On this site you will find information about most of the major wildlife reserves in Southern Africa. I've tried to include useful information for people who are planning a trip to Africa, and for photographers. On this website you'll find lots of information and pictures from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Parks covered on this website include the Kruger National Park, Hluhluwe - Imfolozi, Addo Elephant NP, Mountain Zebra NP, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, West-Coast National Park, Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Timbavati Game Reserve, Sossusvlei, Victoria Falls, Nxai Pan NP, Savuti, Chobe, Moremi, Linyanti, the Okavango Delta, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and Etosha. Latest changes to the site (22 August 2009) The last couple of weeks I've been working on pictures from my most recent trip to SOuth Africa. During this trip I visited Kruger, Sabi Sands, Mountain Zebra NP, Addo NP, the gannet colony on Bird Island in Lamberts Bay and I went out on a shark boat to try to get some pictures of breaching white sharks in False Bay. To start with the last item: I unfortunately didn't get to see any breaches. I went out early in the season and as luck would have it the sharks didn't feel like breaching yet. I'll give it another try in September 2010. The trips to the parks were a big succes. Kruger was very green and lush so photography there was a bit of a mission, but I managed to get some decent pictures in the 48 hours that I was in the park. You can find the pictures from Kruger NP here. My stay in Sabi Sand was a big succes. I joined a photographic safari which was hosted by OutdoorPhotography (ODP) at Elephant Plains Game Lodge. I'd stayed at Elephant Plains a number of times before so I knew that leopards sightings would be very good. I wasn't disappointed, we saw leopards on all eight game drives. I'll upload pictures from the photographic safari at Elephant Plains in the coming weeks.
 Mountain Zebra National Park was a first for me. I didn't know what to expect in the park but I wasn't disappointed. The weather didn't really help the first day as the sky was overcast the whole day but the second day the weather cleared up and I managed to get some decent shots. You can find pictures I took in Mountain Zebra NP during this trip here. After Mountain Zebra NP I moved to Addo Elephant NP for a four night stay. Addo is famous for it's elephants but on this trip the other animals stole the show. I had a number of very good lion sightings and my best sighting so far of a Black Rhino. You can find pictures I took in Addo Elephant NP during this trip here. After Addo Elephant NP I went to Lamberts Bay to photograph the gannet colony at Bird Island. I'd been there once before in 2004 and I'd been wanting to go back there since. I stayed in Lamberts Bay for two nights and spend the mornings and afternoons at the colony. The weather was good and I managed to get some cool gannet shots. Check the results of my two days at the gannet colony here.
