“Taking pictures is savouring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.”
― Marc Riboud


From the burning sunsets and kaleidoscope of cultures, to the spotted, striped and toothy inhabitants of the bush, deserts and oceans of this vast continent – there is no experience to rival Africa.

Every year, our Rhino Africa consultants travel to the edges of the continent and return with dusty cameras and unforgettable memories. They also bring back the kind of photographs that encapsulate the African experience in a single shot.

These are Rhino Africa’s Top 20 Photographs of 2012, taken exclusively by our intrepid team. We’re not professional photographers by any means, but we like to think that these images do truly epitomise the essence of Africa and show quite obviously why it is that we dig this continent so much.

Take a look. Enjoy.
