Our third national park was Bandhavgarh and once again, it didn’t disappoint for tiger sightings. In fact we had another two all to ourselves on different days. (Sometimes there can be many vehicles all vying for the best position). If you have a good guide, and a dose of luck you’ll be in the best position, as the image below […]
The second National Park I visited was Kanha and the scenery was very different to Pench. As usual, it was a very early morning start to get to the gates, and our guide always liked to be first in the queue so we left at 05.15 each morning. It was too dark to use my camera so here’s a phone […]
A tiger safari trip that was planned for 2021 ended up being rearranged 5 times due to Covid and difficulties obtaining a visa for India. I finally made it however and it was definitely worth the wait. I was resigned to the fact that I may not see any tigers at all, but if I didn’t take that risk I […]
The largest national park south of Alaska, Death Valley is known for extremes: It’s North America’s driest and hottest spot (with fewer than two inches of rainfall annually and a record high of 56°c), and has the lowest elevation on the continent at one point—282 feet below sea level. During summer, it’s thought to be the hottest place on Earth, […]
I spent a week in Jamaica earlier this month but didn’t have as many photographic opportunities as expected. I think that many tourists simply go to one big resort such as Sandals or Beaches, and never really venture out through the gates. We stayed in an AirBnb and hired a car to explore, but were a little disappointed not to […]
I’ve just returned from a reunion photography trip for 4 guests who were on my 2019 tour of Namibia. It was supposed to take place a couple of years ago but Covid hit the world and the trip was postponed a couple of times. It finally happened with the addition of two lovely guests, and a good time was had […]
At the very end of November I found myself unexpectedly going to Antigua instead of on a trip to photograph Tigers in India, which had already been postponed 3 times due to Covid. It transpired that the Indian government was not issuing E-Visas to UK citizens for reasons unknown (and only discovered a month before planned departure), so with flights […]
This post is rather late, but Cornwall can be just as beautiful as the further away places I’ve been to. I spent a week there in October (before my Namibia tour) and was lucky enough to have fine weather most of the time. A few lovely sunny days and although other days were overcast there was very little rain. Below […]
After my tour of Namibia ended I flew to Cape Town in South Africa for 4 days. I hadn’t been there before and I’d heard from quite a few people that it’s a great place to visit. Here is a selection of photos. The view from the top of Table Mountain. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden had been recommended and it’s […]
Our 9th day took us to Spitzkoppe. An incredibly dramatic place with ginormous granite boulders. I’m sure Disney modelled all their fake ones on this place. This is the view through the rock arch. Around the lodge grounds I snapped this little lizard with my iPhone. I like the way its colours blend in with the different colours of the […]
