June 18th to 23th 2021

This trip was organised by Wildlife Worldwide. We were based at the Aigas Field Centre. The trip had a strong bias towards the photography of wildlife.

When we were not at the centre we visited several hotspots of wildlife near the centre.

This page shows wildlife photographs of the trip. General photos may be found using the following link.
