Partially to
combat the home sickness and because I am very interested in wildlife
having been on many safari trips in Africa myself (over fifty now), I started surfing around
the web for any safari
stories and photos I could find.
It took me some time
to find any as they were scattered all over the internet.
I was hoping for a website that housed
all the safari trip reports and diaries in one place, but it didn't seem to
exist.So I decided to build a website like that myself and
founded
African
Safari Journals.
I'm also a keen photographer specialising in
African wildlife photography and I have had the privilege to be able to write a
photography e-book about what I have learnt over the years. Most of the wildlife
pictures on this site are my efforts.
African Safari Journals actually
has a dual purpose. It's not just a repository for African safari experiences but it also serves an important
conservation function.
African wildlife conservation is something I
am passionate about and I believe that global awareness of African
wildlife will contribute to it's
survival for future generations. The more people that know about the
exquisite and indescribable beauty of Africa the better.
So if you have been on a safari in
Africa, why not let me put up a webpage about your trip which will also be your entry into a contest to win a walking safari in the Kruger National Park. (learn more). You will be doing your bit for conservation by increasing
peoples awareness of Africa.
Not to mention the fact that you
will also be able to show your friends and family worldwide what
you got up to on your African safari and preserve it for posterity.
If you haven't been to Africa yet and are still thinking about going on safari,
please feel free to browse
through all the safari trip reports available.
They contain
informed, independent and unbiased advice that you just won't find
anywhere else. I hope that African Safari Journals can be a valuable resource
to you as you plan your
dream safari in Africa.
And it really will be like a dream
come true. I have been on many African safaris (over fifty and counting) and every time they finish I
struggle to leave and come back to
'reality'.
There is not much to compare with the
peace and beauty that an African safari provides you. So when you do get back
and after you have recovered from the shock of not being on safari
anymore,
let me know how it went.
I really enjoy any stories and pictures about African safaris. It makes me feel like I am in the
African bush again and for me, that really is one of the best
places in the world to be.
See you on safari
