Celebrate 25 years of Kgalagadi Transfrontier park.

Joe Lategan

 "Where two ancient rivers once flowed — the Auob and Nossob in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park — a hidden world of survival thrives in the Kalahari. Beneath the parched riverbeds, life endures as trees reach deep into the underground remnants of these lifelines. In their shadow, the animals of the desert find refuge, adapting to a landscape where the waters has vanished, but resilience remains. This is their story — and the story of those who capture it."

"Joe Lategan is a visionary photographer who believes that the camera is a miraculous tool, capable of capturing not only images but the profound stories of life itself. For Joe, every shot is a testament to the beauty of the world, and everyone who shares the passion for photography is blessed with an elevated responsibility to protect life in all its forms, shapes, and sizes. Drawn as much to the stories behind the camera as to the act of taking pictures, Joe’s work reflects his deep connection to the natural world and his belief in the power of photography to inspire preservation and reverence for life."

This version emphasizes Joe’s personal belief in the camera’s power and his responsibility as a photographer to protect life.

In this first-of-its-kind series, renowned photographer and mentor Joe takes viewers on an unparalleled journey through some of the most breathtaking wilderness areas. This is a second in a three part series of exploration of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park now 25 years old, where over 30 years, Joe has documented iconic predator-prey interactions alongside small animals, insects, reptiles, and majestic raptors. From there, the series expands to other premier wildlife destinations, capturing the beauty and rawness of untouched habitats across the globe. Each episode delves deep into the life of a wildlife photographer, exploring animal behavior, vast and stunning landscapes, and the unique people and places encountered along the way. This is more than just a photographic journey—it's a visual and emotional exploration of the world's last great wild frontiers, from the heart of Africa to beyond.
