ON THE COVER
The winner of our front cover competition, revealed For this issue of Audley Traveler, we’ve turned to you for your photos, stories and tips. Of course, the takeover issue wouldn’t be complete without a cover shot from one of our travelers. We received hundreds of fantastic entries that we’ve narrowed down to our three favorites. Here’s what our photographers had to say about their shortlisted images…
Runner up Nick Kinna “I took this photo in the Mitai Maori village just outside Rotorua, on New Zealand’s North Island. We’d all settled down by the river in quiet expectation when the Maori warriors appeared from upstream in a waka (traditional canoe) – it was a magical start to a cultural and entertaining evening in which we learnt about the history and legends of the Maori.”
Runner up David Reynolds “Last June, we visited Khwai Tented Camp in Botswana. Our guide, Sinka, was determined to find a leopard that we had briefly seen the previous evening – and we were lucky to see her again in daylight. This is my favorite photo of the mother and cub, as they’re looking directly into the lens; the picture is hung on my wall and their eyes follow me around the room.”
Winner Christopher Donovan “As visitors arrived at North Seymour in the Galapagos Islands, this blue-footed booby waited to greet them. Although small, the island is an astounding wildlife location, with boobies, frigate birds (with their enormous red pouches) and brightly-colored land iguanas. We even witnessed a few steps in the famously awkward booby courtship dance.”
