Wildlife – International

Elephants of Zambia

Words cannot express the character of the Savannah Elephant. Even as they struggle for survival, they exude wisdom and community, expressing most clearly that some places would be fine without us.

Big cats of Zambia

I always hope for a wild cat sighting, enjoying the occasional bobcat and hoping for a cougar, but nothing prepared for the African Lion or Leopard. Encountered in savannah and woodland habitats along the floodplain of the Luangwa and Zambezi Rivers.

Zambian Menagerie

Wonderful encounters with Giraffes, Crocodiles, Impalas, and many others during a Zambian excursion in 2025.

Birds of Zambia

The big animals animals get all the attention, but their avian neighbors amaze. If my list is accurate, I experienced over 50 species, from the stately eagles to the arobatic bee-eaters. I spent hours with kingfishers and rollers. Fabulous.
