You are in a game park. Animals abound. Your camera is mated to a long lens. You shoot animals all day, every day. As you drive you are constantly on the lookout to find more animals. It is so easy to be focused on the animals that you forget to look for landscape shots. Yet, many landscape shots exist even in the game park while on safari. So make sure that your wide angle lens is handy. Be on the lookout for landscape images.

          Here are some ideas to get you going:

Rino Family Drinking Yes, animals fit very nicely into landscape photographs. In fact, showing animals in their environment can make for better images than a headshot with that long new lens. These rinos were far out. My wife had a 70-200mm on the full frame Sony A7RII. I rather like this "animal landscape".

African Rainbow

This might not be the greatest landscape as it is more of a skyscape than anything else. However, be on the lookout for bad weather and storms. Shoot those rainbows. Now it would be best to find something more interesting to place in the foreground, but nevertheless, shoot landscapes when the animals are hiding from the rain.

Once again, follow the action. If the action is not with the animals shoot wherever you find the action. Follow color and light.

African Sunset Remember sunrises and sunsets. The light is often not good enough to shoot moving animals during this time anyway. Look for good spots for the next day and be ready when the sun shows or exits.

Look for something interesting like multiple bird nests in a dead tree. Look for something that tells a story; perhaps that it is really dry or new life springing forth in spring.

Light is always very important. When you find good light shoot landscapes to. On safari? Look for animals and photograph them, that is why you are there, BUT please remember your landscapes as they may be a nice little bonus.
