posted by

  How far would you go for photography? An obsession with active volcanoes can put you in some pretty dangerous situations; Mount Yasur on Tanna Island, in Vanuatu might have been my most challenging photography to date. If you are the adventure traveller, the adrenaline junkie or just like playing with fire then this volcano […]

posted by

  Picture yourself cooking dinner whilst sitting around the campfire. You can hear the hippos grunting from the shore, the chorus of the insects and the wood crackling in the fire. In the distance a large shadow appears out of the surrounding darkness and it takes you several seconds before you can recognise what animal […]

There are countless jewellery shops, fast food chains and most interestingly Chinese medical stores.  Walking into one of the many Chinese medicine stores will baffle you with the items of unknown dried products on offer.  Asking about these weird items only leaves you with […]

The unspoken truths about the Maassi Mara

posted by

“This panoramic view is what I imagine heaven to look like,” I overheard a fellow visitor comment. With the multi-coloured crepuscular rays breaking through the clouds, the waist high golden grass contrasted against the blue and purple hues of the hills and the animal surprises popping up behind every bush, I’m sure a lot of […]

Okavango Delta Walking Safari and Wild Camping, Botswana “Whatever you hear in the night, do not get out of your tent.”  Were the words from our guide just before crashing for the evening.  It was only a few hours later that we were awoken to the extremely near sound of animals, I could hear the […]

Can you imagine driving along a road at night and seeing an oncoming vehicle with something white coming out of one of the windows?  Only to get closer and realise it’s somebody’s bottom and they are pissing! Let’s just say I had refused to pull the car over for one of the Israeli boys to […]
