— -- The World Wildlife Fund has released stunning images of African wildlife in their natural habitat.

The photos were taken by photographer Will Burrard-Lucas, who set up five motion-sensor cameras near gathering places like watering holes in the Namibia region of a multicountry conservation area known as KAZA. The high definition photos, which took three months to capture, offer a glimpse into the daily life of animals like African elephants, lions, giraffes and wildebeests.

More importantly, the images help conservationists understand wildlife migration patterns so that they can establish additional protected areas for those animals, according to the WWF.

Below are some of the incredible images from the collection.
