A British wildlife photographer has captured stunning new shots of Africa - using a homemade helicopter drone. Will Burrard-Lucas, 34, spent five months building and learning to fly the BeetleCopter before taking it out from a spin in the Serengeti in Tanzania. He was able to capture sweeping scenes of migrating wildebeest and antelope as well as intimate shots of giraffe and hyena.

Will is a British wildlife photographer and entrepreneur, known for developing devices, such as the BeetleCam and camera traps, which enable him to capture close-up photographs of wildlife. He created BeetleCam in 2009, a remote-control camera buggy, and used it to take close-up photographs of elephants, lions and buffalo in Tanzania.

You never know what you're going to find when you venture out into the wild as a photographer or explorer. You can have an idea of what you are looking for, but nature has a knack of giving people surprises.
