This isn’t a blog about bucket lists or bold arrivals. It’s about all the things encountered— a still moment before sunrise, a trail worn down by time, a fleeting chance encounter in the wild, a warming smile. Footstep Chronicles is a journal of travel and photography, dedicated to the slow unfolding of place, memory, and meaning.

Each post begins with a photograph — or a series of them — taken along the way. Much of this journey is shaped by time spent in nature. We’ve watched wild elephants shift silently through grasslands at dusk. Waited for hours as a heron hunted in the reeds. Followed the prints of wild dogs until they disappeared into the low brush of the veldt. Embraced the warm rain of a sudden summer storm. These encounters aren’t always dramatic — but they’re grounding. They remind us that the world is alive in every direction, always speaking, if we’re quiet enough to listen.

Footstep Chronicles is a devotion to the subtle and the extraordinary — the flicker of animal eyes in the dark, the shifting patterns of light on leaves, the smallness of ourselves in the presence of the wild.

To walk with open eyes is to embrace the world as it is — unpredictable, breathtaking, imperfect, and endlessly worth knowing.

Thanks for walking with us.
