Good day friends!
Yes, we know we are lagging a bit with our January weekly features - so bear with us! :)

The images keep rolling in - it's an honour for us to represent some of the finest talent on the internet when it comes to showcasing photography of Africa's natural heritage.

+Carole Deschuymere keeps impressing us with the standard of her imagery. This photo of African Painted Dogs playing around was photographed in the amazing Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 3 to 9 November 2014

During this week on our Facebook Page, it was an open theme again - #AnythingGoes

The AFRICANature brand is about high quality imagery. You don't have to be a professional photographer to produce high quality imagery, but you need to know your equipment, know your subject and know how to process your photos properly.


We are very happy with the standard of images being shared with the theme - but that also makes our choice as curators even harder.

This photo of a pair of endangered Painted Dogs playing in last light in Mana Pools, Zimbabwe, stole the show. It was taken by Carole Deschuymere - and you can check out her website here: www.carole-wildlife.com

Facebook Pic of the Week: 16 to 22 June 2014

Hello everyone! Our pick from the Facebook Page for this particular week is a rarity of note. It was an open theme - "anything goes" literally as long as it's natural and African.

This photo shows the rare Pangolin - an ant-eater with a quirky look and an ability to elude most safari fanatics for years due to its shy and nocturnal nature. Unfortunately, it's also the target of large-scale poaching as their scales are falsely believed to contain medicinal value (much like the case is with rhino horn). Just recently a shipment of more than 1 ton was confiscated, equaling a shocking amount of lost pangolins in the wild.

This week's photographer is Andy Lowe, based in Zimbabwe. You can see more of his lovely work on his website: www.andylowephotography.com
