Amid the vast savannahs and acacia trees of Kidepo Valley National Park live vervet monkeys, small, lively primates that are instantly recognisable with their grey fur and blue-green faces. Their curious nature and social behaviour make them one of the park's most fascinating residents.
Vervet monkeys live in close-knit groups with a clear social hierarchy. They communicate through sounds, facial expressions and subtle movements. In the morning, you will often see them sitting in the sun, grooming each other or playing with their young among the tall grasses. Their combination of playfulness and alertness reflects the rhythm of the savannah: always balanced between relaxation and vigilance.
This photo collection captures the essence of the vervet monkey: from intimate portraits in which their expressive eyes take centre stage to dynamic scenes of play and interaction in the warm African light. A tribute to an animal that embodies both the gentleness and vibrancy of African wildlife.
