Welcome to Wilkinson’s World!

Hello there, nature enthusiasts and kindred spirits,

We are Rob and Jane Wilkinson, a duo that called Windhoek, Namibia, home for six adventurous years until our retirement in 2012. Those years allowed us to embrace our passions: journeying through the untamed corners of Namibia and Botswana and immersing ourselves in the art of photographing birds and wildlife. Our trusty 4X4, fully equipped for camping, became our vessel to explore the great outdoors, an endeavour that continues even now.

From the captivating landscapes of Botswana to the rhythmic pulse of Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi, our journeys have expanded from our South African base. The allure of these lands still beckons us, and we’re thrilled to open a window into our experiences through this very website, and our YouTube channel.

Wilkinson’s World dot com is more than a platform; it’s a canvas that echoes our diverse interests. The strokes of our leisure pursuits stretch wide: writing, photography, cycling, hiking, travel, meditation, and the intricate strategy of Bridge. As you explore our corner of the internet, we hope these facets of our lives resonate with you, sparking connection and inspiration.

Now, we understand the allure of a photograph that captures your imagination, and the desire to share it with others. If a photograph from our collection speaks to you, we kindly ask you to connect with us. By clicking the Contact Us link thoughtfully provided, let’s embark on a conversation about how our photographs can enrich your projects, publications, or creative endeavours.

While we’ve taken steps to shield our work, we recognize the inventive spirit of those determined to capture screenshots. Yet, our belief lies in nurturing a shared respect for the dedication embedded in these photographs. Through open dialogue, we can find a harmonious way to collaborate—one that honours your creative vision and preserves the essence of our work.
