I loved seeing this young elephant 🐘 with his tiny tusks. Tusks are actually teeth, incisors to be exact. He does look like a little dracula 🧛‍♂️ elephant. During their first year, an elephants’ tusks will replace it’s milk teeth. The tusks extend from a socket in the skull. They are very important for a variety of tasks, including prying bark from trees, digging for water, and fighting other elephants 🇺🇬 Murchison Falls. ChrisAustriaSafaris {dot} com

This is one of our fashion safari shoots with Nagginda Leticia, designer from Leonessa Fashion Designs 💃🏾 I photographed her while on safari in Kidepo Valley, northeast 🇺🇬

I was stoked to capture this African fishing eagle 🦅 in the skies of 🇺🇬 Kazinga Channel. We have over 1060 species of birds here in the Pearl of Africa.

Photographing in Kidepo Valley, northeast 🇺🇬 is such an amazing experience. The wildlife and landscapes here are spectacular. Visit our website, ChrisAustriaSafaris.com and join us on a photographic safari in the Pearl Of Africa. I offer personalized instruction on capturing images on safari and we train hands on out in the field.

There is a healthy population of hippos 🦛 in the Kazinga Channel- southwest 🇺🇬 These animals are the 3rd largest land mammal, (after elephants and white rhinos) They grow to between 10.8 and 16.5 feet (3.3 to 5 meters) long and up to 5.2 feet (1.6 m) tall at the shoulder. The average female weighs around 3,000 lbs. (1,400 kilograms), while males can weigh 3,500 to 9,920 lbs. (1,600 to 4,500 kg), Hippos are closely related to cetaceans (whales and dolphins)

Valley’s magical golden light in the early morning hours is stunning. The wildlife in this northeast region of 🇺🇬 is spectacular. I love photographing the powerful and majestic Cape Buffalo 🐃 Even when I see large herds, each individual has a distinct look. In bulls, their horns meet in the middle of their heads forming a continuous bone shield referred to as a “boss”. ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

27/04/2024

When I was in Queen Elizabeth National Park in southwest 🇺🇬 I photographed this incredible male baboon bearing his teeth.

I love the confidence and swag of this bull elephant 🐘 We moved our safari vehicle to give him the right of way as he walked past us. This beautiful place is Valley, northeast 🇺🇬

This is a closeup portrait of a lovely lion cub that I photographed at Murchison Falls, northwest 🇺🇬 She was relaxing with her mom and siblings in the early morning golden hour.

Licking minerals on the ground or drinking water is not easy for giraffes 🦒 because of their long legs. The arteries above the heart are muscular and elastic so they can pump blood against gravity to the brain. Lower arteries are narrower with thick walls to bear higher pressures and to prevent blood from pooling. Their arteries have valves that close when they lower their head, and open when they raise it. This position with their backs turned does make them vulnerable to lions who will hunt them. I photographed these giraffes in Kidepo Valley, northeast 🇺🇬 ChrisAustria.com

22/11/2023

I love photographing zebras 🦓 in Kidepo Valley 🇺🇬 especially the infants. The Oxpecker bird to the far right looks like he’s complaining to the other ones 🐦 They love eating insects that land on the zebras. ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

14/11/2023

This was the most gorgeous sunset at Queen Elizabeth National Park in southwest 🇺🇬 Landscape photography is like a Zen meditation for me. On this night, I was feeling so much gratitude that I live in such a beautiful country. All my worries were dissipated as I photographed and I felt hopeful about my future. I am so much in love with the African skies. Thank you to Kasenyi Safari Camp for taking us to this remarkable location ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

14/11/2023

It took me a long time waiting in the hot sun for this leopard 🐆 to leave cover. Photography has taught me patience and discipline “Akwata mpola atuuka wala nawolovu 🦎 atuuka mukibuga." This was at Queen Elizabeth NP in 🇺🇬 The most amazing country in the world ❤️ ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

21/10/2023

I love watching adolescent lions 🦁 Their awkwardness is endearing, but they also possess an inborn swag and confidence like this young male here. He has a lot to learn about survival in the African savanna. I hope to have the opportunity to photograph him for many years here in the Kasenyi plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park, western 🇺🇬 ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

13/10/2023

I was amazed how beautiful Lake Albert is, located outside of Hoima, Bunyoro Kingdom in western 🇺🇬 I was here to celebrate World Tourism Day. The lake is shared between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and located on the Rift Valley. Lake Albert is part of the complicated system of the upper Nile. Its main sources are the White Nile, ultimately coming from Lake Victoria to the southeast, and the Semliki River, which issues from Lake Edward to the southwest. The Lake Albert was formed about 10-12 million years ago. It was previously known as “Mwitanzige” by the Banyoro and Batooro, as well as other peoples who have been populated the region for centuries before the colonial age. ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

One of the first things I noticed about this lioness was how beautiful her teeth are. I was hosting guests from France 🇫🇷 on safari in Murchison Falls, northwest 🇺🇬 They wanted nothing more than to see a lion. With the expertise of our wildlife ranger, we located this mother with her cub. We were all completely thrilled. ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

30/07/2023

I was very happy that this young giraffe 🦒 posed for me at a close distance while I photographed her at Murchison Falls, northwest 🇺🇬 She has the most beautiful orange spot patterns. Like our fingerprints, a baby giraffe’s patterns are one-of-a-kind. The calf inherits its mother’s spot patterns. Their spots can also aid body temperature regulation and identify other giraffes in their family.

15/07/2023

This elephant 🐘 was sniffing us out at Queen Elizabeth National Park 🇺🇬 These animals have a very keen sense, detecting water sources up 19.2 km (12 mi) away. Nostrils are located at the tip of the trunk as you can see here and function in breathing, smelling, and drawing water in to sq**rt into the mouth. ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

10/07/2023

I love photographing elephants 🐘 when they are eating. They appear so happy and satisfied. This individual was in southwest 🇺🇬 I worked around these pachyderms during my animal career in the US. Being able to photograph them now in the wild is a dream come true.

27/06/2023

When I photograph leopards 🐆 I’m always amazed how graceful they are when they are moving. This female was high up in a tree in Murchison Falls, northwest 🇺🇬 I love her incredible paws 🐾 ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

26/06/2023

This is another portrait of my favorite cliff climbing lion 🦁 in Kidepo Valley, northeast 🇺🇬 Most of the time, I see males living solitary lives here in . Lions are the only social cat, and much of the time, they live in prides. ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

24/06/2023

This was an Epic moment. When I started photographing this lioness in a tree, she roared at me aggressively, baring her deadly teeth. But I eventually gained her trust and she relaxed, watching me peacefully as I took more photos of her. It was an intimate experience here at Murchison Falls, northwest 🇺🇬 There is a silent, inner communication that we can have with the wild animals we share this earth with. I learned this from my career working with the big cats 🦁 ChrisAustriaSafaris.com

19/06/2023

I’m always amazed how African leopards 🐆 are so powerful and elegant. We were very fortunate to see a few of these big cats this week at Murchison Falls in northwest 🇺🇬 It took patience and determination in the hot sun, scanning the trees with our wildlife ranger. Once this beautiful leopard was located, it took a lot of time with my lens focused, waiting for him to lift his head. This individual has the most stunning spot patterns.
