Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010

This exhibition showcases the very best photography featuring natural subjects

The competition is owned by two UK institutions - the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine - that pride themselves on revealing and championing the diversity of life on Earth, and is brought to South Africa by NHU Africa.

Being placed in this competition is something that wildlife photographers, worldwide, aspire to. Professionals win many of the prizes, but amateurs succeed too. And that is because achieving the perfect picture combines skill, vision, originality, knowledge of nature and luck.

Each year the thousands of entries are judged by a specially selected expert panel. The exhibition offers an extraordinary insight into the beauty, drama and diversity of the natural world.

Price: Visitors 16 years and older - R15p/p | Under 16 years – Free | South African pensioners, school learners and students - R5p/p | Entrance on selected commemorative days - Free

Please note the museum will be closed on Christmas Day.
