About Us

I've been taking photographs on safari for over twenty years now. The bug first bit me when my dad bought an old Pentax ME Super with a 70 - 210 manual zoom in the early eighties.

We would visit the game reserves in South Africa like the Kruger National Park and Pilanesberg and I would snap away dementedly at every animal we saw. I still do, even more so now that I have a Canon digital camera with a 10X optical zoom and I've branched out to places like Botswana and Zimbabwe.

The wildlife pictures have improved a little over time and my love for going on a picture safari and the wilds and wildlife of Africa remains undiminished. I try to go on safari every chance I get and I have visited many of the reserves in the southern part of this massive continent.

I've built this website to showcase some of my and other photographers wildlife picture efforts to hopefully provide you with a small insight into the magical experience that is an African safari.

I also try and share some of the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years. It might help you if you want to undertake a safari trip yourself which I can't recommend highly enough. The old cliché that it is a once in a lifetime experience really is true. You will never forget it.

And if these wildlife pictures can spread a little awareness about Africa which might ultimately lead to the continued and improved conservation of all the wildlife there then I will consider them a success.
