Nature & Wildlife
There are so many positive reasons why humans seek out animals. Often, we just want to get a glimpse into their lives, to watch their bodies move across the landscape, to see how they struggle and how they thrive in nature.
Nature & Wildlife
“The early morning and evening light on the sand dunes and tree skeletons in Sossusvlei and the Kulala Wilderness Reserve provided some of the most dramatic views and photos from our trip to Namibia.
Asia & The Pacific
“It is difficult to select a favorite experience from my wild China odyssey—the opportunities to visit multiple panda bases, to see rare species in the wild, to visit historical sites, to interact with Chinese locals, to travel through remote regions of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces…. how to choose?
Travel Tales
This is an unreal tale about an unusual creature in a far-away jungle… About 25 years ago at my old travel company, a member of the sales department picked up a call from a potential client.
Alaska
“This trip is exactly what it’s called. My wife and I took this Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari with a small group of 12 in early July, when the daylight is an average of 18 hours. Our group size allowed us to get to know each other and travel in the comfort of a small vehicle.
