It was almost dark when I found these three cubs suckling from their mother. I pushed all the settings on my camera to eke out the last available light and managed to get some nice shots of the three. As it was getting dark, they [...]
As the lagoons dry up, hippos are squeezed into ever-decreasing sized pools of water and tempers fray. One way for a male to show dominance over another hippo is to display his massive canines by yawning ostentatiously.
It's not often that we see a sunset such as this in October. A cold front has cleared away all the dust and left us with October game viewing and April weather - astonishing.
So here they are, in no particular order. A female kudu and a couple of calves study us as we shuffle in the vehicle to settle cameras onto beanbags. Crossing in front of a grove of African Ebonies, a mother and calf head for better [...]

I recently had a group of guests who were mad-keen bird enthusiasts and hoped to get great sightings of as many species as possible. We had a lot of fun tracking down some of the Luangwa's specialities and visiting some of the less well-known areas. [...]

On an all-day safari in the north of the park, we found part of a large pride of lions, known locally as the Mwamba Pride after the river which runs through their territory. It was quite late in the morning, so we decided to leave [...]
