It is always said that a Cape Buffalo stares at you like they owe you money, I would agree with this

WATCHING VULTURES

Lions and vultures are age-old foes, and this pride was particularly interested in watching the White-faced

elephants spend 12-18

hours eating, and it's

just so enjoyable

IDENTITY

IMG_0868-denoise-clear.jpg

Zebra's unique markings are like a fingerprint, each individual's stripe patterns             are unique, meaning that each sighting of                              these beautiful animals truly unique

CURLS AND STRIPES

Riverbeds are a vulnerable place to be, but also provide lush vegetation on their banks. Kudu particularly like the thick riverine vegetation, and this young bull crossed from one bank to another in order to join the rest of the herd

MINDS IN SYNC

IMG_1173.jpg

Often the communication between members of a lion pride is not audible or visible, and often it's as though they can read each other's minds as they spring into active

THE CHIEF

DSCN2881.jpg

When a big Bull Elephant lumbers towards  you, you have no option than to feel incredibly small and insignificant. These animals are powerful, and yet so vulnerable, as their tusks are poached for their ivory.

HIGH ALERT

IMG_0999.jpg

Impala are a firm favourite prey of many predators, and therefore remain on high alert at all times. They snort and scatter at the first sign of danger. This prolific species is often overlooked, and yet is so beautiful and photogenic

Every Rhino calf born assists in bringing hope to a species that is so critically endangered. Thanks to the incredible efforts of Anti-poaching teams and reserves all over the continent, there is hope that future generations will be able to view these precious animals for years to come

VANTAGE POINT

IMG_1217.jpg

A Giraffe is a gentle giant, but can produce a kick strong enough to kill a lion with ease. These beautiful animals, due to their immense height, are also good indicators of the position of predators, as they can see them approaching from long distances away

CRISS-CROSS

Signed-2844.jpg

Whilst giraffes are mostly gentle giants, fighting, or "necking" occurs within the journey to establish the social hierarchy , and bouts can be pretty brutal, sometimes resulting in serious injury.

FAMILY FIRST

Tree Agama lizards are long living, with individuals living as long as 25-28 years. They can often be seen on trees and rocky outcrops, hunting for insects. The male displays to females by showing off his bright blue head and colourful body, while knodding his head. This female was observing this.

Elephant social structure revolves around a matriarch, who leads and guides the herd to ancient feeding grounds and water points, particularly in the harsh African dry season

These incredible animals have highly complex social structures, and have been on the IUCN Endangered List for years. Thankfully, thanks to dedicated breeding programs and conservation efforts, populations are slowly increasing and hopefully, one day, will fully recover

STRIPES ON STRIPES

_MG_1243.jpg

Zebra's stripes are both beautiful and functional. Every animal's stripes are unique, just like our fingerprints. Their exact function is unknown, but it is suspected that it breaks the silhouette of the individual animals in the eyes of predators, so as to dazzle them.

SIBLINGS

_MG_0293.jpg

Family Bonds in an African Elephant Herd are always strong. A lot of research has been done into the advanced emotional intelligence of these beautiful animals. Unfortunately, problem herds have been identified in certain areas due to the matriarchs being poached for their tusks, thus resulting in reckless undisciplined younger elephants running riot. Projects of then re-introducing older elephants into younger herds have yielded good results in this area, but it does stress yet another impact of the poaching of this highly intelligent animal

WIDE-EYED STARE

Pearl-spotted Owlets are ferocious predators for their size. Their very large attitude compared to this small size makes them one of my favourite birds. this print is available as a set of 3 as well, please enquire for the remainder of the set.

DISAPPEARING

These rare and ancient creatures have long been slaughtered by poachers, after their horns, which are used in Black Market Chinese Medicine. This fragile species has been declared regionally extinct in many African countries

GRACEFUL GIANT

_MG_0209.jpg

African Elephants are the landscapers of the bush, as they carve paths through the landscape, pushing over trees  as they go. they do form an essential service by fertilisimg ingested seeds in their dung and depositing them in their new destination. It is a true pity that these beautiful creatures are so heavily poached for their tusks

BASKING

_MG_0402.jpg

On hot summer's days, Vultures can often be found on the sandy banks of rivers, cleaning themselves in the water. Sunbathing serves two purposes, the first and most obvious being to dry themselves off from their bath in the river, but secondly to get rid of parasites who will leave the feathers as they cannot tolerate the heat of the midday sun. It does make for a great photo.

STAND OUT

Butterflies sometimes are often overlooked on the search for bigger things on safari. But once one takes the time to really take interest in these fascinating insects, they do seem to stand out against the bush background. This Grass Jewel Blue takes a drink from a mud crack in a dry waterhole.
