BBC Wildlife magazine - Skyhawk in Namibia Photo Gallery

We are thrilled to be sharing some of Skyhawk's best Namibian aerial imagery through an on-line gallery featured on the BBC Discover Wildlife website.

Namibia is one of the most astounding wildernesses we have ever experienced and we hope that the reverence we feel for this magical place is conveyed through this set of images.

Gaurdian of the Dawn

Gaurdian of the Dawn

Flying in the desert at dawn has a special stillness. It feels to me like the doors to the most ancient and sacred cathedral have just been opened. As first light washes the landscape all that are touched; animal, man, rock and grass stem stand in reverence and awe of the enormity of life.

It is that time when the desert world is illuminated with that indescribable quality; that transient brilliance that makes your heart trip over itself with its depth and vivid beauty.

This is an ode to the little photographed and seldom admired Red Hartebeest, on this morning no mere beast but instead a Gaurdian of the Dawn
