Back from Africa - wow!

I have just had the perfect photography commission! Three weeks in Richard Branson’s private Game Reserve in South Africa, taking photos of wildlife and guests enjoying the game viewing and everything else the lodge had to offer.

The reserve is called Ulusaba and the website is www.ulusaba.com - everything about the place is fantastic: the staff, the setting, the food, the decor, the service, and of course, the wildlife - a photographer’s dream! Ulusaba also do some great work with the local communities, and most of the staff working there are from one of the nearby villages.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to experience the best that Southern Africa has to offer - what an amazing place for a honeymoon!

Ulusaba also offer a complete wedding package, so you could get married in the Africa bush - don’t forget that you’ll also need a photographer, preferably someone who has been there before!

Here’s a selection (quite a lot!) of some of the many photos that I took during my stay…

What an amazing experience and I'm so glad you posted a few of the images so that everytime I feel a bit blue I can take a look and remember how life should be!
