In Zambia, we're right at the end of the dry season, there's not a blade of grass anywhere and many animals are choosing to rest and conserve energy rather than expend effort searching for the very small amount of remaining sustenance. But in the last [...]

In the early hours of the morning, we found a large pride lying out in an open area. The boys didn't seem too happy with each other - perhaps one of them stepped out of line. One certainly had a grumpy look on his face... [...]

I went up there yesterday to have a look around and see what the game has been doing while we've been away. We were out most of the day, so at times the light was very poor for photography, but during the morning and evening, [...]

Along with buffalo, I find zebras hard to photograph. Which is bizarre since they're beautifully marked and often obliging subjects. Anyhow, I was happy to find this trio on the shelf by the river at Lion Camp recently, and the light was perfect. I experimented [...]
