“To me, this game has a very warm and loving message for all of us – to look into nature closely, sort of getting back in touch with the beauty of nature once again.” - Wataru Hokoyama

“There are four different camera bodies that you'll unlock as you progress through the game, and eight different lenses. The cameras and lenses are all licensed Sony equipment, and they're every bit as meticulously modeled as the animals themselves.”

Description
In AFRIKA, players step into the role of a freelance photographer exploring a brand new conservation area. They'll document the wildlife and photograph incredible sights such as a titanic clash between hippopotamuses, a pride of lions watching over its playful cubs, and a cheetah's lightning-fast chase as it runs down its prey! All of the game's animals and environments are rendered in photorealistic detail with animals that move, behave, and interact with each other just like their real-world counterparts.
The photography in the game is as meticulously modeled as the animals themselves; players will need to learn from the game's innovative photo-grading system and compose their photographs with the eye of a professional photographer if they want to earn top dollar. The money they earn can be used to purchase new licensed lenses, cameras, and safari equipment. If players are good enough, they just might find their photograph on the cover of National Geographic.
Produced in cooperation with National Geographic, "AFRIKA" features a wealth of information about each of its animals, including footage and photographs from the magazine!
