Guest Blog on SouthAfrica.Net

I was recently asked to do a guest blog post on some of our National Parks and Game Reserves for the official South African Tourism Blog (located at www.southafrica.net).

Published in the Daily Mail Online (UK)

I was pleased yesterday to see a story being run in the Daily Mail Online (UK Newspaper) about a morning I spent (along with Marlon du Toit of course) photographing the iconic elephants of Mana Pools.

I was particularly pleased that they included a bit about the current threat of mining exploration to the area, even if it's just a mention of it. I specifically requested this be included because I would hate for these images to get exposure just for my own personal gain - this area is so special to me I want to be able to use my images to raise awareness of its fragility and the threats it faces.

Thanks for reading this blog!! I appreciate every view, click and comment.

Cheers!

This is a herd of elephants drinking from a waterhole in the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Enjoy your day, folks!
