Giraffe kicks camera

Chris Barnard placed a camera on the side of the road, drove 100 metres away and waited … and waited until a giraffe came ambling by. The giraffe could have crossed the road anywhere but luckily walked straight over the camera, kicking it onto it’s back in the process. An extremely lucky shot.

The Great Wall, Winter 2013

Craig Groenewald took a wintry walk along the Great Wall of China in a series of time lapses exploring the near deserted tourist attraction on a sunny January day.

Rafting through the Grand Canyon

Ant Hoard joined a 14-day rafting trip on the Colorado River through the mighty Grand Canyon. ‘Words cannot explain it. Video and photos show it, but if you really want to feel it you gotta go and do it!’ says Ant.

Road Trip – The Teaser

The is a road trip we did back in April 2013. We drove around South Africa and did random acts of kindness as we went. Things we did included taking someone to the ocean who’d never been before, performing a puppet show for orphans, doing a pub crawl on donkeys and handing out blankets to people in need. We are the No Danger Diaries crew and we are NOT SCARED! #SharetheJoy
