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.

South Luangwa - Zambia

Not so much of an adventure as a lifestyle, might be a more accurate description, I have spent three years living in the land of the leopard. Zambia can best be described as still wild an obvious attraction to myself. From leopards living in trees above my room to Mel’s fishing owls dropping catches on my doorstep living in the wild brings a new story and adventure each day …. READ ON

Elephants cant 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.
