GooglePlus Feature: Kirsten Frost

If you haven't noticed, we've fallen behind on our weekly features - haha.

Changes in the Google+ algorithm makes it harder and harder to trace posts on our profile down to specific dates, so we decided to change the Google+ blogs to a random feature.

That way - nobody can feel that somebody else was featured in a week where they didn't post, and fairness etc etc.

The random feature will be totally random, and random in it's randomness. It will be purely based on photos shared with the #AFRICANature hashtag that caught our eyes.

This week's random feature is a photo by +Kirsten Frost - be sure to check out more of his photos on Google+

We hope you enjoyed this selection. Please do share our webpage with those who are also interested in the natural heritage of Africa!

Facebook Pic of the Week: 15 to 21 June 2015

Our theme on Facebook for the week of 15 to 21 June 2015 was all about elephants, and we used the hashtag #Trunkated - we like to be quirky and punny like that.

We received some wonderful images, like we do every week, which makes selecting one to feature a tough task.

This lovely photo of an elephant enjoying a bath in the Chobe river that separates Botswana from Namibia was taken by Corlette Wessels. You can see more of her photography on her WEBSITE.

GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 14 to 20 April 2014

There were a couple of great photos shared via the +AFRICANature page on G+ during this particular week. 

This photo of lion cubs on a kill by +Penny Robartes stood out to us. It was taken on the banks of the Chobe river in Botswana, and she was able to get close with the help of a photographic boat. You can see more of her work on her G+ profile as well as on her Facebook page:

Thanks to everyone who is starting to contribute to the AFRICANature theme on G+...we are looking forward to building the same engagement and community spirit as we have over on our Facebook page. 

Remember to tag your quality African wildlife and landscape photos on G+ with the hashtag #AFRICANature and also tag the +AFRICANature page so we can consider your work for resharing and a possible feature here on the blog.
