Ode to the Impala

There are so many fantastic photographic subjects in the African bush, and so many of them are iconic and highly sought after by tourists...yet there's one gentle graceful little guy that often gets ignored, purely because of the sheer numbers in which you find them (think about how many you see in the Kruger National Park).

A couple of years ago I wrote a guest post for the Africa Geographic blog, which amounted to a photo essay to celebrate the Impala. You can read the entire essay HERE.

Thanks for taking the time to read and view my work, I appreciate every single view and comment. Feel free to share my blog with people who have an interest in African nature photography.

A Day in Mana Pools

I mince no bones about the fact that I absolutely love Mana Pools.
It is currently (and will probably remain for a long time) my favourite safari destination in Africa.

This is an older post of mine over on the Wild Eye Photo Chat blog, describing how a potential day on safari with us in Mana Pools might go. Just looking at it again makes me yearn to be back there!

You can read the original post, with plenty of eye candy in the form of photos, HERE.
You can also find out more information about joining me in Mana Pools on a safari ini 2014 HERE.

Have a great day, friends...
