Rhino Africa’s Top 20 Photos of 2011

“No place is boring, if you’ve had a good night’s sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.”  ~Robert Adams

Photography has the ability to totally transform and enrich your experience of life, especially on your travels. Suddenly you see differently. You see the little things, the obscure, the artistic. You see it all and get to take the sights and memories back home so family and friends can experience it too. We travel a lot here at Rhino Africa, scouting and sussing out the best destinations and lodges in Africa to send our clients – you travellers and adventurers – to.

These are the top 20 photographs taken mostly by our consultants last year. We think they epitomise the essence of Africa and show quite obviously why it is that we dig this continent so much. Take a look. Enjoy.
