Wildlife photographerWill Burrard-Lucasis known for his ingenious use ofcamera trapsto photograph animals in Africa.
Over the past two years, he’s spent a significant amount of time at Kenya’sShompole Wilderness Camp.
The daytime heat creates a dry, dusty environment that can make it difficult to find wildlife to photograph.
These animals were attracted to a small watering hole that supported an incredible variety of life.
That’s when an idea was born.
What if they could offer a new experience to their visitors while also giving animals another source of water?
TheShompole Hideis a manmade watering hole far from other sources of water.
To everyone’s delight, just a few days later it was clear that Shompole Hide was a success.
Burrard-Lucas is thrilled with the result and is excited to see how photographers make use of the facility.
Every session in the hide generates a contribution to the local community, hewrites.
Shompole Hides journey is just beginning, and I cant wait to see what comes next.
