During a fabulous visit in the Niassa reserve in northern Mozambique, Paula Ferro introduced me to Bibi and Elisa, two wonderful ladies who still create amazing potteries following a traditional method dating two millennia. The clay is collected on the river beds of...

Speed! this is how I lived my life. I craved for adrenaline charged action. Then, I sat on a mokoro in the Okavango delta, probably the slowest moving boat on the planet. I discovered a whole new feeling, very deep, very profound. One of peace! My mind was in perfect...

Bear Creek trail is the most popular trail in Telluride, Colorado. Relatively accessible, by foot, mountain bike or back-country skis, the trail follows Bear creek to a mesmerizing waterfall. I have been hiking the 6km round-trip, 300m elevation trail on every visit,...

Every evening, around sunset, the youth in Stone Town gather on the pier for diving in some sort of contest. They show pretty incredible skills, scary at times. This improvised show brings quite the crowd, filled with locals of all ages. If you ever visit Zanzibar,...

If it wasn’t for some skilled networking friends able to meet inspiring people, I most likely would never have heard about the Niassa reserve in northern Mozambique. I was thrilled to tag along for a few days, taking a break from the awful pandemic and its...

Victoria Falls, on the Zambezi river, is often considered to be the most picturesque of the world biggest waterfalls. Geologic faults create weak points in the basaltic rocks, and in return preferential erosion from the large volume of water collected by the Zambezi...

In the nature reserves South of Maputo, just North of Ponta Chemucane, lies the Anvil Bay lodge. Reaching the pristine beach of the lodge presents some challenges: there are no roads in the reserves, merely some sandy tracks, necessitating the use of powerful...

I visited London recently to attend a meeting and I was fortunate enough to land very early on a crip sunday morning in Heathrow. My brother in law, a talented amateur photographer, was very kind to take me to one of his favorite spots on the outskirts of London,...

Thanks to intelligent conservation policies, the waterbucks in the Gorongosa have recovered in an impressive way. From a few hundreds of specimen in 2002, they are now over 57,000. It cannot yet compare to the shear number of wildebeests in the greater Serengeti but I...

The Gorongosa in Mozambique was once the lost Eden of Africa. This jewel is being rediscovered slowly and most importantly, many species are being re-introduced. Decades of civil war and intense poaching have decimated this amazing land. The stories of the Gorongosa...

During a short transit in Beira, we find our way to Biques, a crowded and reknown bar on the beach, right at sunset. 4 days of high temperature in Mozambique with record highs above 43˚C, in conjunction with numerous wild or induced fires, created this surrealist...

The African Buffalo, a member of the african Big Fives, is one of my favorite animal to photograph. When he doesn’t fill threatened, he is usually curious, perfect for portraits. They often live in large herds, grazing the open grassland. The older males are...

The Serengeti in Tanzania is a place dear to my heart, not just for its spectacular wildlife. I really enjoy exploring the vastness of the plains, it is so peaceful and quiet. Watching the grass moving from the light breeze next to some of the most beautiful trees on...

I braved the Friday afternoon rush hours in the Bay area to head up to Lake Tahoe for a very short weekend. The scenery is stunning, with granitic outcrops everywhere. Despite a lack of clouds, experiencing this place on a bright sunny day is something to remember....

In my opinion, Hyenas do not deserve to be part of the African “ugly fives”. They do have an odd shape with their short back legs and thick and powerful neck and jaws. They are also very cute, in their own way, particularly when you can interact with them....

Anti-poaching rules prevents us from using drones to capture aerial photography in the Serengeti. An alternative to shoot from the sky is to use hot air balloons, an experience that goes far beyond photography. I got the chance to experience it in two occasions, once...

Elmon Mhlongo, our tracker, was tracking this lion in the dense bush of Londolozi at dusk, unsuccessfully. We abandoned our search and instead stoped in a great location for a sundowner with traditional G&T. a sudden roaring in the far distance interrupted us....

I heard that if you spend two nights at Londolozi game reserve in Sabi Sands, South Africa, you will see leopards. I was skeptical, leopards are elusive cats. I was stunned when we encountered a female leopard with its recent catch of the day, an adult impala she...

The great migration in the Serengeti/Mara region is certainly one of the greateast natural spectacle that one can see. Most favour the famous Mara Crossing when thousands of wildebeests cross the Mara river at once, into Kenya. Although I attempted to see this from...

When I shoot black & white photographs, I search for contrast and light. Storms typically offer both. They create dramatic scenes. I was particularly fortunate to take a picture of this Lion who was gently walking away from an incoming storm, during the wet...
