About the image

During one of our daily afternoon drives from Skukuza Camp, there was not much action and we had not seen many animals along the road. As we continued driving, this baboon suddenly caught my eye as it sat proudly on top of a high rock formation. Against the peaceful surroundings, it stood out beautifully and gave me the perfect opportunity to capture the moment. This photograph is special to me because it reminds me that even on quiet game drives, when there is not much happening, nature can still surprise you with a beautiful and unexpected moment.

About the photographer

My name is Lisa Naudé, a farm girl from a small town called Makwassie. When I was 10 years old, I discovered my mother’s camera and started experimenting with it. From there, my love for photography continued to grow.

PHOTOGRAPHER'S QUOTE

Capturing the beauty of God’s creation

CONSERVATION MESSAGE

Wildlife does not always need to be in the middle of the action to be worth protecting. Every animal has a place in nature, and we should protect these wild spaces so future generations can experience moments like this.
