While speeding along the Kazinga Channel, where the Nile flows between Lake George and Lake Edward, we startled a pelican resting on the water’s surface.

In a burst of power, it began its takeoff run right alongside the boat, massive wings beating, feet scooping the water. I panned the camera to follow, and in that split second, caught the moment its body lifted free from the river.

10 Years of Brandt Safaris • 20 Years on Safari 🐾

This month marks a milestone that’s both deeply personal and incredibly meaningful: 10 years since Brandt Safaris was born, and 20 years since I first set foot in the African bush as a young safari guide.

What started as a young guide’s dream in the wilds of Southern Africa has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined, a company built entirely on word of mouth, incredible guests, lifelong friendships, and a deep love for the people, places, and wildlife of Africa.

In two decades on safari, I’ve seen leopards raise cubs, elephants teach their young, and travelers’ lives transformed by the magic of the bush. And in the last 10 years, Brandt Safaris has had the privilege of creating journeys that go far beyond game drives, experiences that reconnect people to nature, to family, and often, to themselves.

To everyone who has trusted us with your safari, thank you. We don’t take it lightly. We’ll keep doing what we’ve always done, personal, custom safaris crafted with a lifetime of first-hand knowledge. Here’s to the next 10.

One of my greatest loves on safari is walking with wildlife. There’s nothing quite like exploring Africa on foot, where every step heightens your senses, and the wilderness comes alive in a whole new way. Walking safaris place you on the same level as Africa’s incredible wildlife, creating an intimate and humbling connection that’s impossible to replicate from a vehicle. It’s raw, real, and unforgettable. Some of Africa’s best walking regions offer this unique experience, where you don’t just observe the bush, you become part of it.

One tough trek, straight up and straight down. But the reward? Absolutely worth it.

We reached the troop after an intense drop, just us and the gorillas. One moment stood out, while looking through the lens, I knew this photo was going to be something special. Still in awe of how close we got, how peaceful they were, and how lucky we are to share their world, even briefly.

(And thankfully, the rains stayed away this time so we made it back out unscathed)

What a day.
Trekking through the misty hills of Bwindi in search of mountain gorillas is something that stays with you. Today, we hiked through thick rainforest, until we came face-to-face with one of the world’s most awe-inspiring creatures.

Now, back at our beautiful cabin, the rain continues to fall,drumming steadily on the tin roof while a wood fire crackles beside us. It’s the perfect soundtrack to reflect on a day filled with wonder, connection, and wild beauty.

Bwindi, you’ve left a mark.

From Legend to Legacy: A Remarkable Encounter in Hwange National Park 🦁

On our recent safari in Zimbabwe’s breathtaking Hwange National Park, we had the privilege of crossing paths with one of Cecil the Lion’s sons—a majestic reminder of a legacy that captured hearts worldwide.

This incredible lion embodies strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Hwange’s wild landscapes. Watching him move through his domain was like witnessing history come to life.

Cecil’s story brought attention to the importance of conservation and the challenges Africa’s wildlife faces. Seeing his lineage thriving is a testament to the vital work being done to protect these iconic animals and their habitat.

Every safari moment is unique, but this one was truly unforgettable.

What’s the most awe-inspiring wildlife encounter you’ve experienced? Share below—we’d love to hear your stories!

When lions climb trees…

One of my favorite moments from our recent trip to Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, was spending almost the entire morning with this playful pride. Seeing lions off the ground like this isn’t something you come across every day, making it truly special. They played, lounged, and explored the fallen tree branch, giving us a rare and beautiful sight.

The early morning light added a golden touch, perfectly illuminating the pride and their surroundings. After hours with them, we wrapped up with a memorable bush walk before heading back to camp, feeling deeply connected to this wild, untamed landscape.

Shot on my Canon R5 + RF 24-105mm f/2.8 Z—a lens that never ceases to amaze me when it comes to capturing the fine details of moments like these.
