all lists are a reason to leave immediately. Seems better to me than the Randstad and especially in the urban areas there. Wonderful photos. Regards, Gerrit

Thank you Gerrit. It is indeed much better to stay there than in the sometimes overcrowded Randstad. Although I am of course photographing all day, Africa remains the place where you can relax 🙂

Hi Mike,
Impressive career. Respect!
Have been following you for a while and also your beautiful images. So; after next yr Thailand, year on to Africa. Where?
I will get back to you for that. Good.
Warm regards, also on behalf of Leonie.
Regards, Casper

Hi Caspar,
Thank you for that beautiful feather in my …… 😉
I am indeed glad that I have now started doing what I really like for 100%. I enjoy every moment of it.
Your flavors are almost identical to mine, Thailand is also so super beautiful. And with a kitchen that I absolutely love!
In the last decade I have been much more busy exploring Africa and I will be happy to help you put together a nice trip in due course.
Warm regards, of course also to Leonie, and see you soon!

What breathtaking photos!
In October of this year I hope to be able to experience all facets of South Africa for four weeks.
Thanks for sharing these photos, I'll be swooning for the next few weeks…

Hello Gerard,
how nice to hear that you are also so crazy about South Africa and nice that you take the time to respond! 4 weeks is also the perfect time to fully immerse yourself in that country.
Unfortunately my next trip will take a while, but as you say..... we still have the pictures to dream away with 😉

Impressive photos, Africa doesn't really look like anything to me 🙂

Thank you Marius 🙂
It is indeed a struggle on that continent! and I haven't even mentioned how annoying it is to sit at the barbecue in the evening with a glass of South African Shiraz….. 😉

Africa…Namibia and Mana Pools I have been…fantastic…would like one more time then I will report to you.
You have beautiful photos, enjoy.

Thank you Gonda (and how nice that you have looked at the website so extensively!),
Mana Pools is still on my bucket list, but Namibia and Botswana feel even more like 'home' because of it. I am especially attracted by the change of seasons and of course the emptiness that you can often still experience in these two countries. Our next one is fortunately already planned and will be a long trip of Kgalagadi, Etosha, Damaraland, Walvis Bay and Sossusvlei.
Hopefully still a lot of green in the landscapes….

Hi Mike…
Where can I find this trip?…I don't see it…
and when does this trip go and for how long
and what will it cost
and how many people
and will you also go in a hot air balloon over the sossus valley?
you see i have questions
and I hear from you
Regards Gonda.

G'day Gonda,
The upcoming trip is a trial trip and is not yet offered. So in 2018 I will first make it myself, but there are plans to actually offer it in March 2019.
I set high standards for the implementation and look for a good balance between costs and travel experience. Now that I have traveled through Africa for a total of about 365 days, I know exactly what experience I want to offer the participants. This is of course not a standard package that can be purchased from the local providers and requires some consultation. I'll put you on the information list without notice. so that I can let you know more when he reaches the final stage.

Okay… put me on the list… I'll wait and see.

Nice day

Regards Gonda.
