360-degree images from very high up show Africa in a new dimension. You can see the vastness of the country, the relationship of its inhabitants to the water and the beauty of the country at a glance. The extraordinary landscape format does justice to the panoramic pictures and underlines the importance of water for the continent.

The project aims to document the beauty of Africa, to create awareness for the responsible use of our most important source of life in addition to endangered wild animals.
