The colour tone of the wildlife scenes filmed over the last month by our guests and guides has changed, indicative of the rains that have been falling in Kenya. Rivers are rising, and a green-flush blankets the landscape from ol Donyo Lodge to Mara Plains, depicting summer’s arrival.

As Tembo Plains in Zimbabwe closed, lightning flashed across the skies, and the clouds burst, not a day too soon. 

In Botswana, the Duba wild dogs continue to keep us on the edge of our seats, some days with puppies missing and then reappearing. Large herds of elephants ‘floated’ across the Selinda plains like gigantic grey sailing ships on a trade wind that takes them within touching distance of Zarafa’s deck, barely giving our guests a glance. They have done this before. The etched pathways are a testament to that; their nonchalant swagger indicates that they know what they are doing.

It is these interactions that have always excited Beverly and Dereck Joubert as they go about their films for National Geographic. It delights us when Great Plains guests are perfectly positioned by our guides to see and photographically capture these moments well. Their images tell the stories and tales of what happens and what can be seen on safari if you are in the right hands.  

Each month, the quality of this shared photography gets better, and the videos more exciting.

As we roll brand new cameras into each of our guest’s rooms and suites in preparation for the season ahead, exciting seasons of colour will continue to develop.
