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.

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...

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.

The year 2009 started with a bang and as in previous years, safari in this part of Africa has been phenomenal. Below is a sighting that, for me as a guide and photographer, stood out and I will remember for the rest of my life. Being based at Leopard Hills for the last 6 years has offered me the opportunity...
Digital Photo Safari July 2009...
It’s almost time for another group of ten lucky photographers to join Andy Biggs and me (James Weis) on a photographic workshop safari in the amazing wilds of Botswana.
This will be my 15th safari in Botswana and I still cannot get enough of what I consider to be the finest adventure location anywhere....
