Just before heading to Europe for a month I needed a decent dose of African Bush! This is where I got it and we saw lions, elephants, buffalo and rhino, and my friend Isilo paid me a visit in the camp last night. Epic!

Yesterday we took some of our staff into the park for a year end function. For Thandie it was the first time in her life she saw a rhino!

For all our lion fans, here is a youngster looking at me curiously. Do you like it?

Wow, amazing! The Western Shores of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park has just been opened to the public! We went to check it out and this is what we saw!
Great news: with the recent reintroduction of lions in Mkuze game reserve, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park is now home to the Big-5, as well as cheetah, wild dog and hyaena.

Our guide Nicolaas is giving our guests the time of their life in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. These lions were only 3 meters from the car!
And this is how you spoil people: a bush breakfast including champagne!

Good morning! What could be a better way to start the day than having a good yawn?

What do you guys think? Should we include Amakhosi in our tours? This is what the reserve looks like.
This is one of the magnificent lions we saw at Amakhosi yesterday. Do you like it?

In search of game we know no boundaries. We will find them!
We're having some special sightings here at Amakhosi! These purple-crested Turacos are showing some tender love towards each other during their courtship display.

A last photo from Deadvlei as our Namibia tour has come to an end. It was an epic and successful journey for all photographers!
Saturday, November 16, 2013
Wow! While our Namibia Tour draws to a close, our guests Ramona and Patrick are having the time of their lives at Tembe Elephant Park!
Friday, November 15, 2013
Wow, after a long day of successful shooting photos we're going to enjoy a good nights sleep at the stunning Sossus Dune Lodge. Don't you wish you were sleeping here?
Our scenic flight over Sossusvlei and Deadvlei was amazing!

A last photo of Etosha before we move to Sossusvlei. Do you like it?
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
The Etosha elephants are also very impressive don't you think?
Etosha, like it if you spot a jackal in this photo, and share it if you find two!
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
Greetings from Etosha! We're having a good time with great sightings!
While we're having a great time in Etosha, our guests in St. Lucia are also having great sightings!

Good morning from Spitzkoppe! Hope you all have a nice day!
So you guys liked star trails? Here is one taken at Spitzkoppe. Do you like it?
The desert of Namibia also has amazing fossils, such as this one from a Mesosaurus...

We are melting in this beautiful desert... Totally worth it!

Alright, one more photo before bedtime: One of the renovated buildings at Kolmanskop encircled by star trails.
We are now at Kolmanskop, an abandoned mining town where the desert is taking over the whole town.

And although we are here for landscape photography, that doesn't mean we don't get really cool wildlife images!
And the amount of stars we can see here in Namibia is unreal!
Tuesday, November 5, 2013
The moon sets in the Quiver Tree forest of Namibia! It is so beautiful here you have no idea.
Friday, November 1, 2013
Right! Today I set off to Namibia to capture images like this one from Hougaard Malan! Like this if you're jealous... See you all in two weeks!

When I am not guiding or in the office I can experience the joy of buying new numberplates and car radios on the day that all people just got their government grant or salary. Oh, and the numberplates were 'finished' they'd get new stock next week. T.I.A.

A photo of the milky way stretching over the Drakensberg Mountains taken from Didima Camp. On our tours we take you there and teach you how to capture such a shot. Like if you wanna join us!
Saturday, October 26, 2013
Wow! We had an exceptionally beautiful sunrise this morning on our photography workshop in the Drakensberg Mountains! What do you think of it?
Monday, October 21, 2013
The real one we saw this morning was too quick so we didn't get a photo, so this one from the table cloth will have to do today. But what a sighting!
Saturday, October 19, 2013
Our afternoon game drive has started off with a bang!
Wild dog in Tembe! We're quite lucky.

As you can see our kayak trip to photograph hippo at eye-level was a great success! Couldn't even take my camera out its waterproof bag...

Guess where Nicolaas is with his guests?
Thursday, September 19, 2013
"Hey you, I'm gonna steal your lunch!" One of the naughty monkeys at Cape Vidal I am always fighting with whilst preparing lunch for guests... Don't 'like' this because it ain't funny...
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Wow! While we were having a great time in Kruger with our guests, our new specialist guide Nicolaas Uys had amazing sightings at Tembe with his guests...
