East, Central & Southern Africa

The annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and other game around the Serengeti / Masai Mara ecosystem is one of the world's greatest wildlife wonders and witnessing this spectacle is one of the "must see" events of the natural world. Not surprisingly it provides constant subject matter and inspiration for visiting photographers. Perhaps more wildlife photos are taken in East Africa than anywhere else? This naturally makes taking innovative and fresh images ever-more challenging.

This selection of images is primarily from the Serengeti and Masaai Mara in East Africa, but also includes photos from Botswana, Gabon and Zambia.
