Standing over six feet tall, a man swathed in a colourful Masai shuka strolled confidently toward us. Arms stretched out, welcoming us with a warm and friendly hug. Meet Jackson Looseyia, one of Africa’s finest field guides and former presenter of BBC's Big Cat Live. This recounts a day some years ago that my husband and I, frequent self drive visitors...

After four days of spending morning and evenings with the dogs we finally had to bid farewell to our canid friends. We were both terribly sad to have to leave them as in the short time that we had spent with them we had grown quite attached to these fascinating creatures and had started to identify certain 'personalities' within the...
After a hot and dusty drive, yet this time with the confidence we had all gears in working order we arrived at Third Bridge campsite. As per usual we enquired at the camp office as to what game had been seen recently, with our attention as always on predator activity!

Today's blog catching up on the last day or so is being written as we are midway through a very long journey. A journey we really did not expect to take, nor want to take! More on that in a moment. Yesterday morning was very quiet on the bear front, the morning was cold but this soon turned to warm sunny...
We are clocking up a serious amount of miles at the moment!, partly as at present we are some distance from Jasper NP where all the action is happening and where we have decided to head each day. We have experienced some quite dramatic changes in the weather. The last couple of days have been cloudy and very cold compared to...
The last few days have been characterised by incredibly long days, it's light well before 5am and twilight does not fall until about 10:30pm so we have been maximising every hour to fund bears. Literally looking for wildlife and out 'in the field' for at least 15 hours a day. So by now we are already suffering from sleep deprivation,...
