Her writing is immersive and reverent—balancing poetic observation with grounded detail. Alexandra manages to distil the essence of this extraordinary land with grace and authenticity. Her storytelling invites readers to feel the dust, hear the birdsong and understand the delicate dance between nature and conservation. A truly evocative voice for Botswana’s wild beauty.”

“The helicopter blog is simply the best first-hand account I have ever read of a flight in the Delta. I’ve shared it with our marketing team, who said they were envious of your beautiful writing! I hope they will share it further, and I’ll be asking Helicopter Horizons to do the same.”

“I have to say it is wonderful to find something to read and learn about in such a clear and vivid manner. Reading about the diverse animal life of Botswana in this context and style is most engaging. I could almost smell the undergrowth and sense the presence of animals described, particularly in Big Cats of Pom Pom.

Her latest blog, Stripes, Horns and Hooves: Pom Pom’s Other Treasures, is another beautifully photographed story along with a vivid description of Pom Poms wildlife. One can learn so much from just viewing this wonderful portrayal of this part of the world and its wildlife. The text is so engaging and is typical of Alex’s heartfelt ambition to enlighten everyone about the world we live in.”

“I just read Blog 20, Stripes, Horns and Hooves: Pom Pom’s Other Treasures. The pictures of the animals are phenomenal. We see them just as you did when you first took the photograph — as if we’re there beside you. The writing reminds me of the grandeur of nature, yet still conveys warmth and closeness to the creatures.”
