Here majestic elephants make their way across the dusty plains to drink and feed from the lakes, nourished by the seep waters of Kilimanjaro.

The untamed Beauty of Lower Zambezi National Park is tucked away on the Zambian side of the mighty Zambezi River, directly across from the famous Mana Pools. There’s nothing quite like the magic of viewing wildlife from the water. Looking foward to a few photo tours to this area in 2025.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most extraordinary wildlife destinations in the world. This vast, collapsed volcanic caldera forms a natural amphitheater that supports an incredibly diverse array of species, all within its rim - like these elephants we photographed on a photo safari. The crater makes for dramatic photography.

Have you slept in a Nest?
Weaver birds are masterful little builders that knit together twigs and grass. Hidden away in the trees, the Chisa Busanga Nests weave together luxury and romance in the wilderness of Kafue. These Nests are built four metres off the ground, so you are treated to expansive views, a private outdoor deck and an outdoor shower. Busanga Plains is the highlight of Kafue National Park, known for its diverse antelope species and large numbers of lions.

Dave returns to the Serengeti in March next year, a great time to experience the calving season of the great migration in Tanzania. This spectacle is driven by the availability of grass and of course rain - so be prepared for a few showers. If this is something you want to experience, get in touch and we will plan a trip around you.

Sausage Tree Camp inside the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia, has a prime location on the confluence of the Chifungulu Channel and the Zambezi River. Activities include game drives, boat cruises, Tiger fishing, canoeing and the most unforgettable lunches served in the river. Every guest here will get their own private vehicle. We love to add this to the end of a Luangwa safari.
