Life in the African bush has a certain stigma attached to it. Sunrise and sunsets, giraffe waltzing through the thickets, impala bouncing across the road, and zebra calling as the sun drops. There is another

Rhino. Poaching. It's an on going struggle, and it's desperate times! But it's not all doom and gloom, there are patches of light, streams of hope, shining through the clouds of despair. This young lady

Well, it's a pretty clear picture- it's an eye. But who does this eye belong to? Take a guess before you scroll all the way down... Some of us guides are testing each other to see if we can recognise animals

It's normally about 40 degrees at this time of the year, but today is a lot cooler. There are clouds in the sky, very low, and throughout the day so far there has been a light rain. It's one of those days,

We have many visitors, from far and wide. Some are locals who enjoy spending time in nature, listening to the morning chorus as the birds celebrate the rising of the sun breaking the dark, and some are

As a young boy I would watch many animated movies, and one of my favourite shows had animals as the characters. Foxes, bears, birds, all sorts of animals talking and singing and dancing. There were good

When people hear about South Africa, it is sometimes not in a positive light. It is true that we have had a very turbulent past, with many negative things happening. It's no secret, those things are a

As the hot days roll on, we know they will eventually be broken by our typical late afternoon thunderstorms. Today was no different. After a hot day (36 degrees!) the heat of the day was chased by the

It's romantic, isn't it? The idea of traveling to foreign places, learning about new cultures, eating new food, and experiencing what it is that other exotic places have to offer. Africa. The dark continent.

There are certain lessons we learn in life. Some we learn as young children- don't touch the stove. Don't pull the dog's tail. Don't talk back to your mom when she's moaning at you because you broke something!

In a green and brown world filled with leaves and grass, rocks and dust, it must be a pretty tough life trying to hide from predators when you are black and white! Such is the life of a zebra. Some animals

When it's time to go to bed, then that's just what it is- time to go to sleep. But sometimes you can't, for whatever reason that may be. For me it was this little guy. Harmless, this little jumping spider

Finding the right subjects to photograph can sometimes be tough for me. The animals can sometimes be far off, or be hiding behind something. Lighting conditions could be all wrong, or maybe it's just something

For the last few weeks as we have left for game drive we have seen a lone wildebeest walking around not far from the lodge. A few people have commented, wondering why he is on his own as wildebeest are

There are some icons that are recognisable throughout the world, a brand that you would know where ever you saw it. Africa has a few of those too- elephants, lions, rhino, zebra, to name just a few. And

Death. It sounds so final. The end. Its in our make up to be a bit apprehensive about it, the world has little understanding of what happens after, and fear and confusion are synonymous with it. So if

The days are long, and often quite hot. And by the end of the day there is not too much energy left in the tank, but as we head out on the evening game drive and look to see what show Mother Nature puts

This has to be one of my favourite elephant sightings to date. Sometimes I wish it wasn't me driving the vehicle around though, as it would give me more opportunities to take photos, but being the driver

I live in the African bush, it's where I work, and spend 90% of my time. It's an exciting place to stay, and there's always something happening, somewhere, that will keep you on your toes. Recently I had

It's not everyday that as you leave on a game drive that you bump into a pride of lions, who all walk around your vehicle as you sit there, with your guests, trying to get all the photos you can. But today
