Derek along with friend Jamie Wilson opened the first Safari Operation in the Niassa Reserve. He has become one of my great friends and has taught me much about Niassa. To me he is one of the most important voices for the preservation of the Reserve. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Reserve I hope you also have the pleasure of meeting and visiting with Derek. AP

Drawn to the Flame


As it goes with me, I first feel that invisible magnetic pull as my compass starts spinning wildly and perks my senses as to a change of venue being eminent. I debate where on earth my next bed will be rolled out, as this “magnetic effect” descends on my consciousness and a familiar little “black and blue” angel arrives on my shoulder and begins violently whispering in my ear as with an Electric Megaphone… threatening!
