Water hole, Namibia, Africa – Photo by Jeffrey Jones
My brother and his wife have had a life-long love affair with the wildlife and habitats of southern Africa. So much so that after several trips themselves they began taking small groups on safaris. Here are just a sampling of some of the fantastic photographs he’s taken from various trips. They take us, not to the edge, but to the very heart of the wild.
I hope you will enjoy these stunning images from Namibia and Botswana as much as I have. If you’d like to learn more about his trips and the safaris he arranges, you can visit his website The Jones Party, Adventure Travel.

Even the earliest humans were fascinated by the wildlife of Namibia

You might enjoy another post I wrote a few years ago about “Waterholes in the Wild and the Backyard“.
What a fantastic post Deborah! I love how we were taken to the heart of the wild 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Terrill. I’ve been wanting to get some of his photos up for ages. Glad I finally did.
