Mike has travelled with me several times before. Many of you will remember his reports from previous trips, and shared in the sightings that we have enjoyed. This time, we changed the arrangements slightly and he visited in the Emerald Season so that he would [...]

Back in October, I led a trip to the Kafue National Park. This is the 4th time I have run my Kafue and Busanga Adventure, and I think it gets better each time! I was joined this time by 4 guests, all of whom had [...]
