This is another photo I took this inside the Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservation in Wedza, Zimbabwe. Wedza is about two hours away from the capital of Harare. This conservancy does wonderful work helping to protect the wildlife of Zimbabwe. I wanted to get closer to this rock formation to check it out but I didn't have time. Apparently, you can climb the rock which I'm guessing would be quite a view! But I'm still happy with everything I did get to see here.
Thank you for your wonderful entry Matt.
The magnificent Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. When you visit them in the afternoon, you can see this beautiful rainbow from the Zimbabwean side of the waterfalls. If you want to see the rainbow on the Zambian side (Devil's Pool), you have to go there in the morning.
Woow! Great shot! Upvote for sure.
Nice shot! I have very similar one. Same view with colorful rainbow :) Might share my photo in coming weeks...
Beatiful scenery, amazing shot. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
For one heart-stopping moment, this giant Simba was 7 feet away, had his eyes fixed upon me, and was walking right toward me in my open-sided safari vehicle. My pulse went through the roof, but at the last possible second, he turned aside and walked around our vehicle.

What an encounter. I would be horrified and amazed all at once.
99% of the time, it's quite easy and natural to trust the guides' oft-stated confidence that predatory animals see the whole vehicle as one large animal they can't hope to take down (elephant on steroids), but this was the only time that that trust wavered. Thanks for the upvote!
This photo is the first photo I took on Mahe, the main island of the Seychelles. After eight days on La Digue we went to the South of Mahe where we had a hotel right next to the beautiful Anse Marie-Louise, which is where I took this photo during sunrise. Because of high tide there was not much of a beach to photograph, but the rocks provided the perfect subject.
Amazing color, look kind of mystical.
Usually I am posting animal photos for African photo challenge as wildlife is signature for this continent, but today I will try my luck with landscape of unique place called Deadvlei in Namibia. It is a place of old but live trees, surrounded by high sand dunes.

Old but live trees :) It's always so special seeing life out there in the desert. Beautiful image!
Yea, such an unfriendly environment for live being, but these trees does not give up :)
You do very well with all of your entries:)....
Thank you Tomas for you kind words :) I will still participate and do all my best also to win daily challenge and compete for weekly winner :)
Egypt is the land of the most contrasting deserts. Between the black and the white desert of Egypt that I've shared with you before, lies this other unusual, lunar-like scenery: golden sand dunes leading to massive tan boulders, once again craved by wind and time. It's a long and very hot trip to get here, but there is barely anyone around and you get to enjoy this natural masterpiece in complete silence and peace.
Very quiet I guess:)... Than you for sharing your entry with the rest of us. Tomas
Douz Sahara -Tunisia
After hundreds of kilometers in 4X4 under the hot sun and the temperature of 48 ° C across the arid landscape of Tunisia, with 3 punctures in 6h, we arrived at Douz, the desert gate. It is the most beautiful desert you can imagine, the red desert of the Sahara. Peaceful immensity with endless silence, a beautiful orange color that accentuates at sunset and great solitude ... all this produces in me an indescribable feeling. It is an authentic wonder and a real anti-stress.
That is really hot, just like your image:)
Hello again :) So my Africa is different, there are no lions or tigers. There are hard working fishermen preparing their ships before the season, using fire to remove all residues of algae and other friction increasing matter. Picture was taken in Nungwi, which was the last stop of our "Tour de Tanzania"

That is a wonderful entry. Very interesting story. Thank you so much for your contribution to the challenge.
Thanks ! :) I think I'll be a constant contest contender, or CCC as you want :D
Hot sunny day near the Great Pyramids of Giza. Although Cairo is actually pretty close, if you look to the opposite side you could see only the endless desert and desert and desert...
And sometimes the ships of the desert - camels
Shot with a long tele-photo lens quite well compressing the perspective
Enjoy the scenery :)

It is amazing how people find the ways to live even in the most unfavorable conditions. Thank you so for this wonderful image.

Lions are the only cats that live in groups, which we are called prides. Prides are family units that may include up to three male, a dozen or so female, and their young.
Females are the prides primary hunters.
Only male lions boast manes, so the lion on the picture is a female.
