A Photo Safari with Shaun Stanley

We’re about to launch our new Spanish and Portuguese divisions. Bienvenidos! In preparation, we’ve recruited some exotic new consultants, who, together with Shaun Stanley, one of our senior travel consultants, headed out for a few days in the bush…

Our consultants will pretend otherwise, out of humility, but it’s obvious they have one of the best jobs in the world, travelling to luxury safari lodges and reserves to suss out the scene on the wilderness front. So to better serve our dear clients (aka fellow passionate travellers)…

We call these trips “Educationals”, just so no one else in the office gets too jealous.

On this Educational, held in mid October, the team headed to the private game reserves adjacent to the Kruger National Park and stayed at four lodges – Thornybush Waterside, Kings Camp, Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge and Londolozi Varty Camp.

On exciting Big 5 game drives at the lodges, Shaun, who’s known to be quite the photographer, snapped these spectacular shots. We especially love the ones of the big (and small) cats…
