The Boss - Never far from his pride and most active during the cool mornings and evenings, this large male casually searches for a cool shady spot to rest during the midday heat. The Lion population of Etosha National Park is around 350 individuals. Etosha Pan, Etosha National Park, Northern Namibia.

Last Water - As the Summer wet season approaches, a Giraffe drinks from one of the last remaining water holes at the Edge of the Etosha Pan. Considered the best times for wildlife viewing, large groups of game and predators congregate together for access to the vital water. Although seemingly untouchable given their size, Giraffe are particularly anxious and constantly on the lookout for the prides of Lions which are never far away.

Sand Rising - Located in the world oldest desert, the sand dunes and mountains of the Namib-Naukluft National Park make up the 4th largest game park in the world covering an area of almost 50,000km2. A unique landscape with unique ecology and average annual rainfall of only 100mm per annum. Sand dunes rise to heights of greater than 300m, creating a imposing barrier to the cold southern atlantic winds which bring vital moisture to the landscape. Namib-Nauklft National Park, Namibia.
