As a result, I have been on safari lots but not had much time at my computer to upload the photos! Here is a small selection from the last couple of weeks, including a wonderful lion sighting from around a week ago. We were lucky [...]

Grasslands are less common in the most widely-used areas of the park, so we sometimes find the more unusual creatures there. Earlier this season, I found a young caracal in the scrub near the river, a first for me and probably the only sighting this [...]

We have a huge area for our own use, inhabited by the full range of game that Luangwa offers, including a number of the less-well-known species such as Caracal, Serval, Hartebeest, Reedbuck, Common Duiker and Sharpe's Grysbok. We have had encounters with lion and hyaena [...]

In front of our house, a group of bull elephants were messing around in the muddy water. Soon a tussle began between two of the sub-adults and they were shoving and wresting each other on the slippery ground. A small calf with her mother (seen [...]

For me, 2014 will be the year of interactions. I saw so many interesting, unusual and touching moments between individuals of the same species, or between competitors. The album below (which will get captions soon!) brings the highlights of the year......although of course the real [...]
