“Thanks for the email and for writing that fine blog post [Blog 24]. The more of us storytellers focus on facts and science as our North Stars, the better chance we have of kicking trophy hunting off the map.”
— Simon E., CEO, Africa Geographic, CapeTown, South Africa
“Blog 23 “R-E-S-P-E-C-T in the Okavango: Why Africa’s Most Social Hunters Matter” is a very well written conservation piece about African wild dogs. Raising awareness is so important.”
— Kate N., General Manager, Kwando Safaris, Maun, Botswana
“Alexandra’s blogs are a vivid tribute to the untamed soul of Botswana. With each post, she captures not just the sweeping landscapes and elusive wildlife, but the heartbeat of the wilderness itself. 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.”
— Kate N., General Manager, Kwando Safaris, Maun, Botswana
“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.”
— Kate N., General Manager, Kwando Safaris, Maun, Botswana
Readers and Colleagues
“I have spent some time going through the fascinating blogs created by Alexandra George. She so successfully conveys her intense passion for wildlife conservation through photographs and excellent narration. Endangered African wildlife badly needs more voices like hers.”
— Steve S., Hertfordshire, UK
“Blog 22 on Birds of Southern Africa: Wings Above, Reflections Below is truly engaging. The text conjures a genuine sense of actually being there. Outstanding photography.”
— Mike O., London, UK
“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.”
— Mike O., London, UK
“The beauty of the photography reflects a genuine admiration of African landscapes and fauna, revealing a deep understanding of its fragility and need of protection as well.”
— Dr. Wolfgang K., Vienna, Austria
“Great to read your Blog, Big Cats of Pom Pom. Amazing photos and presentation. Well done!”
— Diana B., Sydney, Australia
“Alexandra’s writing is wonderfully evocative. I loved the Blog, Tenting with Lions in the Okavango. She depicts the Okavango’s wildlife with a sense of intimacy and awe that makes you feel you’re there. Her photographs add a vivid layer, bringing each moment to life in stunning detail.”
— Beth M., New York, USA
“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.”
— Sandra D., Massachusetts, USA
