In August this year I will be packing my backpack full of camera kit and hopping on a plane to the African wilds of Zambia. My mission: to film and edit a number of short promotional films of the animals, plants, people and scenery of the South Luangwa National Park.
The films will be made for the Bush Camp Company, a safari company who have operated in Zambia for the last 11 years and who lead what are regarded to be the best walking safaris on the continent with some of Africa‘s most experienced guides, including the famous naturalist Phil Berry. I have the amazing luck to be based at their recently refurbished Mfuwe Lodge, overlooking a spectacular ox-box lake (yes these do exist outside GCSE textbooks) in the heart of the unspoilt grassland and miombo woodland of the Luangwa Valley.
During my three month stay I’ll hopefully get a chance to film their walking safaris and game drives, as well as the many conservation initiatives that have been set up through the Bush Camp Company to preserve the amazing habitat and the livelihoods of those who live there.
As I film and photograph the incredible sights and sounds of life in the African bush I will add them here as I go - I look forward to sharing the adventure.
