On Safari combines the information found in a comprehensive travel guidebook with the visual presentation of a coffee table-style book. Designed by the internationally recognized, Alyson LeBlanc, this ultra suede and gold-stamped hardbound book is 8.5" x 12" landscape format and contains 1,065 stunning color photographs that will please you, excite you, and move you to explore the "Dark Continent." Most of the photographs were taken during the Focus on Africa '04 project when 142 photographers traveled to ten countries to visually capture the magic of an African safari. Safari expert David Anderson , a veteran of 79 safaris, and Carrie Hampton, wrote On Safari. Cristine Mittermeier of Conservation International has written the introduction. When you have turned the last page of this 560-page masterpiece, you will long for more. Therefore, the publishers have created a companion web site, www.onsafari.info that will provide the most accurate information on African safaris on Planet Earth.

great guide to going on safari,
By
This review is from: On Safari (Hardcover)
I may be biased as I am one of the many contributing photographers to this book. I think that David Anderson did a good job putting this book together and that it is very informative to anyone wanting to go on safari. His knowledge, years of experience and a true love for Africa shows in this book.

This review is from: On Safari (Hardcover)
Yes I'm biased. I was fortunate enough to go on a David Anderson safari and to have the honor of having a photo published in this book.Even if I wasn't personally biased, this book is a beautiful asset for your home. Especially for nature and animal lovers, there are hundreds of photos in this book that are absolutely breathtaking. On Safari also gives tips and guidance to those interested in taking the adventure of a lifetime through a safari. Buy it! Worth every penny!
