Spectacular Carmine Bee-eaters!

Photo taken from a boat on the Zambezi river near the Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia.

Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 180-600.

The Southern Carmine Bee-eater (Merops nubicoides) is a large, migratory bird known for its vibrant pinkish-red plumage, turquoise crown, and long tail. It breeds colonially in sandbanks across sub-equatorial Africa, feeding on flying insects like bees and termites. The species undertakes a complex migration, spending August to November in countries like Zambia and Zimbabwe for breeding, then moving south to South Africa for the summer before heading north to equatorial Africa from March to August.

The lunar eclipse a few days ago.
Lusaka, Zambia.

On September 7, 2025 we witnessed a spectacular full lunar eclipse when the moon came into the shadow of the earth.

Photo one (the orange blood moon).
Taken at the end of the eclipse when the shadow started to move away.
Very little light!
ISO 4000, F 1/7.1 0.4 sec.

Photo two (the normal Grey color).
Taken about 90 minutes later.
A lot of light!
ISO 200, F 1/8,0, 1/1000 sec.

Bon Jovi.

Liuwa Plains National Park is one of Zambia's true treasures.

It is famous for the second largest Wildebeest Migration in Africa.
It has wide open plains and spectacular wildlife.

Most famous of all is (was) Bon Jovi, a beautiful male lion, with a hairstyle to match his name.

Unfortunately these might be among the last photos made of him here, because he was moved to the Kafue National Park a few weeks ago.

His family and kids are still there, carrying his genes and probably his good looks!

We organize tailor made Mobile and Photographic Safaris here.
Please go to www.bushdiscovery.com

Join me there for a Photographic Safari!

Rhino's in the Lusaka National Park, Zambia.

There are 2 beautiful White Rhinos here that are wonderful to photograph.

Their horns are partly cut to better protect them. On one of the photos I added the tip of the horn in Photoshop.

Join me there for a Photographic Safari!
(and to learn how to add the tip of the horn digitally).

Leopards paradise!

In October 2024 I visited the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia with 2 Dutch clients for a fantastic Photographic Safari!

We stayed at Kutali and Chula Camp, both run by Classic Zambia.

We were very privileged to see lots of predators.
In this post photos of the leopards we saw.
We saw them hunting, eating, climbing, drinking and even witnessed a mother with her pup.

Classic Zambia, a Zambian touroperator that runs lodges in the Lower Zambezi National Park and the Kafue National Park, posted this photo of mine recently on their page.

I was there for a Photographic Safari with 2 Dutch clients. We really enjoyed the great guiding and the spectacular sightings! Among which elephants, lions, leopards and Buffalos.
The great food and a beautiful wild location in the Lower Zambezi National Park made the trip complete.

Warm regards, Wim Werrelman

We had the very talented Wim Werrelman back with us this season. Escorting a small group of wildlife photographers they enjoyed time at our camps in the Lower Zambezi. I will share more of his images in due course, but for today enjoy this stunning close-up of one of the most charismatic safari species, the Buffalo!

Lion and Hyenas compete.

The hyenas tried to get a part of the meal all day.
They didn't succeed....

Photos taken in the Luambe National Park on the Luangwa River, north of the famous South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.

We stayed at the fantastic Luambe Lodge in the Luambe National Park, run by Luangwa Valley Safaris.
Ideal for spectacular photography!

A Pangolin.
Such a unique and special encounter.

Pangolins are the only mammals wholly-covered in scales and they use those scales to protect themselves from predators in the wild.

Pangolins are threatened by poaching (for their meat and scales, which are used in traditional medicine) and heavy deforestation of their natural habitats, and are unfortunately the most trafficked mammals in the world.

Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 24 - 200 mm zoom lens.

Photo taken in the GMA (game management area), of the Kafue National Park, Zambia.

Hippos in action!

The fights in the photos were not a real fights, but more a bit of playing/ sparring.

But still quite spectacular to watch!

In a real fight hippos can seriously injure each other, which often leads to fatalities.

Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 800 mm and Nikkor 180 - 600 mmlens.

Photos taken in the Luambe National Park on the Luangwa River, north of the famous South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.

We stayed at the fantastic Luambe Camp in the Luambe National Park, run by Luangwa Valley Safaris

There they built a hide on the river bank close to a very big pod of around 400 hippos.

Ideal for spectacular photography!
