This is was the first big trip for me in the bush. A 3 week rountrip on a mission to find wild lions for my lion photoproject. The first stop was Nxai Pan national park that is part of the Makgadigadi pans in Botswana.

The lions photoproject was born after I realized that after nearly 10 years of travelling to Botswana I had seen very few lions. I had just stayed at places where they dont frequent, and I was slightly puzzled by why I had seen so few.

That was how I gave this trips its mission. I wanted to find and document through my photography the wild lions of Botswana for 6 months. I went all in with my savings at the time, bought a secondhand car imported from Japan, spent what I had left upgrading my camera kit so I could have a slightly longer lens and off I went.

One of the defining factors of an adventure is uncertainty. That is also how I see photography. As an adventure. When you have a vision of what you want to create or make it doesnt always go according to plan. Sometimes you get more than you thought, sometimes less.

That is in the end the exciting thing about it.

This series is more a personal journey than specifically chasing the perfect lion portrait. It is about appreciating what we have left in the wild, and give it a face. Literally. The 6 months I spent in Botswana is the most wonderful thing I ever did.

And if you read this, thinking about doing your own adventure. Or something you think is a bit crazy, but you still want to do it. I say go.

You will never regret pursuing a passion.
