Facebook Pic of the Week: 22 to 28 June 2015

We ran an open theme again for this particular week - so indeed #AnythingGoes was the hashtag.


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

Felix Reinders captured this perspective of a mountain stream in the Drakensberg mountain range of South Africa. See more of his work on his WEBSITE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 27 April to 3 May 2015

The week of 27 April to 3 May saw us host an #AnythingGoes week on our Facebook Page. This "open theme" always evokes such a wide range of quality submissions, that choosing one to feature is a daunting task.

This wonderfully moody monochrome photo of giraffes on the open plains of the Central Kalahari was shared by Hendri Venter - make sure you check out his WEBSITE too!

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: 18 to 24 August 2014

Our Facebook Page came alive during this week with epic skies, "cloudporn" and the vastness of Africa. Our theme was #BigSkyCountry and we asked our community to be creative and share their photos that showed Africa's vast expansive skies.

There are few places as instantly recognisable and iconic as Table Mountain in Cape Town. This photo is one of the best we've seen of the bunch - and it was taken by arguably South Africa's top landscape photographer: Hougaard Malan. You can see more of his amazing work on his website (www.hougaardmalan.com) and join one of his landscape photography workshops in Africa and around the world: www.capturearth.com

Hello everyone!

Our featured photo from our +AFRICANature page on Google+ is by a travel blogger called +Susan Portnoy. You can see more of her work on her blog: http://theinsatiabletraveler.com

There are few things more iconically African than a huge Baobab tree, and to capture it in a brewing storm like this is special.
