I specialise in reporting and storytelling at the intersection of conservation, wilderness, and communities living alongside wildlife. My work spans editorial features, news reporting, and long-form narrative pieces for regional and international publications, with a particular focus on conservation, adventure travel, and ethical safari experiences.
Alongside written journalism, I provide multi-media coverage of significant conservation events and field operations, documenting everything from wildlife translocations and veterinary interventions to species recovery efforts and community conservation initiatives.
I am also available for documentary scriptwriting and selected editorial commissions, including books, magazines, impact reports, and other substantial publishing projects.

Walk Luangwa:
Writing + Photography of a Cover Feature for
In 2020, together with two teammates, I walked more than 350 kilometres along Zambia's remote Luangwa River as part of a seventeen-day expedition through three national parks and five game management areas. Undertaken during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the expedition aimed to raise awareness of the profound impacts that the collapse of tourism was having on communities and conservation efforts across the region.
As we travelled on foot through one of Africa's last great wildernesses, local conservationists joined us along different sections of the route, sharing their experiences of living and working on the frontlines of conservation. The resulting feature explored the interconnected challenges of conservation, tourism, and rural livelihoods during an unprecedented moment in history.
