Bongeka Makabeni
Science Communicators
Information
Bongeka is a photographer at South African National Parks (SANParks). She believes she is a visual storyteller and has found expression within the digital content creation space. She currently creates consumer based visual content and internal communications with occasional hard-hitting issues around conservation, for social media, traditional and digital marketing campaigns. She only grew an interest in wildlife and conservation when she joined SANParks 5 years ago. Here she was exposed to wildlife conservation, something she had never known of and it changed her. Wildlife and the ocean became topics that move her and with a camera in her hand she is passionate about telling conservation stories. The thrill of seeing images become a story to educate someone who would have not known otherwise is satisfying and something she wants to do more of.
