Animals and their environment

These shots were taken in Serengeti National Park and on the Antarctic Peninsula. 

The Serengeti is perhaps the most spectacular national park in Africa because visitors can see the big 5 game – the lion, the leopard, the rhino, the elephant and the African buffalo but there is no shortage of zebras, giraffes, hyenas and crocodiles. The environment is amazing, it is what you saw in movies made about Africa, how you imagined this magic land.

This spectacle is only available in national parks by now. It is a rough road leading to the Serengeti, one has to hire a 4 wheel drive to master the bumps but the end of the trip is well worth the effort as the experience is amazing. Visitors can spend the night in tents where the game marches a few yards away – the guards keep an eye on them.
The Antartic peninsula is the extension of the continent facing Argentina which warms up in summer so that a few ships taking around a hundred tourist can sail in ice-free waters. Only that many can visit at any one time as the international agreement on Antartica allows only a limited number to disembark in order to protect the sensitive environment. The colourful and active fauna presents great photo opportunities and the penguins readily pose for snappers. The penguin couples of the colonies stay together for a lifetime and raise their young. This however does not prevent them from pinching small stones from the neighbor to build their nest.
