Another busy month begins!

I cant believe this is the first opportunity that i’ve had to actually sit down and add a new post to the blog category. Things have been incredibly busy but there are a lot of exciting things happening over the next couple of months as well as some really big projects for the new year!

Last week i was up at the beautiful Molori Safari Lodge in Madikwe and was lucky enough to guide some amazing guests from the USA. I never get bored of seeing peoples reactions to being in the African bush for the first time! The inevitable response is that all the TV and wildlife documentaries cant compare to being completely immersed in the sounds and smells of the bush.

We had some really good sightings of Elepehants, white rhino, lion and eventually got a nice big herd of buffalo. Although the leopards managed to elude my group, I was lucky enough to see a young male as I was driving into the reserve- in fact, I saw four of the Big5 just driving up to the lodge the day before my guests checked in! Here are some of my pics from the trip:

I’m super excited as i have a return guest coming back from the USA this weekend and we will be heading up to Umlani Bush Camp in the Timbavati Game Reserve adjacent to Kruger National Park. I have never been to Umlani before but have heard many good things about the camp. Whilst we are up there i will be putting together a destination review on the camp so keep an eye out for that on the site in the next couple of weeks.

I am also running a two night trip up to Pilanesberg National Park this month with a group of 7 people form the UK – cant wait to get back out there again!

Next month sees the first of many collaborations between Photo-Africa and Moya Wa Tenga Safaris with the inaugural Wildlife Photography 101 Workshop (WP101). The two day workshop will be held on Saturday 4th September and Saturday 11 September.
