Big Cat Travel Club - If you have visited our web site before you will have seen that we act as hosts for journeys to a variety of destinations spanning the globe - from Africa to Antarctica. Further to this we are very excited about a new project called Big Cat Travel Club, named after our abiding passion for watching and photographing big cats around the world. But this is prompted by much more than our interest in big cats. We love to travel and want to share with you what this means to us. Travel isn’t just about visiting exotic locations. For us it means researching each location we visit, knowing what is important to us as travelers, what kit or gear we are going to need to get the most out of the experience – not just the photography. We want to share that knowledge with you before you make your journey – or better travel with us.

Benefits of the BASIC Membership:

Reports - By joining the Big Cat Travel Club you will have access to basic reports and updates on the latest destinations we have visited, plus fact files on trips from the past. We have traveled to all 7 continents in the course of our work as wildlife photographers and TV presenters, and specialize in hosting small groups with an emphasis on wildlife and culture. We pride ourselves on being able to offer exciting travel regardless of whether you are interested or not.

A break-down of the various travel experiences that we are involved in - As wildlife photographers seeking to travel to the best wildlife locations and travel spots on the planet, we are always looking for something different - both in terms of our photography and in maximizing the sheer pleasure of the whole experience. How many times have you come back from a holiday wishing that you had known more about your destination before leaving, particularly with regard to planning your time and making sure that you packed everything you needed to make the most of your trip? We will be looking very carefully at which is the best season – month to month – for watching wildlife at each destination; getting it wrong can mean the difference between fulfilling you dreams as both a photographer and a traveler. And we can tell you what the trade off will be for traveling out of season – that discounted price might not be such great value after all.

Equipment review. We will list our favourite equipment that we are using and how it compares to rival brands – in fact all of the equipment we find most useful on safari around the world. With over 30 years in the field we have a garage packed with gear, as a result of having tried just about every kind of new-fangled device in trying to get the best from our photography – so there is plenty of room for discussion. And we will offer advice on some of the photographic issues that we personally needed to solve to get the best out of the photographic opportunities at each destination.

Chat Forum. You will have access to our User Forum (although this is not exclusive to Travel Club members only - anyone can join the user forum regardless of being a member of the Travel Club). The user forum will enable you to meet other travelers and share your experiences, and though we are often in the field traveling and photographing when we are at home we will personally contribute the forum.

Many people contact us for information on how we got started, and what opportunities there are today for those wanting to make a career out of their wildlife photography, interest in nature or as a TV camera person or Presenter. We can offer advice and hopefully point you in the right direction.

We are very excited about the Big Cat Travel Club and see it as an evolving process which we want you to be part of.
