The African continent is known for everything from wild safaris to rich indigenous cultures. My first big trip on my own was to Africa. My friend was going home to Tanzania and invited me to come along. The sense of adventure was high, and my sense of danger and risk was focussed on whether I had enough roles of film. That first safari set the stage for a lifelong (so far) outlook on seeing the natural wonders of the world.

This collection has been a long time in the making. It combines images from my first trip to Tanzania and images from my latest trip to Zambia. There are sweeping landscapes that make you feel both small and big at the same time; portraits of iconic African animals giving us a glimpse of their life worn on their faces; and scenes of animals in their habitats bringing us into their world.
