The last 6 days of safari at Leopard Hills have been absolutely brilliant. Hundreds of elephant have moved into our traversing area and we see these massive pachyderms all over the reserve.

I just returned from 3 days of guiding at Mombo camp. I guide several times a year at Mombo, but I am not able to remember any time when the game viewing was quite as strong as on this trip.
Perhaps part of the reason for the strong game viewing is related to the falling water levels. Floodplains...
Safari in northern Botswana and Zambia...
August is a good time of year for safaris in northern Botswana. At this time of year water levels are still quite high in the rivers, temperatures are quite moderate, and there are gatherings of wildlife around water sources in the drier areas. This report details our recent safari in northern Botswana...

The week started with my best rhino sighting in ten years of guiding. We watched for...

The last six days of game viewing at Leopard Hills, situated in the western sector of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, was nothing short of sensational. The highlight was without a doubt a sighting of the Mambiri female leopard’s new cub. I have only seen this cub a handful of times, but on Tuesday morning,...

Our last afternoon game drive at Chitabe Camp was a great one… the camp manager, Dawson, called us in to a leopard sighting. A young male leopard was feeding on a baboon in a tree, so we spent the afternoon with him. He gave us lots of opportunities whilst up the tree, but just as the sun went...

We arrived back at Chitabe Camp, the fourth camp on our Digital Safari Workshop, and headed out on our first afternoon game drive to find two male lions who were resting. We waited for them to wake up and luckily for us, they did just that whilst the late afternoon sun was still shining strongly and...

We arrived at Savuti Camp, the third camp on our Digital Safari Workshop, to hear that there was an active wild dog den not too far from camp and that the viewing restrictions that are placed on such dens for the first month (in order to avoid disturbing the dogs when the puppies are so young) had just...
Digital Safari-Male Lion at Kwetsani...
This morning at 05h30 we heard a male lion roaring. We headed out from Kwetsani Camp, our second stop on the Digital Safari Workshop in Botswana and right at sunrise, we located him walking towards camp with the sun rising behind him.

Digital Safari-Leopard at Chitabe...
Today we got our first leopard of the trip. The sighting was at Chitabe Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the first of four camps we will visit on our July 2009 Digital Photo Safari.
She was a relaxed female leopard, beautifully perched in a dry acacia tree.
