And the winner is…
Let the trumpets blare… we have a victor! This week, we reveal the winner, runners-up and highly commended images from Photographer of the Year 2024. Thank you for journeying with us through this celebration of Africa’s epic wins and painful losses. You’ve experienced with us the decay and the growth, the doomed and the new, the beastly and the holy, the survival, the rites and the rituals portrayed by these images. And thank you to all the photographers who entered – for bringing Africa to all the world. This year we received a staggering 6,796 entries, and selected 414 photos for our weekly galleries. No easy feat…
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on our winners featured in the gallery below. Also check out the Blood Lions photo series on the exploitation of predators behind bars.
Happy celebrating Africa to you!

Client testimonials
Here’s what our travellers have to say about their epic journeys through Africa:
“Two fabulous lodges: Enkewa and Saruni Samburu. Wonderful service, and great guides. Breathtaking accommodation and scenery at Saruni. New, unusual mammals for us and dozens of new birds. Teenage grandchildren loved the whole adventure. Well arranged by Africa Geographic as usual.” – Lex, from South Africa, travelled with AG to Maasai Mara and Samburu National Reserves in Kenya.
Impressive and extraordinary in every regard
“Christian developed a thorough itinerary that covered all of our areas of interest. Shortly before departing on our trip, there was a major political crisis that necessitated a change to two days of our schedule. Christian managed those changes effectively and ensured that our adventures were still amazing. Our driver/guide, Lucky, anticipated all of our needs and managed every moment of our trip. I recommend AG without hesitation.” – Juan, from the USA, travelled with AG on our ultimate primate safari, visiting Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (Uganda), and Volcanoes and Nyungwe National Parks (Rwanda).
