My passion for photography is only superseded by my love for nature and wildlife. When I drove from the crowded streets of Abu Dhabi to Sir Bani Yas Island I was a suddenly transferred into in my favorite environment; one of preservation and conservation.

The only annoying thing was the room entrance corridor light , due to a technical problem was switched on for the whole night, been offered a different room but the kids had been slept and was too late!!! More

I was really excited about coming up here as i had read a lot about the island and the prospect of seeing some pretty incredible things. Boy did it not disappoint, a truly unforgettable stay.
