#1 — Sunrise over the Conservancy (Kenya, 2014)

 

I’d like to say it's a typical morning in the Mara North Conservancy. To be honest, sometimes it rains. But often the broad and sweeping sky just lifts the mood, and you realize anything can be done today.

— Angus

A lone Desert Elephant Bull wanders in the dry Huab River bed – dwarfed by the face of Rocks and sand. Tone in Tone. Calmly making his way through this beautiful landscape always in search of water and food.

— Jana

#2 — Dwarfed Giant (Namibia, 2019)

#3 — Into the Skies (Zambia, 2017)

In Liuwa Plain National Park, even the most hardened critics will enjoy the spectacle. The floodplain is freckled with flat pans and channels, brimming with lilies, fish, insects, amphibians and all sorts of other delicious goodies, as the flood waters recede and emerald turns to gold on the surface. These pans become awash with avian life. Cranes, Pelicans, Storks, Cormorants and African spoonbills - to name just a few - ornate and endangered; can been seen in flocks of up to a hundred here, feeding in the grass. Their expansive wings get them airborne with a little fuss and they make startling silhouettes across the dusk skyline, heading in search of trees to roost.

— Jana

This leopard might not be for everyone’s wall. But she frolicked around in the gorge below then decided to come up and check out our position. Relaxed and confident as befits residents of the Conservancy!

— Angus

#4 — Leopard in Residence (Kenya, 2014)

#5 — Morning Briefing (Kenya, 2014)

Perhaps surprisingly, the Mara North’s most interesting residents can be its youngest. There are a number of heavily populated hyena dens across the plains, and the smaller residents tend to skylark about in the first light of day. This young fellow is perhaps getting a bit of a talking-to from an elder sibling perhaps!

— Angus

There was river here once, later a lake, when the giant sand dunes cut the waters flow to the ocean. The lake dried out too and left these eerie skeletons of the trees that had once thrived on the shores.

— Jana

#6 — In the Desert (Namibia, 2019)

#7 — On the Open Plains (Kenya, 2020)

It was the first year of the pandemic, and we had decided to escape to Africa to try and help raise funds for conservation and the people depending on tourism, which had but come to a halt. One of the great privileges of that time, was having the Maasai Mara all to ourselves, well not quite: we shared it with this breeding herd of elephants and all the other wildlife.

— Jana

The acacia-tree-on-the-Serengeti-at-sunset shot might be a bit clichéd, but it doesn’t get old, particularly when accompanied by a suitable beverage. And anyway this is in the Mara North Conservancy, en route back from a day’s work at the school. So well deserved perhaps!

— Angus

#8 — The Sundowner (Kenya, 2014)

#9 — Sunset on the Plains (Kenya, 2019)

Wide open spaces. Incredible skies!

— Jana

Little green bee-eaters huddling together for protection, warmth, or just to keep the rain off, in the Meru National Park in central Kenya.

— Angus

#10 — Triplets (Kenya, 2014)

#11 — Fireball (Kenya, 2021)

Sunrise never gets old, particularly when they produce such firey colors across the sky like this one.

— Angus

It’s bucketing down in the Meru national park in central Kenya. But this grey-headed kingfisher is totally focused on every ripple.

— Angus

#12 — Fishing in the Rain (Kenya, 2014)

#13 — Sunrise in the Desert (Saudi Arabia, 2013)

Well we know this isn’t quite in Africa, though echoes much of the Sahara. But the Arabian oryx is a great example of re-wilding - where a species which was functionally extinct in the wild can be re-introduced and thrive.

— Angus

First sunset in the Maasai Mara for a bunch of NYC teenagers. A bit different from the streets of New York.

— Angus

#14 — Kids in the Wild (Kenya, 2021)

#15 — Tranquillity (Madagascar, 2014)

A full day’s hike inside the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park in eastern Madagascar. We were looking for black & white ruffed lemurs, and could definitely hear them. But found this instead.

— Angus

On the road toward the Danakil Depression in northern Ethiopia, where the centre of the earth really is closer to us on the surface than anywhere else.

— Angus

#16 — Mars on Earth? (Ethiopia, 2017)

#17 — Hidden Sanctuary (Ethiopia, 2017)

The Bale Mountains National Park in southern Ethiopia is a hidden gem, partly because it takes a rather long time to get there. But as a result these falls near the town of Rira are rarely visited, and pristine.

— Angus

Speaking of nature, the Danakil depression near the Ethiopian border with Eritrea is rarely visited… and staying for very long isn’t advisable. But the intricacy of the salt, sulfur, iron and mineral pools is endless.

— Angus

#18 — Is it Safe? (Ethiopia, 2016)

#19 — Serengeti Morning (Tanzania, 2014)

In the central Serengeti I woke up to a cup of hot coffee and stepped out of my tent to enjoy the view. I hadn´t quite expected the serene beauty and the thousand different colors in the sky or the mist hovering over the ground – it was magic.

— Jana

 

This picture was taken in Mara North 8 months before the kids from the Lycée came to the same place. These two little lionesses of the Serian Pride spent the whole afternoon playing and rolling around and I was lucky to capture this little moment. 

We saw one of these lionesses again with the kids, then almost fully grown and strong.

— Jana

 

#20 — Love (Kenya, 2020)

#21 — Peekaboo (Kenya, 2021)

Hyena cubs really do prove the adage that age isn’t everything - we start off cute but become progressively… not.

— Angus

 

#22 — The Art of Camouflage (Tanzania, 2019)

To this day - even after having seen them many times - I still get hugely excited when I find a chameleon. This one is named after its three beautiful horns. Spending an hour watching it change colors and move delicately along the branches made my day.

— Jana

Madagascan forests are thick, impenetrable, and really are something to spend time in. The telescoping nature of this image really does remind me of another dimension.

— Angus

#23 — The Third Dimension (Madagascar, 2014)

#24 — The Snows of Kilimanjaro (Tanzania, 2014)

Wandering around the crater rim near the peak of Kilimanjaro (around 5,800 meters above sea level) after the first blizzard of the season. And yes, while it was nice to be the first to track a path, perhaps it would have been easier to come the previous day when there wasn’t any.

— Angus

Hiking through the Andasibe forests looking for elusive lemur, we were struck by the peace around this waterfall.

— Angus

#25 — Tranquillity 2 (Madagascar, 2014)

#26 — Silhouette (Kenya, 2020)

A Maasai Giraffe walks beneath the leatherleaf trees at dusk. The hues of pink, orange and blue in the sky made for a spectacular backdrop – almost like a painting. The Maasai Mara is also a land of great skies.

— Jana

 

There’s just something about waterfalls. This one is in the Bale Mountains national park in southern Ethiopia.

— Angus

 

#27 — Peace (Ethiopia, 2016)

#28 — Morning Glory (Kenya, 2021)

Elephants at first light suddenly don’t look grey and cold, but warm and engaged. And you learn quickly why all the local acacias have such a broken shape when you watch fellows like this use one as a scratching post.

— Angus

 

Nalangu the leopard – in her comfort spot – relaxing

— Jana

#29 — Chilling (Kenya, 2020)

#30 — Close Up (Zimbabwe, 2019)

It was an incredible afternoon spent in a hide at the height of the dry season in Mana Pools National Park. We must have seen a few hundred elephants coming to drink and play at the waterhole. This Elephant Mama cooled herself by spraying mud all over her skin. Who said wrinkles are not beautiful?

— Jana

#31 — Really Not Here (Madagascar, 2014)

Found this little fellow at home - progressively sinking into the nest the closer we came!

— Angus

In theory the bush honey is there for everyone to share - the honey bird, the Maasai, occasional New York City teenagers, and the bees. Though this fellow we think objected to the idea of someone else trying some - so was keen to rescue it first.

— Angus

#32 — Rescuing the Food (Kenya, 2021)

#33 — Eyes on the Prize (Saudi Arabia, 2013)

This particular Saharan Eagle Owl was captured outside his normal happy hunting grounds in the northern African deserts, but still looks pretty much at home. And rather focused on the task at hand.

— Angus

There’s just something about bee-eaters - the plumage, the size, the general awareness. Or perhaps, with apologies to the Karate Kid, just their ability to catch insects on the move using chopsticks operated by their jaws. And I love the color of the grasses.

— Angus

#34 — Alert (Kenya, 2021)

#35 — Care for a Swim? (Ethiopia, 2017)

It’s just after dawn, the temperature is already in the mid 40s, we’re 100m below sea level and the air is a toxic fume. Welcome to the Danakil depression in the Afar region in northern Ethiopia!

— Angus

This young lioness, part of the Serian pride near the camp in which Kids in the Wild work, seemed pretty interested in the last light of day. Hungry perhaps - or just keen to reflect our vehicle in her eyes, given the opportunity!

— Angus

#36 — Eyeballing Breakfast (Kenya, 2021)

#37 — The Kool Aid (Ethiopia, 2016)

In the Danakil depression in the Afar region in northern Ethiopia, one really would need to brainwashed in order to drink it. Breathing was hard enough.

— Angus

When giraffe run, they really do seem to be doing so on the spot. Then you realize how fast they’re moving.

— Angus

#38 — Running Men (Tanzania, 2013)

 

There’s just something about waterfalls (II). This one is cascading off the Simian mountain plateau on the Amhara side of the border with Tigrai, in Ethiopia.

Currently a full-on war zone sadly.

— Angus

#39 — Peace (Ethiopia, 2016)

#40 — Do you live here? (Madagascar, 2014)

We spent 12 hours trekking through the Andasibe forest looking for the black & white ruffed lemur, only seeing them from a distance. Then at Palmarium reserve this chap came to investigate my hut and would have hung around for a cup of tea, or at least, a banana.

— Angus

 

The leaf-tailed gecko is so good at camouflage, even in person it’s so hard to tell where he begins and ends!

— Angus

#41 — In Plain Sight (Madagascar, 2014)

#42 — Launch 2 (Kenya, 2021)

Capturing birds in flight is always a challenge - but especially gratifying when it happens.

— Angus

 

In the far north-west of Ethiopia the rift valley cuts north to south, creating the escarpment to the east of Tigrai and providing a natural boundary to the Afar region. Between the escarpment and the Eritrean border are the lowlands - flat, super-heated, 100 meters below sea level. Oh and there’s a volcano crater, Erta Ale. It was a bit grumpy as we approached on foot.

— Angus

#43 — The Fire Within (Ethiopia, 2016)

#44 — The Mara Drizzle (Kenya, 2014)

It’s not all sunsets and glory in the Mara North Conservancy, and long may that be the case. Here a lone zebra navigates without the benefit of an umbrella. And this was much like the rain that greeted our Kids in the Wild in 2021 while we were painting a bunch of cattle gates.

— Angus

A spoonbill taking an early morning stroll across to the moving, grunting pink rocks in the distance. Classic Selous in Tanzania.

— Angus

#45 — Morning Stroll (Tanzania, 2013)

#46 — Curious 2 (Kenya, 2013)

Living in the Nairobi National Park, as these fellows do, one would imagine they would be used to vehicles. Just perhaps not after closing time - the best light of day.

— Angus

Found across East Africa, the peregrine falcon is the fastest animal alive - it can fly at speeds up to 400km/h. Thankfully this one perched still for long enough to capture the reflected sunrise.

— Angus

#47 — Eying Sunrise (Saudi Arabia, 2013)

#48 — Against the Current (Kenya, 2014)

A flood in the Mara River didn’t stop this young chap from blasting up the current in search of something… or perhaps he was resistance training?

— Angus

The male Agama lizard rarely stops for a chat. But in doing so he really can’t help but show off his biceps.

— Angus

#49 — The Poseur (Tanzania, 2013)

#50 — Curious (Ethiopia, 2017)

Living high - at over 10,000 feet - in the Simian Mountains in northern Ethiopia, Gelada monkeys live in large herds and spread out along the plains to graze. Highly social and rarely visited, they love to watch a large uncoordinated relative of a baboon with a camera try to descend the cliffs for a quick snap.

— Angus

Zebras running through burnt-out savannah clearly shows their speed and maybe even why they have the stripes in the first place!

— Angus

#51 — In a Hurry (Tanzania, 2014)

#52 — Careful with the Sand Dunes (Tanzania, 2013)

Along the Selous river in south-east Tanzania, they say the crocs are only dangerous if you can’t see them. So this one is a little bit harmless then?

— Angus

Pelicans are rather large, so this one in the Selous needed a few solid bounces and a fair bit of frantic activity to get airborne. I particularly liked the bemused Maribou stork wondering if he’ll make it this time.

— Angus

#53 — Launch? (Tanzania, 2012)

#54 — Baby of the Bush (Kenya, 2014)

The bushbaby is the smallest African monkey and is lightning quick - which makes sense given it’s survival is dependent on catching insects on the move in complete darkness. Very rare, only ever seen as two orange blobs in the sky, this one stopped long enough to see whether the camera shutter was actually a particularly juicy cicada.

— Angus

Lemurs are a lot like inquisitive friendly dogs who happen to live in trees. This crown lemur hybrid in the Palmarium reserve was particularly enthused by his own reflection in the camera lens.

— Angus

#55 — Looking at Me (Madagascar, 2014)

#56 — Desert Sands (Saudi Arabia, 2013)

Desert sands are constantly on the move, so for this Arabian oryx, everywhere he runs is a new place to be!

— Angus

The trek across an alpine desert from Mt Mawenzi to the base of the final climb up Mt Kilimanjaro looks like a casual stroll. But at around 5,000 meters above sea level, not so much.

— Angus

#57 — The Alpine Way (Tanzania, 2014)

#58 — Welcome to the Mara! (Kenya, 2021)

Everyone wants to see the lion king. But does he want to see you?

— Angus

The Saadani river north of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania is a beach, mangroves, salt flats, savannah and bush, with a crew of particularly clean Nile crocodiles who often hang around on the mudflats at low tide. This one seemed particularly pleased to see me, since I was standing on the prow of a boat around ten feet away - a nice lunging distance!

— Angus

#59 — Welcome Inn (Tanzania, 2012)

#60 — Careful! (Ethiopia, 2016)

These young Gelada monkeys in the Simian Mountains in northern Ethiopia are play-fighting on the edge of a 1,000m drop off. Natural selection?

— Angus
