Explore Wildlife-Rich Destinations from Around the World

Next year, I'm slowing down on my travel (cutting from over 160 days / year to under 100) to give me time to focus on writing and culling / editing images.    So these destination links will be filling up quickly starting in 2024.   Be sure to join the newsletter to get notified when there is additional content.

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 will be finishing up my trip to South Luangwa National Park the beginning of October.

I have one more month in Kenya for the year and then I'll be done traveling for a long time (for me).    In Kenya, I'll be staying at 3 locations in the Great Masai Mara area (the Masai Mara and conservancies).    

* Enonkishu Conservancy - this is a new conservancy and a new lodge for me

* Masai Mara National Reserve - a new lodge

* then off to Olare Motorogi Conservancy to a lodge I've been to before.

After the mara, I'll be moving to Laikipia Wilderness Camp in search of the black leopard.   When my outfitter suggested it, I said no because I know the black leopards have become super popular and I didn't want to add stress to the animals -- but then I found out the leopard is on a private conservancy and the number of vehicles is limited...and they had availability for my dates...so black leopard (hopefully) here I come!   Although I've been to many reserves in Laikipia, this will be a new area and new lodge for me.

I'm super excited to be returning to Kenya.   This will be my third trip this year and the anticipation never gets any less.   Even though I've gone on wildlife safaris in 10 countries in Africa, Kenya is still my favorite.   I'm going to work on posting while away - so be sure to follow me on social media so you don't miss anything!   Facebook  and / or Instagram. Please note, while traveling, I do post the same content to both platforms.

This is a little trouble maker cub - well trouble maker is probably not the right way to describe her.  She was super inquisitive and very daring.

This pride consisted of 2 mamas and their cubs.  They loved to hang out in a grove of acacia bushes (acacia bushes are ones with long thorns as you can see in the top left of the image). They were often deep in the bushes and we would wait for them to come out into little openings so we could see them.

This little girl was the smallest and most daring of the cubs.  She chased birds and would wonder a bit too far away from the safety of mama and auntie.  So they would have to call her back and she reluctantly returned.

Often, you can see cubs playing in the open savannah.  This was a much different experience watching them thru the bushes trying to get shots as they went into a clear area or between the bushes.

Seenka, the male lion I posted before is from the coalition that fathered these cubs.

Most cats don't particular appreciate rain.  I've seen many big cats look absolutely pathetic (I say this lovingly) in a big rain storm.

Seenka didn't seem to mind.  Not sure if the rain is very visible but it was coming down pretty steady - and you can see by his flat mane on the top of his head that it did have an effect on his beautiful fluffy mane.

He actually seemed to enjoy the shower.

Seenka is one of the most beautiful male lions I've seen and quickly became one of my new favorites when I was staying at House in the Wild a few weeks ago.

We got to see him and one of his brothers as well as his pride including young cubs - more on them later.

When a lioness with impossibly amber eyes - laying super close to the vehicle - decides to give you here full attention.

Piercing eyes! - but still sweet looking.

I love this cub… I feel the image captures the playful side of a cub but also the fierce predator he’s becoming. 

I spent time with this cub on two occasions.  It was just him and his mama.  No other lions around. 

I have no idea of his origin story…more mysteries… did he and mama leave when a new coalition came to take over?  Were they just separated for a few days?  As the only cub, what is his future going to look like?

Chobe River, Botswana. 

A herd of Cape buffalo were crossing between two islands. 

I could see a young one was struggling (not in the video)...it looked like he was maybe getting stuck in the mud under the water. 2 adult buffalo went in towards the baby and quickly turned around to go back to shore. The baby made progress towards the shore and I thought everything was ok. 

Then the guide said that a crocodile had the baby. We got closer and I started to film. 

We could see the crocodile had the baby by a front leg. The baby fought so hard for over 14 minutes. 

He would get close to shore and we thought we was free and then the croc would swim him out more into the river. It was a difficult 14 minutes watching the baby fighting with all its might to survive. 

A second crocodile came from behind us and that was the end for the baby Cape buffalo. 

2 buffalo - an adult and another young one stood watching from the shore line. I'm guessing the adult was the mama. It's always hard to watch animals struggling to survive. It is nature but it doesn't make it any easier to witness.

The Chobe River is a great location for wildlife interactions.
