Bush breakfasts are a treat on safari. This elephant was an uninvited 'guest' at a breakfast on a recent photo safari. Thankfully he did not stay for long :) 🐘 Join us in October 2025 when we return in the dry season: https://www.davidrogers.co.za/itinerary/south-luangwa-predators/

A visit to arid Northern Kenya will give you the opportunity to engage with the Samburu People. Known for their distinctive highly ornate dress and colorful beaded jewelry, they also have a strong connection to nature. David took these images at Sarara Lodge.

Young lions are a delight to watch at play -- their playful antics which include chasing, tackling and tripping prepare them for the very serious life skills of being a lion. On our photo trips we always suggest waking up extra early -- even at 4.30 am in summer -- to be able to find lions at dawn when they are most active . Thanks to our guide More for getting us in the right time at the right place for these shots which were taken on a private photo trip with great friends who travelled together to Somalisa Expeditions in Hwange in October 2024.

A few weeks old elephant calf fits snugly beneath its mother belly. They stay close to their mothers for at least two years. They drink with their mouths and it takes them about a year to get control of their trunks. Elephants occur widely throughout Southern Africa and elephant lovers should plan their trips for the dry season (May to November) when they congregate around water holes and rivers. Once the rains fall in late October to November the herds are able disperse into the woodlands for more favourable feeding.

Oh, the places you'll eat! A remote breakfast under the trees in the middle of nowhere or a dinner surrounded by lanterns. Sundowners on a river bank, or a gin bar in the river - such magical surprises. 🌿🥤📸

A place where waterfalls tumble in to the sea, GweGwe Beach Lodge in the Mkambati Nature Reserve, South Africa, has become one of our favourite spots along the South African coastline.
A unique environment where you can experience wildlife on land whilst watching dolphins and Wales frolic in the waves out your window. Situated along a stretch of coastline that is as untamed as it is beautiful.
