Travelling to South Africa for 5 weeks to photograph the amazing wildlife, it was much more than a photo op. It was also for a love of animals and an opportunity to give back by volunteering at the C.A.R.E. Baboon and Animal Sanctuary and Siyafunda Wildlife & Conservation. To be immersed in "the wild", to be surrounded by wild elephants, to follow two male cheetahs, to witness a family of lions eat a "kill", to have hyenas circle my tent at bush camp...well, it was one of my best life experiences. And the photo ops were fab too.
