Stories from the
Wild
to the
World.
For as long as I can remember, I've been enchanted by animals. I have spent the last 7 years traveling to wildlife-rich areas of the world with my camera in hand and heart on my sleeve. I've learned about different species and about the lives of individual animals.
I've cried tears of joy, tears of laughter, and tears of sorrow as I watched the lives and deaths of the animals play out in front of me.
Every day I learn more about the plight of animals as well as about their victories. I am on a mission to share what I learn with others so that together we can preserve the wild world for generations to come.
Current Travels
I'm starting 2023 a bit slow after the last quarter of non-stop travel. This quarter, I'm headed to East Africa.
It's been over 30 years since I've been to Tanzania and this will be the first time I'm there for the calving season. I'll be visiting Ngorogoro Crater and the Serengeti. It will be my first time traveling with Tanda Afrika and I'm very much looking forward to the trip.
After the Serengeti portion, I'm returning to Kenya. First some private travel with my sister (organized by Wilderness Uncut) to Ol Donyo, one of the Great Plains Resorts near Amboseli and then to Amboseli for a few days. I'm praying to see animals in much better condition then in November and hoping for lots of grass and greenery. (see my article about the drought here)
After that short trip, I'll be joining Andy Biggs for an intensive Sheldrick Wildlife Trust trip. If you don't know - Sheldrick's is a non-profit that helps orphaned animals (mostly elephants) return back to the wild. They do this starting at their Nairobi nursery and then as they get older, they go to one of the three reintegration units where it can take up to 10-15 years for them to be adopted into a wild family. During this trip, we'll be visiting 2 of the reintegration units. I love the elephants and the work that Sheldrick's does is inspirational.
During the rest of the quarter, I'll be working on my "regular" book keeping job and editing / culling / posting and writing...so stayed tuned.

At sheldricks Ithumba reintegration unit. The orphaned babies were all settled into their stockades and the wild bulls and families came to drink water.
This little one was full of spunk.

A really interesting sighting with one older male lion and 2 younger ones. The story is told on my website about how it all unfolded. From the first tiff to the blond males making their way into the kill.
See the full article on my website. Available on first comment or in my bio.

This beautiful male lion had some oozing wounds on his back and sides and he was covered in flies. They were really irritating him and he’d get up walk and roll and move. He ended up going into a ditch and rubbing himself on the bushes which worked for a few minutes but then they returned.
Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
Thank you @marlondutoit for the editing instructions.

2022 in 3.5 minutes.
I still have about 45,000 images to cull thru and edit. These are not necessarily the best ones… many probably won’t make the Final Cut. Most are straight from the camera and not edited. So please be kind.
it is a good representation of my year of travel.
I hope you enjoy.
In 2022, I traveled with:
@aarons_tours
@wildeyesa x3
@jemuexpeditions
@wildernessuncut
@odysseia_collection x3
And I recommend each of these companies!

Western Lowland Gorilla.
This is the first time I saw this subspecies of gorilla. My other 10 treks were for mountain gorillas.
The differences between this gorilla and the mountain gorilla are vast - in looks and in behavior. (Article coming soon)
6 miles round trip in humidity and an hour spent with this family of 10
One of the many highlights of my trip to Gabon with @odysseia_collection
Not much internet or time to work on images but more to follow when I can

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. During the dry season, elephants come from everywhere to get to the water holes in Hwange. The elephant population soars to over 85,000 elephants.
The water holes are mostly natural areas but are helped by humans through wells and solar pumps. At night, the pumps run with the help of generators.
This life saving water draws elephants from all over.
Here is an artistic rendition of a plethora of elephants.
Thank you @andrewbecksa for helping me push my photography boundaries and @wildeyesa for putting together this amazing trip.

The Topi pride in the early evening getting ready to hunt as a storm approaches.
During my visit with @tembobyjackson while on safari with @odysseia_collection
We saw the topi pride almost every day. They are a huge pride with growing sun adult cubs and need to hunt often to keep them all fed.
They were looking hungry but did not have a successful night.
