Beverly Joubert’s Safari Essentials

‘I am passionate about creating an image that tells a complete story in one instant, one frame.’

Beverly Joubert lives and breathes Africa and its wild open places. When she’s out there, these are the 6 ‘must-haves’ she keeps by her side.

“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths? Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?”
