Hey there… PHOTOGRAPHER!
Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important and you’ll capture it perfectly. Stop! Read this quote again… and, whilst you are at it read the caption again. You’ll notice, we say this over and over again, “You my friend, are a Photographer”, and it’s so true! You are, and you have full control […]
A Once Common Resident
Bold colours, a strong black bill and standing approximately a metre tall, this curious looking bird was once a common sight in most of Zambia. The Southern Ground Hornbill, one of Zambia’s flagship birds, has unfortunately shown a steady decline in numbers over recent years, and, as of 2016, was listed on the International Union […]
Disconnect to Reconnect
We seldom get the opportunity to simply disconnect from society – our screens, traffic, other peoples’ drama, deadlines the hustle and bustle of everyday life… which can cause us to sometimes loose perspective on what is important and “the bigger picture”. We live in an ever-connected world – sometimes filled with 18-hour workdays. Constantly demanded […]
Zambian Culture Is Rich And Full Of Colour
From the moment our feet touched soil at the Muguramano Cultural Village, we were welcomed with warm smiles and open hearts. Zambian culture is rich and full of colour. As we settled in to meet with the “Head Man”, we were serenaded by a few of the elder woman. As the welcoming ceremony progressed, we were […]

Sleep Easy
My skin cooled from a citrus-infused towel and refreshed from a deliciously sweet welcome cocktail, I walk through the entrance arch and drink in the vistas, the silhouette of a driftwood Tiger Fish sculpture at the centre. The river ambles by, as it has done for centuries, and I am immediately stripped of any cares […]
The Grande Arrival
Leaving Lusaka on our small Cessna charter, we took in the distant views of the city, the green farmlands and the wall of mountains to the East. But soon, as the plane banks, we are treated with our first tantalising glimpse of the river, the mighty Zambezi. I’m surprised at how fast the flow of […]
