A new safari report is now online, following a bespoke February 2026 photographic journey through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu and the Central Serengeti during Tanzania’s green and calving season.
Every year on 12 August, World Elephant Day reminds us how extraordinary elephants are — and why protecting them and their habitat matters. The initiative began in 2012 and today brings together people and conservation organisations around the world.
Some wildlife encounters stay with you long after the journey is over.
My first encounter with African wild dogs was one of them.

On August 10, we celebrate the lion—not only as a symbol of Africa, but as an apex predator whose survival is vital to the future of the savannah.
When we see a lion, elephant, leopard or colourful bird, our first instinct is simple:
Photograph it.
We focus on the animal, on the eyes, on sharpness and exposure.
But later, when we review the image, we sometimes realise that something is missing.
Very often, the problem is not the animal.
It is everything around it.

A short editorial update on why the January 2027 journey is timed around the Great Migration calving season: Ndutu, southern Serengeti, newborn wildlife, big cats, green landscapes and emotional photographic opportunities.
I have come back from more than one safari convinced that I had captured a strong image, only to discover later that it was not as sharp as it had looked on the camera screen.
It is frustrating.
The moment was there. The light was good. The animal was beautiful. But when I opened the file on a larger screen, the image looked soft.

For many years, whenever people asked me about my favourite places in Tanzania, my answer was rarely the Serengeti.
Instead, I often spoke about the vast wilderness of Nyerere, the baobab-covered landscapes of Ruaha and the feeling of exploring places where nature still seems to follow its own rhythm.
This Photographic Safari is an invitation to discover exactly that.

A short editorial update on why the June 2027 journey is planned around Ruaha and Katavi: early dry-season atmosphere, baobab landscapes, buffalo herds, predators, low visitor density and remote Tanzanian wilderness.
