Wow, it's beautiful out there! The bush is in its most fantastic period of the rains. The grass is long and straight, making gorgeous patterns and the greenery has dulled slightly from the lurid hue that dominated back in December. Everything is full of life; [...]

The South Luangwa is one of the best wildlife destinations, in part because of the diversity of species that it offers. Wild Dogs are just one of our 'specials' and particularly since they can be found at almost any time of the year. I took [...]
