I recently travelled to Malawi's beautiful Nyika Plateau, far in the north of that long thin country. It is a long journey from Mfuwe, requiring a long day's driving to Mzuzu, an overnight in Mzuzu and then a bumpy 5 hour drive up onto the [...]
A return visit to Luangwa with me for Allan & Rae gave Allan a chance to put his photo training into practice. As you'll see, we had wonderful sightings and I think you'll agree he did a great job at converting them to superb images. [...]
I had taken Nick Gill on safari with his wife in 2017 and I was very pleased when they wanted to come back again in 2019! This time, they brought their adult sons who quickly became engrossed in photography too! It was a lot of [...]
This was my first trip with Don & Sharon and we had a superb time at 3 of the best camps in the Luangwa. The sightings were amazing, and Don sent me his favourite images to share. He says he kept back some that had [...]

It’s hard to know where to begin with a write up of a 19-night photo safari. But I soon worked it out; I started with several nights of good sleep! 3 weeks on safari is a long time, and I had expected to get very [...]
The chance of a 2-week safari in the middle of September (a great time in South Luangwa) excited me from the time when we started planning the trip. More than a year later, the guests arrived at Kafunta River Lodge for the first part of [...]
