A happy couple in the Maasai Mara. Spotting this crowned crane family was such an unexpected, heartwarming surprise. The chicks were so precious to watch, and the parents were so gentle as they preened each other. This was proof to me that love exists in the animal kingdom.

We found this beautiful cheetah at sunrise, on the very first day of safari. She was relaxed this morning, lounging in the grass as hot air balloons rose in the air above us. A perfect start to the day

TIGERS & RED PANDAS - INDIA & NEPAL 2027

I’m so excited to finally announce one of my most unique trips yet! For this expedition, I’ll be teaming up with Ethical wildlife and their incredible team of local guides, naturalists, and trackers as we explore this special region.

For 15 days, we’ll journey through India and Nepal in search of two of Asia’s most incredible and elusive animals: Bengal tigers and wild red pandas.

We’ll begin in India with 10 tiger safaris across three different reserves - Dudhwa, Kishanpur and Pilibhit - giving us five full days in the field searching for tigers, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and other wildlife.

Then, we’ll trade the grasslands for the mountains and journey into the eastern Himalayas, where five dedicated trackers will head into the forest each morning to help us search for wild red pandas. We’ll spend three full days exploring these forests on foot, surrounded by incredible birdlife and Himalayan scenery.

After all of our wildlife adventures, we’ll slow things down in Fikkal with a relaxing stay at a local tea estate, enjoying tea tastings and the peaceful surroundings. A perfect way to end our journey through India and Nepal.

Along the way, we’ll experience mountain villages, rolling tea country, panoramic Himalayan views, and some of the most beautiful and remote landscapes in the world.

This trip is intentionally limited to just 5 guests, allowing us to keep the experience small, personal, and photography-focused.

This was one of my most memorable mornings.

We found four lion brothers moving through the grass at sunrise. The light was changing by the second, and before I understood what was happening, their attention moved to a buffalo over a hill.

Almost instantly, they began to move towards it and within two minutes, the four brothers had taken her down.

As they began to feed, we realized the buffalo had been pregnant. The lions tore open her belly and pulled out the unborn calf.

Wildlife photography can make it easy to focus on beautiful light, clean backgrounds and the perfect frame. But nature isn’t always beautiful in the way we want it to be. Sometimes it’s violent and uncomfortable.

But this is exactly why I love wildlife photography. It’s so unexpected. I have spent countless hours waiting for wildlife action, just for nothing to happen. And then there are mornings like this, when everything happens before you’ve even had time to process what you’re witnessing. Nature truly is incredible.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget this one.

Happy World Primate Day!
One year ago, on this very day, I had the most extraordinary encounter with mountain gorillas in the beautiful region of Mgahinga, Uganda. These gentle giants were so captivating, and I will always remember that day as one of the most special days of my life.

Throughout Uganda, I also met the rambunctious wild chimpanzees, the agile black and white colobus monkeys, and many more fascinating primate species. Uganda, specifically Kibale National Park, is often referred to as the primate capital of the world. It is an insane privilege to have been able to spend quality time with these remarkably intelligent animals, and I am forever grateful.

Later this year I will return to East Africa and trek the green mountains again for the endangered mountain gorillas - but this time in two new locations: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda and Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. I am so excited to see these beautiful animals again, and meet two new gorilla families! I will also have the honor of searching for endangered golden monkeys - which would be a new primate for me.

All of this to say, in honor of World Primate Day, here are some of my favorite photos from last year in Uganda ❤️🦍 and here’s to many more wonderful primate encounters!

The moments before the strike, when a young male lion spots a buffalo in the distance. His brothers are already closing in through the tall grasses. It’s amazing to see the concentration in his eyes.

Hunts can happen so quickly, and this photo was taken just 2 minutes before a buffalo was brought down.

This morning was one out of dreams. The lighting was so perfect. So heavenly, as the grasses and the lion’s mane glowed the hues of the morning sun.
