I photographed this vividly coloured Mwanza flat-headed rock agama in Masai Mara, where its orange-red head and blue body stand out dramatically against the rocky landscape.
While travelling through East Africa, I came across one of the most colourful reptiles I had ever seen. The male Mwanza flat-headed rock agama is impossible to miss — its orange-red head and intense blue body look almost unreal against the rocks. I photographed this individual in its natural environment, where these agamas spend much of the day basking on warm rocky surfaces. What fascinated me most was how something so vividly coloured could still feel completely at home in the harsh African landscape.
