Alternative Africa

From east to west and from central to southern Africa, this month's enews captures the diverse nature of Africa's people and the untamed spirit of its wilderness.

While each country featured is distinctive in its own right, there are common threads like the staggering breadth of wildlife, the wide open spaces and the magical first morning light that warms the soul and gives an unbeatable start to the day.

Meet wild dog experts in Zimbabwe or the Ba'Aka tribe in the Congo; collar wild elephants in Tanzania, join lion researchers in Cameroon or photograph the prolific wildlife of the Masai Mara.
