Stories from the bush

It has always been a dream of mine to be “wild” from a young age I was the sort of child you would find in a tree, a muddy puddle, looking at owl pellets or chatting animatedly about frog spawn. My need to adventure led to a trip to “Africa”, South Africa to be precise and when that dose of adventure kicked in it led to something that created my pathway. I fell in love with all things safari and all things wild. I’m the sort of girl that still picks owl pellets apart to see what it ate, that tracks footprints in the mud and will open apart elephant dung to find a beetle. I’m a curious soul, I love to imagine what the ancient trees saw over the years and chat in birdsong, I ask a lot of questions and watch a lot of interactions. I love talking to people, adding places and species to my “bucket list” what a time it is to be a woman that can freely roam and see all the world has to offer.

Gabon -Loango National Park 

In December 2023 I embarked on a journey back to West Africa to see the Lowland Gorillas and explore the giant forests of Gabon. Loango National Park is an exciting array of giant forests with trees that tower above, the thick canopy providing a safe haven for exotic species found only in the Congo basin. Described as Africa’s final eden its a luxurious blend of forests, rivers, meadows and coastline beaches. One of the few places you can find hippo, crocodiles and sharks all in one confluence READ ON…

NOSY BE - Madagascar

Not many know just how easy and accessible (and affordable ) Nosy Be Island is, just off the north west coast of the mainland. An archipelago easy island has a tale to tell from the cat loving Sakatia to the lemur island Nosy Komba. Each has its own endemic species and is teaming with unique and colourful wildlife….READ ON‍ ‍

Central African Republic & Republic of Congo

In May 2025 I went back to West Africa to see the Lowland Gorillas and explore the giant forests of Central African Republic and Republic of Congo. From the giant blue turacos that stole my heart to the giant river hogs, water buffalo and forest elephants that we viewed overnight in platforms on the bais to the apes we trekked through the jungle for through storms and ants, this was really an adventure but it was worth every minute… READ ON…

Luiwa National Park - Zambia

Luiwa National Park in the west of Zambia is a vast open flood plain that houses the second largest wildebeest migration in Africa. From endemic birds to their famous lions despite its obvious attractions it is still very wild and devoid of mass tourism. Taking the chance to go and see African Park’s new lodge, I visited here just before the incoming annual rains which allowed for some beautiful wildflowers, huge numbers of wildebeest and of course some epic storms ….

Elephants can detect water for up to 12 miles or 19.3 Kms away, their powerful trunks are somewhat of a superpower. In times of drought they can dig deep into seemly dry riverbeds creating makeshift wells.
