The Ellingsens had been talking with me about safari for a couple of years by the time they arrived in Zambia. We had discussed a number of options and settled on a 10 night safari in August at two superb camps. This set up gives [...]
This trip was Mike White's 4th visit to South Luangwa!! He has been visiting in July each year since 2016 and I’ve always enjoyed running a private tour for him. With a background in landscape photography, it’s great to guide him on a wildlife safari [...]
It was so much fun to welcome back the Gills who had travelled with me in 2017. This time, they came as a family and we blended a week of photography, conservation discussions, great sightings and adventure with family time for them. It was lovely [...]

Over the last 2 weeks, I have been guiding the longest single trip that I’ve ever put together in South Luangwa. During 17 days, we stayed at 4 lodges in some of the Luangwa’s best wildlife areas. From Kafunta River Lodge, Lion Camp, Tena Tena [...]
