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.

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.
