Photo Safari Report: Kathy Phipps’ group | Marula Lodge | 29 August – 1 Sep 2017

Safari season is in full-swing here in Luangwa, with the best months of the year split evenly behind us and still to come. I am just back from a safari in the central area of the South Luangwa National Park with a great group of [...]

Photo Safari Report: Clive & Sue Ferreira | Zikomo Safaris | 14 – 20 August 2016

I have just finished a safari with Clive & Sue Ferreira from South Africa who booked their safari with Africa Geographic Travel. They hoped for the great wildlife sightings and remote seclusion offered by the Nsefu Sector, and I believe that Luangwa delivered on both! [...]

Photo Safari Report: Double Luangwa | Zikomo Safaris & Luambe Camp | 4 – 12 August 2017

The Luangwa is well-known for its amazing wildlife, including large buffalo herds, healthy lion prides and reliable leopard sightings. However there are some parts of the Luangwa Valley that are lesser-explored, and it was to a couple of these areas that I took repeat-guest Sharon [...]

Photo Safari Report: Double Luangwa | Flatdogs Camp & Tafika | 24 – 30 July 2017

August is usually the busiest month of the safari calendar with many choosing to take time out to visit us. But before I start on back-to-back safaris, I wanted to write up an epic trip that I lead last week for Maria-Luisa, Miguel, Sebastian and [...]

Photo Safari Report: Mike White | Marula Lodge & Zikomo Safari Lodge | 15 – 22 July 2017

It's always a pleasure to have a repeat visitor on safari; not only is it great that someone enjoyed South Luangwa so much that they wish to return, but it's fun to pick up where you left off and continue exploring different areas and new [...]

Photo Safari Report: Sharon, Dru and Denise | Luwi & Nsolo Camps | 19 – 23 Sept 2016

It feels like a long time ago - and I guess it was - but I won't quickly forget the week I spent with Sharon, Denise and Dru at Norman Carr Safaris' Luwi and Nsolo camps. Quite apart from beautiful surroundings in the camps, it [...]

Photo Safari Report: Segall, Strugnell & Lewis | Marula Lodge | 12 – 16 September 2016

A guest of mine - who has been on safari with me a couple of times - recommended some of his friends from Australia should contact me for a safari. I helped them to put together a 5-day trip in Luangwa, before they headed off [...]

Photo Safari Report: Luangwa Classic | Flatdogs Camp & Lion Camp | 5 – 11 September 2016

I run many trips in Luangwa during the year, but my Flatdogs Camp & Lion Camp trips are the first that I led, more than 4 years ago. The formula of 3 nights at each camp still works, and many of my best photo opportunities [...]

Photo Safari Report: Vermeesch & Dousi | Flatdogs Camp & Zikomo Safari | 5 – 17 August 2016

I had been looking forward to this safari from the moment I took the booking last year: 12 nights in two different camps at a great time of the year in Luangwa. I could already feel the excitement that I knew would grow every time [...]

Photo Safari: Patrick Cooper | Zikomo Safari & Marula Lodge | 20 – 26 July 2016

Another week of safari has come to an end; this time round our time was split between the excellent, remote Nsefu Sector and the wonderfully game-rich central area of the South Luangwa NP. I was joined by Patrick Cooper, a Kiwi on his first safari [...]
