National parks, the wildlife, the people, just anything about Africa and its beauty.
I’ve photographed a lot of antelopes over the years, mostly because they’re always the animals that politely show up first on safari. And somewhere between the impala that photobombed my sunset shot and the kudu that gave me side-eye, I started noticing something interesting. Not all antelopes are built for …
When people think about a safari in South Africa, they usually picture elephants, lions, or a leopard draped over a tree. But if you look a little closer to the ground, you’ll notice a whole different world: small antelopes that survive by being quick, quiet, and incredibly well adapted. On …
If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing wild dolphins play beside your boat or watching a whale lift its tail in the open ocean, Port Elizabeth (officially Gqeberha) should be on your travel list. This city on South Africa’s Eastern Cape may not be as famous as Hermanus, but it’s home …
When you’re on safari in South Africa, it doesn’t take long before you spot them: impalas, kudu, or maybe a nervous nyala peering from the bush. They’re graceful, beautiful, and everywhere. But for the big cats, these elegant creatures are more than just part of the scenery. They’re dinner. So, …
When my husband and I were driving through Kruger National Park, we started noticing something hilarious: every single animal we saw seemed determined to show us its rear end.

Whenever I spot a herd of zebras grazing on the savanna, my mind races: are they attending an exclusive black-and-white gala? Those stripes are eye-catching and bold; you’d think they’d make zebras easy prey. So why the dramatic makeover? Scientists once floated a range of ideas: camouflage, social signaling, and …
Elephants are among the most admired animals in Africa. Tourists travel thousands of kilometers hoping to see them in the wild, to watch them move as a herd, or simply to stand in awe of their presence. For many, the idea of sitting on an elephant’s back for a ride …
Pangolins are some of the strangest and least-known animals in Africa. If you’ve ever wondered “what is a pangolin in Africa?” the answer might surprise you: it’s a shy, nocturnal mammal covered head to tail in tough keratin scales, often called the “scaly anteater.” Despite traveling through Africa quite a …
There’s something about the African bush at night that feels completely different. The moment the sun sets, the landscape changes.
