Three days, one impala, and a mother leopard with her cub. 🐆❤️ From feeding to watching the sunset together, the wild gave us a glimpse of life in its rawest, most beautiful form. 🌅

Leopards often yawn when waking up, settling down or transitioning between resting and activity. A yawn can accompany a relaxed state, particularly when the body is loose and the eyes are half-closed.

As the sun sets over the Makgadikgadi, the meerkats make the most of the last light, foraging for food before heading back to their burrows for the night. A beautiful glimpse into the simple rhythms of life in the wild at Jack’s Camp. 🌅🐾✨#youngexplorer’sclubafricanchapter

· PROOF OF CONCEPT · You wouldn't believe where I had the pleasure of bumping into this stunningly liveried lil number this afternoon. Excited for what its capture (and release) might be the start of. There really is no place like home, but the right to celebrate it demands taking care of it too...

The faster you move, the less you actually see.

In a world of constant noise, the rarest skill isn't how to process more information; it’s how to truly observe what's in front of you.

This November, join myself and @findingfrancois in the Okavango Delta for a six-day wilderness expedition and photographic storytelling masterclass.

We aren't just teaching technical camera work; we are teaching you how to read a living ecosystem. We’ve combined the ancient discipline of wildlife tracking with the intentional practice of visual storytelling to help you reconnect with a quality of attention that you can carry back into your business, your creative work, and your daily life.

This is for those who move fast, think critically, and know that there is a deeper layer to be seen.

Six days. A private concession. A cohort of eight.
31 October – 6 November 2026.

Spaces are limited. Come as you are, leave seeing differently.

I am now happy to share that end of October we have an opportunity, for people to come out to Botswana and the Okevango delta.

This trip is 2 fold, experience before I head out to the Congo river source and this will allow people to experience first hand what goes into an expedition of this scale a year long odyssey and bringing real exploration back.

The 2nd goal of this is the ideas is to stress test our systems on the ground. And replicate the expedition, as best as we can by involving similiar conditions and risks.

Why we teach in the wild - brief thoughts on curiosity, and teachability. Watch until the end for a taste of keeping watch around a fire.
