Dust Till Dawn: My First Exhibition
If you want to see my work, I will host my very first exhibition, Dust Till Dawn, in Heidelberg, Germany. We chose photographs from my past trips to Africa that…

It has been a fruitful year. The German nature and nature-photography magazine NATURBLICK published an interview with me in its latest edition, and one of my photographs even made the…
Zimbabwe, Nov. 2017
So after the rain in October (you can read about that here), Mana Pools looked quite different as you can see in most of the pictures. More mud, more green, less animals although I had some nice sightings still. And as always I also go for the little things.
In the ablution for instance I found this little green snake. I was doing my laundry and the snake passed me by over the wall in front of me. Since my car was quite close, I ran back to get my camera.

Right before I left for Africa, I was interviewed by the German magazine PHOTOGRAPHIE. The resulting article spans four double-page spreads and includes many of my photographs. I feel very…
Zimbabwe, Oct. 2017
October started pretty different, since Sofie left and after more than a month traveling together, it does get to you. So I had to get used to being by myself again and getting back in my own rhythm. And in the beginning I did feel a bit lonely…
Nothing the bush can’t solve though! đ And luckily I’ve got quite some friends over there… Like Stretch, the Mana legend. When people ask him how I got his name, he answers: ‘I was born on a loooong weekend!’. First time I heard that I almost cried from laughing…

Zimbabwe Sept 2017
Our trip started in Namibia and Botswana (as you can read here), but this story begins in Mana Pools in Zimbabwe. Or actually on the way to Mana to be correct. Â After Nxai Pan, we drove the terrible road towards Francistown and the boarder. It’s never been the best road, but after the major rainfall last season, it was truly filled with holes all over. Sometimes it was simply not possible to drive at a normal speed. The boarder however went quite smooth this time and fuel wasn’t an issue for once. Never obvious when you’re allowed what…

Namibia / Botswana, Sept 2017
It took quite a while before this blog appeared, but it’s like that with all good things right?
So we started off the end of August in Windhoek very curious about whether the car would be ready or not. Since ‘this is Africa’, of course it wasn’t. We had a little accident on our last trip, which you can read (and see) right here. At the end of that last trip we also ordered a little cupboard for the car, since I struggled with the very clunky box that contains most of the ‘kitchen stuff’. That box had a heavy wooden lid on top and everything was on top of each other, so getting stuff out there was always a mission. Anyway, turned out that getting stuff ready in time in Africa is even a bigger mission!
