Kidepo Valley National Park

October 7, 2010

I wandered from the tent barefoot onto the warm red earth, which was still steaming from the deluge.  Water trickled down the nearby kopje (rock outcrop) and ran through parts of our almost hill-top camp.  I raised the binoculars to look across the valley for game, pausing briefly to marvel at the views.  Kidepo is [...]

October 7, 2010

The River Nile thunders past as it has done for millennia, yet it is in a constant state of flux. As the light fades, the bird activity increases and it’s as though were are in a flight-path for species of all shapes and sizes. From the comfort of my high-backed dining chair, I look over [...]

An Elephant for breakfast

June 23, 2010
