Hello there...
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.

This image from +Jim Robertson surely tells a great story! It was taken in the Ngorongoro Crater conservation area, Tanzania.

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 stunning action photo of a Cheetah chasing down a young Gazelle was shared by +Dana Allen. Make sure you check out his website for some amazing photography: http://www.photosafari-africa.net/

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.
