Exploring Africa through a wildlife safari is an eye-opening experience. Walking through the long grass of the Savannah or trekking through the wilderness, you are sure to be enthralled by the amazing natural displays. Magnificent creatures make themselves known to you and give an insight into their complex rhythms which can only be experience by getting nice and close. The African safari is, however, not complete without capturing the memories you’ve made. Therefore, we are proud to showcase some of the work done by our Africa’s Photographer of the Year contestants below.
