The "King of the jungle" is a misnomer in more ways than one. But we're asking, "Who is really the King?" And, we want your opinion!

We also chat about the elephant's bizarre hyrax relative. Kaleel sticks up for back-button focus, Alan doesn't and why are white rhinos called white? Prepare for a twist!

Alan's podcast tangents include getting in a lift with the Terminator and Kaleel's X-rated sound processors...

We’re officially adults! Our 18th African Photography Safaris podcast. Back after a bit of a hiatus, we’re chatting about a study which looks at balancing tourist camp density and lion conservation and a question (and answer) on Kaleel’s back lit lion photograph we featured in episode 17. A question on self-driving safaris and cheetahs on vehicles is raising its ugly head again.

All while enthusing about 18th podcast celebratory beers!

If you’ve enjoyed our podcast and feel inspired by the stories, encounters, and sounds of the wild we’ve shared, why not take the next step and live it yourself? Our photography safaris are designed for those who crave more than a holiday! They’re for those who want to feel Africa.

Join us on a small-group adventure where conservation, creativity, and culture meet. You’ll be led by professional wildlife photographers and qualified guides who know these habitats, not just where to go, but when and how to position for the best photographic opportunities. From dawn light over the Maasai Mara to the call of lions at dusk, every moment is about connection to nature, to people, and to your own creative spirit.

Our ethos is simple. Ethical safaris, meaningful experiences, and incredible photographic opportunities that support conservation and local communities.
