MICHAEL DAVY
Growing up in the wild places of Africa was an incredible privilege—one that shaped my deep connection to nature and my unwavering passion for photography. From an early age, I was captivated by the raw beauty of the wilderness, the untamed spirit of wildlife, and the ever-changing light that transforms a moment into something truly extraordinary.
Photography is more than just a way to capture these moments—it is my way of telling stories, of sharing the magic of the natural world, and, most importantly, of creating awareness. Every image I take is a tribute to the wild, a reminder of what we stand to lose, and a call to protect and preserve the fragile ecosystems that sustain the creatures we so often take for granted.
Through my lens, I strive to inspire a deeper appreciation for wildlife and the landscapes they call home. I believe that powerful imagery has the ability to ignite change, to foster a sense of responsibility, and to drive conservation efforts forward. My hope is that my work not only showcases the beauty of the natural world but also compels others to protect it.
CAREER
With over a decade of experience as a wildlife safari guide in South Luangwa National Park, I have dedicated my life to exploring and documenting the natural world. As co-founder and shareholder in Sungani, a luxury safari operator in the park, I combine my deep knowledge of the African wilderness with a passion for wildlife photography and travel. My adventures have taken me across Africa and beyond, from the vast landscapes of Yellowstone National Park to the untamed beauty of Zimbabwe, Europe, and more. However, my heart remains in the wild, where I thrive as a guide and photographer, capturing the raw beauty of nature through my lens. As an avid naturalist, I am committed to sharing the magic of the natural world with others, ensuring that every photo and safari is an unforgettable experience.
