Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: A Guidebook for Photographers and Nature Lovers
‘Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: A Guidebook for Photographers & Nature Lovers’ is the first eBook of my new series of photographic guidebooks.
These Photography Guidebooks aims at all kind of visitors to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa & Botswana. Be it a professional photographer or a keen beginner. Not only is the guide a valuable information source to photographers but also for keen naturalist, the nature lover or the visitors who want to make the most of their time in the Kalahari. My Photographic Guidebooks are designed in such a way that you can easily use them on many types of digital devices like cell phones, tablets or notebooks. It will be available as a PDF download.
Over the past years I spend more than 800 days in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park photographing its mood and spirit of this magical place. In addition, I worked for several years on my Diploma and PhD Thesis in animal ecology inside the Park and on surrounding farmland. During this time I developed a profound knowledge and feeling for this stunning region and its animals and plants. Every year I’m coming back to my ‘2nd home’ for at least 4 weeks to enjoy this beautiful place. With this new series of photographic guidebooks I try to make your stay as pleasant and successful as possible.
