Animals from above

This unique bird's-eye collection of amazing African wildlife from German photographer Michael Poliza, 58, was assembled over several trips he made across the continent in the past 10 years.

A photographer and travel designer, Poliza moved to Cape Town, South Africa, from Hamburg about 13 years ago and just started to goof around with his camera on safari.

Poliza challenged himself to take photos of lions and leopards with a difference, so when the opportunity arose to go airborne, he seized it to show animals from an alternative point of view. (Caters News)
