Sunrises and Sunsets

African safaris come with early starts, early sunsets and noisy nights in the bush. The reward, however, is to be greeted some mornings with a spectacular sunrise that cannot be seen elsewhere. Similarly, busy days on rough tracks sometimes conclude with displays of outstanding colours in the sky as the sun sets. These pictures try to capture the extraordinary light and the atmosphere of these skies.
