Honoured to produce this, in collaboration with eco-activist composer John Luther Adams, for Brighton Festival Chorus. Tonight’s nature-inspired Brighton Festival concert features Adams’ gloriously contemplative soundscapes.
It’s sure to be a cracker.

It’s brilliant that the @InspireGlobal_ Media Awards for positive impact travel storytelling received so many entries this year.
Truly honoured to be a multiple-category finalist for the third year in a row.
The shortlist is superb.

Curiosity killed the… giraffe?
(But not this time, happily)

Mpandu, one of Okonjima’s famous leopards, is around a year old, and a bundle of swagger and energy.
Fabulous to see him in action yesterday

New directions in safari camp design: Camp Kala takes its inspiration from Etosha’s iconic, putty-grey termite mounds #OngumaNatureReserve #Namibia

Who says that safari camps have to be all brown and beige? Ardmore Design textiles and jazzy beading hit just the right note for a green season safari in #OngumaNatureReserve #Etosha #Namibia

Next level lushness in Onguma Nature Reserve, Namibia, thanks to this year’s record rains. Long grass, wildflowers, butterflies. The reserve staff have never seen it quite like this

Sunset and sunrise in Onguma Nature Reserve, Namibia. Superb night’s sleep in the Dream Cruiser, an exceptional safari sleepout. It’s a very rare privilege to be totally alone in the wilderness (with just a friendly gecko for company). Woke to the sound of lions roaring, far in the distance

There’s been loads of rain in #Namibia recently. Big drops fell as I arrived. Heady scent of petrichor. A blessing!

The quiver trees in Windhoek’s botanical garden are topped with bright shoots. In all my previous visits, I’ve never seen it as green as this.

Wonderful to be back in #Namibia. The Windhoek - modern and quiet, with rooms named after regional wines - is a serene place to decompress after the journey. Birds chirping softly all around
