I recently shot at Amadwala lodge in Muldersdrift. A place you would never expect to see where it is. Driving along the busy Joburg roads you arrive at a sanctuary in the Honeydew hills that makes you feel as if you have driven 2 hours out of Johannesburg and into a game farm. The cabins […]

Hotel White Sands | Dar es Salaam
Just outside the hustle and bustle of Dar es Salaam lies Hotel White Sands. A tranquil oasis in the usually traffic ridden city. This beautiful spot has a huge beachfront that looks out to the neighboring local islands and is the perfect spot for exploring the city. Tweet
Elephant portfolio
Elephants as a subject have been a long time favourite of mine. Over years and years of photographing them I’ve put together a little portfolio of some of my favourite images. I hope you enjoy them! Tweet
Photographing La Digue | Part 2
There are loads of beautiful and traditional places to stay on the island but these would be my recommendations for a traveller looking for a little bit more luxury and a hotel vibe. Where to stay: Reccomended accommodation: Le Domaine de l’Orangeraie La Digue island lodge Patatran Hotel How to get there: Flights from South […]
Photographing La Digue | Part 1
The islands of the Seychelles are some of the most beautiful in the world. Azure tropical blues of the seas, emerald greens of palm trees and Coco de Mer plants and jet black granitic rocks are mixed with the soft hues of the evening and morning light. All of these aspects make up the perfect […]
Photo of the day | The evening sea | Mauritius
Just after the sun goes down, there is a moment in time where the world turns an incredible shade of blue. This moment lasts about 20 minutes in total and is probably my most favourite time of the day to shoot. On this particular day I had noticed the jetty and was excited to see […]

Some eye candy of gorgeous Mauritius for the weekend. These photos were all taken from a helicopter over the east coast of the island – Ambre hotel, Le Tousserok and Ile aux Cerf all feature as the stars of this shoot. Anybody ready to book a ticket with me?? If this isn’t enough to send […]
Photo of the day | Sunrise on La Digue, Seychelles
This is one of the shots I took while photographing the gorgeous Anse La Farine on Praslin. Imagine this view every morning all to yourself…Anse La Farine is situated on a beach only accessible by boat and the entire beach is yours exclusively. I will be posting more on this amazing property soon. For now, […]
Sunrise from the top of Africa | Kilimanjaro
I was going through my old my photos this morning and I came across some of my favourites. My Kilimanjaro pictures. This was one trip I will never forget and would probably do again so that I can take better pictures! Although these pics aren’t the greatest technically I feel like they portray the feeling […]

Margaruque island is located off the coast of Vilanculos in the Bazaruto archipelago. To sum the island up you have flamingos in the distance, deserted beaches and the snorkeling of your dreams on your doorstep… If you haven’t made a trip to northern Mozambique put it on your bucket list!! Read more about the area […]
Wildlife photography tips
Seeing as there is some exciting news on the horizon regarding me and wildlife photography – I will be sharing it in a few weeks time – I thought I’d put together a little post on some general tips on wildlife photography for those of you who follow me for this specific genre. Please let […]
Where wild meets the sea & elephants swim in the ocean
Saadani is a rare jewel in anyone’s eyes. Where else can you find a national park that is fringed with palm trees and a warm Indian ocean? There are only a few places in the world where you can enjoy the excitement of lions in the bush behind you and Green turtles nesting on the […]
An Indian Ocean Idyll | Mnemba island, Zanzibar
Barefoot luxury off the coast of Zanzibar on Mnemba Island. 2 kilometers off the sandy shores of the African spice island, Zanzibar, lies another island, not too big in size but certainly big in arm chair traveller’s dreams, beauty and little treasures that make you feel like you are stepping onto royal soil. The […]
The Travel Cult
His face is sunburnt and leathery, his hat flapping in the sea breeze as he passes it to you, explaining that you shouldn’t pass the Talking parrot otherwise you might have gone too far. You take the key and head to your hotel room. Travel is a drug. Think about it, you try it once, […]
I heart Vilanculos
Mozambique on a whole makes my heart flutter, but Vilanculos makes it fly. I think one of the reasons is because driving up through Moz from Joburg is quite a drive and although it is a pretty drive, nothing can prepare you for what you arrive to in Vilanculos. The sea looks as if colours […]
Must-do’s in Mauritius
After recently returning from a beautiful trip to Mauritius (even though it was for work 🙂 ) I thought I should give you all a run down on the best things to do around the island. There are many blogs out there letting you know the popular conventional (and awesome) things to do and so […]
A Lion hunt outside my room | Tau lodge | Madikwe
A few weeks ago I was shooting Tau lodge in Madikwe. After the morning drive I went back to my room to shower and when I got out, I went to look on my balcony to see if there was anything interesting walking about at the watering hole (all of the rooms are positioned in […]
A Perfect Elephant Sunset | Madikwe
On a recent shoot at Tau lodge in Madikwe, one evening we came across a huge herd of elephants having a few sunset drinks themselves at Tlou dam. I have shot at this dam before and absolutely love the sculptural trees. Anytime here is worth it. On this particular evening the elephants gave us the […]
Mountain Sanctuary Park | Landscapes
A few weeks ago my little brother and I went to play around at Mountain Sanctuary park, about an hour and a half from Joburg. We were on the hunt for some landscape shots and had plenty of opportunity to take some great shots. The park has numerous hiking and biking trails, huge rock formations, […]
All you need is love…
I thought this would be appropriate for today…a bond between a mother and her cub is easy to see. I took this sequence of photos in the Serengeti last year. Until now I wasn’t happy with just one of the pictures and couldn’t decide to share any one image by itself – I felt it […]
