Facebook Pic of the Week: 7 to 13 September 2015

Trawling through our 2015 archives on Facebook...

Our theme for this particular week was #whyiloveKenya and we asked our contributing photographers to showcase their best images from the wonderful land of Kenya. There were great photos of elephants in front of Kilimanjaro, and cheetahs in full chase, but this photo of a pride of lions lazily lounging on a log had to be featured.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 21 to 27 April 2014

This was a tough one! Sooo many amazing images were shared during this week (during which there was no specific theme), that making a pick of just one was pretty tough. We settled on a duo this week...two images of predators showing amazing natural behaviour, one a tender family moment and the other a dramatic struggle for life.

Our first choice is this stellar image by Ben Cranke. It was captured in the infamous Duba Plains in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, where lions and buffalo are engaged in a daily tango of life and death. You can see more of Ben's work on his website: www.bencranke.com

The second choice for the week goes to Brendon Cremer. It shows a lovingly tender moment between a female leopard and her cub in the Khwai area of Botswana. Brendon's website can be seen here: www.brendoncremer.com

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:
