Africa

Africa - Polar Bears may be my single favorite species to photograph but my dreams are often of Africa where we have now been six times with another planned for September 2024. And in Africa our favorite place so far has been Botswana where we have been four times ranging from mobile tent camping to four and five star tented camps. But it’s the intimacy with the animals, often known by name to the camp driver guides, that are the real attractants and the ability to stay with them long enough (especially if you go private) as long as you want (or at least long enough to observe particular behaviors). It’s really great when you have the time to follow an individual or group and be able to watch and sometimes even predict these particular behaviors. In the Land Rovers or other vehicles they are rarely bothered having grown up with them as part of the moving landscape - but don’t get up suddenly or out and break that understanding - you may be lunch. Of course it’s not only animals and not only Southern Africa. Wide open savannas, mountains, salt pans and in Namibia, fantastic dunes and tons of birds await your visit as well.
