Home to several photography 'hides,' South Africa's Zimanga reserve, run by Charl Senekal, is now considered one of the continent's foremost destinations for wildlife photographers.

At the lagoon in KwaZulu-Natal, eastern South Africa, nightfall covers the Zimanga Private Game Reserve in a dark blanket. The only light comes from a new moon, slowly drifting across the cloudless winter sky, which paints the perfect backdrop for what lies in wait. Mixed in with nature's soundtrack is a beeping alarm, which sets off a quiet rush for photographers to get in position -- ready for something to happen in an instant.

Senekal's love for both wildlife and photography stems from his childhood, when his father purchased a new Minolta camera."He brought this beautiful camera home, and he opened the box and I immediately annexed it," Senekal says."He had to buy himself a new one."
