Welcome to the online galleries of Steve Shames. I hope you enjoy this website! I am currently posting pictures from our recent trip to New Zealand.

I live in the Sacramento metro area in California with my wife and travel partner, Lauri. Below are the trips we have planned for 2025 and beyond, so far.

*** February 2025 -- Trip to The Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. This is a guided tour with Gate One Travel

*** May 2025 -- Another trip to Africa. This time to South Africa and Namibia. We booked this with our great travel agent Dancing Zebra Safari Company.

*** September 2025 -- A week in Alaska -- stay by Denali and then Wrangell St. Elias National parks. And hope there might be some clear nights to see the northern lights.

*** November 2025 -- Africa again. Back to the Serengeti in Tanzania, then to Rwanda for gorilla trekking.

*** February 2026 -- We go to India, mostly for wildlife safaris, with a focus on the tigers!
