Fishermen on Lake Malawi I travelled to Malawi for the first time in April this year, spending a week in the “Warm Heart of Africa”. It was a wonderful experience and for once, the slogan is true. Malawi is spectacular, her people are extremely friendly and yet for European travellers – especially from the Nordic […]
This picture of an elephant splashing around in the water at Hyena Pan in Botswana was captured as a still from a video and then processed for colour and tone in Adobe Lightroom. I was kind of bowled over by the almost painting-like effect of the end product. #botswanasafari2015

One of the countless highlights of my trip to Botswana with Sunway Safaris was undoubtedly this: gliding gracefully through the waters of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro or dug-out canoe.
