Among the sunburned yellow grass of the savannah, two lion cubs play under the indolent gaze of their father, while a short distance away, a pack of hyenas fights over a gazelle carcass. Presenting a realistic, unflinching look at life on the African savannah, this fascinating volume from acclaimed naturalists Christine and Michel Denis-Huot reveals the many faces of this beautiful and challenging habitat. Capturing moments of peaceful harmony and episodes of harsh reality, these exceptional images offer readers a uniquely personal, up-close perspective on life in one of the most intriguing and complex habitats in the world. The Denis-Huots bring to this book the same depth of information and sense of respect and admiration for African wildlife that made their recent publication, Lords of the Savannah, so compelling. With their firsthand knowledge of the African savannah and ability to capture on film moments we would never ordinarily witness, they are uniquely equipped to chronicle the circle of life in a truly wild world. Accompanying hundreds of photographs, the engaging text provides the latest finding on the habits and habitats of the denizens of the savannah, and expresses the authors' fascination with life in wildest Africa.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great!,
By Georgiana Chan "Georgi" (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Safari in Wildest Africa (Journeys Through World & Natur) (Hardcover)
I have several books of these authors and already knew that they will not let me down. But the photos inside surprise me beyond my expectation. They captured not only the very moment of lots of action e.g. giraffes flighting, struggling of buffalo under lions' attack, but also the photos were taken from a very excellent angle and composition and show lots of facial expression of the wild animals. A must on your bookshelf if you like african wild animals.

This review is from: Safari in Wildest Africa (Journeys Through World & Natur) (Hardcover)
I wanted this book so bad but I was not about to pay $30 at the bookstore. Again, Amazon impressed me with their product availability and prices listed by sellers. I bought this book for $12! I got it today and I love the pictures! I fell in love with the African plains through watching Big Cat Diary on BBC/Animal Planet. When I saw this book at the bookstore, I had trouble putting it down because of all the great information. I am hoping to have a career as an African guide and I am currently majoring in Biology in college. I am very excited and this book will help me with preparing myself for such a career. Thanks again, Amazon!
