HORIZONSI
Paul Augustinus paints 'Horizons' - an idea based
on his knowledge of the Kudiakam Flats in Northern
Botswana. Home to iconic baobab trees and several
vast salt pans fringed by scrubby grassland,
this is the perfect place to watch a harvest moon
rising.

Paul Augustinus describes how in the 1970s while
stranded at Savuti during the rains, he got the
idea for this painting.

northern Congo Brazzaville is the inspiration
for this painting. The artist also describes
his long relationship with the Everard Read
Gallery in Johannesburg.

this Lamu quay painting. The artist grew
up on the exotic, Arab influenced Swahili

the 1960s.

COURTSHIP FLIGHT OF THE PENNANT WING NIGHTJARS

-Winged nightjars at Serondella in the Chobe
National Park inspired Paul Augustinus to
tackle this unusual painting.

ZAMBEZI
The wide Zambezi river at the confluence with
the Sapi river is where this painting is set.
Timeless and iconic, there is no location
more evocative of the African wilderness than
the Zambezi Valley!

NOVEMBER RAINS
The weather factory in the Mara Triangle during
the migration is the inspiration for this painting.

SURVIVORS OF SKELETON COAST
The nomadic and rugged lifestyle of the Skeleton
Coast lions. This is the main story behind this
painting. Paul Augustinus and his wife Clarissa
spent years on the trail of these elusive
Namibian animals.

TOWARDS MWAMBASHI
The Zambezi Valley has inspired Paul Augustinus
ever since he was a schoolboy in the 1960s,
when he spent the first of a series of safaris
camped on the banks of Africa's most iconic
river. His love of the Zambezi Valley has endured
to the present day.

A THOUSAND BUFFALO ENCOUNTER, JAU EVENING
Paul Augustinus briefly describes the progress
of this painting, and tells the story behind
ideas for works he garnered on several adventurous
dugout safaris in the Okavango.

TWO KILIMANJARO PAINTINGS
Paul Augustinus and his favorite refugia watertower,
Kilimanjaro. The artist has painted this iconic mountain
many times, and from many different viewpoints. Kilimanjaro
is the most iconic geographical feature on the African continent.

THE RIFT VALLEY PLAINS BELOW OLOOLOLO ESCARPMENT
The grassy plains below this escarpment in the west of
the Mara Triangle are one of the best places in Africa
to observe thunderstorms (and some wildlife as well.)
Every afternoon in August, thunderstorms form and
sweep across the plains - delivering the water and lush
grasses that are so important to the migration.
