Article, Photograph and Videography By Michael Lorentz Savannah Dreaming

Perhaps because it is the landscape in which our earliest human ancestors evolved, that the vast open savannahs of Africa evoke a sense of wonder and longing in us. To be on safari is to explore these endless plains and waterways, to smell the dust and hear the roar of a lion in the darkness. These are the places we feel most connected to in the Africa of our dreams.

The spectacle of the great migration, the lagoons of the Okavango, the abundance of Zakouma, the sunsets, the exhilaration, the simple joy of being in nature, the never-ending parade of wildlife and the warmth of the people who live on it, are all a part of why I can still never get enough of this landscape.

It is this habitat that we must conserve at all costs.
