5.0 out of 5 stars Magic and Inspiration from the Dark Continent, August 17, 2000
This review is from: African Wildlife (Portrait of the Animal World) (Hardcover)
Joe and Mary Ann McDonald seem to have some kind of personal relationship with the wildlife of Africa. I swear they are all part of the same family. The incredible images they bring back from Africa tell a story of the incredible strength and diversity of the wildlife of Africa. I felt like I was sitting right in the herds and laying down with the lions.

If you are debating a visit to Africa, or need inspiration for your own photography from two of the wildlife photographers on the planet, get this book right now.

The McDonalds take photo tours to Africa several times a year, usually sold out. If these are the images people come home with from their trips, it's no wonder they are sold out. It is obvious though that their repeated trips there, spending lots of time with the animals, has paid off. They have truly captured a rarely seen intimacy in the wildlife. Top of my list!

4.0 out of 5 stars Africa is the place to be!, August 12, 2005
This review is from: African Wildlife (Portrait of the Animal World) (Hardcover)
This is a pretty cool book. It has many great photographs, and of course lots of good information on many different animals. Also, it shows many good and bad things that have happened in the history of Africa from the 1960s on. I think anyone who likes lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, hyenas, cheetahs, hippos, or any other cool and beautiful animals that nature offers should buy this book. It is so worth the money you'll spend on it. Plus, it's not all that pricy.
