Naturally Wild by UD

I’m Umar Daya, a wildlife photographer based in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Naturally Wild by UD shares wildlife films, memorable encounters and the stories behind my photographs, with a particular love for Kruger National Park.

From the big cats around Satara to quieter moments in the bush, my aim is to capture more than the sighting itself: the way an animal moves, the character in its face, the changing light - with care and a natural photographic style.
