Inspiring desert horizons and striking rock formations from our bedouin camp in Wadi Rum. The playground of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ and numerous legends from Arabian Nights…..
The eerie rocky landscape around Mt Sinai, makes for fantastic sunrise viewing despite the myriad of package tour groups; exotic pockets of Christians, Muslims and Jews on pilgrimages from all ends of the spectrum. Still nice to know they all have some things in common.
The towering pharaonic guards of the Abel Simbil temple in Ashwan, are truly mesmerising. Built into the rockface by the great Pharaoh Ramses 2, it was moved completely to make way for the Ashwan high damn.
The great pyramids of Giza – the scale of these babies is quite astounding in real life (as are the number of tourists / touts)!
Dhow boats fishing above seaweed gardens, somewhere off the East coast of Zanzibar.
One of innumerable herds of elephants encountered on our Serengeti Safari (including our campsite)…
We came across a pride of more than 20 lions feeding on a buffalo. The cubs just kept appearing!
The endless plains of the Serengeti – where literally hundreds of thousands of animals roam!
