Warthog photography
Marty’s photo of the day #4449: Warthogs can be difficult to photograph in the wild. Deb and I would be hiking along and all of a sudden we’d hear something crashing through the bush. By the time we figured out that it was a warthog running away from us and not a lion or a […]
A dazzle of zebras
Marty’s photo of the day #4420: I don’t think I’ve posted this particular photo before. It’s a dazzle of zebras, photographed while hiking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe.
I’m reasonably sure . . .
Marty’s photo of the day #4413: I’m reasonably sure this is a young, black-lined plated lizard, but if I am wrong, I’m sure I’ll hear about it. (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Victoria Falls from the air
Marty’s photo of the day #4392: I shot this photo from the co-pilot’s seat of a rickety little bush plane. Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls is the widest curtain of water on Earth.
Zambezi River
Marty’s photo of the day #4330: This is the Zambezi River. Zimbabwe is on the near side and Zambia is on the far side. In between—lots of hippos!
Here, snaky, snaky!

A leopard in the dusk
Marty’s photo of the day #4308: That time when you’re in the African bush after sunset and you feel something big is looking at you. I photographed this leopard in Zimbabwe. It was quite dark out, and I really had to push my camera to create this image.

The other hippo story
Marty’s photo of the day #4230: Via both my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, and my college show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, the hippo attack Deb and I survived on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe (the hippo bit through the center of our canoe and lifted us six […]
Nine waterbucks
Marty’s photo of the day #4203: There are nine waterbucks in this photo. Can you find them all? (Photographed in Zimbabwe)
Mud-bath elephant
Marty’s photo of the day #4190: I photographed this elephant while hiking across Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. I’m not sure if it was just her earlier mud-bath, but she looked quite old to me.
Lion on the Zambezi
Marty’s photo of the day #4172: Deb and I watched this lioness and four of her companions hunt Cape buffalo along the bank of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. We didn’t see a kill, and after about an hour had to continue our journey downriver. I shot this photo as we canoed on by. This […]
Campsite on the Zambezi
Marty’s photo of the day #4158: This was Deb’s and my first campsite, along the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. At night, the hippos came on shore and roared—just a stone’s throw away from our tents. And joining them were lions roaring, elephants trumpeting, and hyenas whooping!
African Rock Python
Marty’s photo of the day #4151: A ten-and-a-half foot-long African rock python. Photographed in Zimbabwe.
