Book Description

April 17, 2009
For over 100 years, the Kruger National Park has provided sanctuary to southern Africa's most precious asset, its wildlife, 'Wild Kruger' pays tribute to this achievement, capturing the essence of this conservation success story. Here the park's wild inhabitants can be seen in environments more typical of their species.

Loosely ordered by habitat, 'Wild Kruger' meanders along the park's arterial rivers, the haunt of baboon and leopard, as well as hippo and a myriad water birds that make their living along the water's edge in this riverine environment. Crocodile own the watery establishment, and can charge thirsty patrons a hefty price for a drink of water.

Moving away from the rivers that are the lifeblood of the park, and into the bushveld - realm of the exalted lion - 'Wild Kruger' shows giraffe delicately pruning the acacia trees that are synonymous with Africa. Wild dogs and hyena hunt under cover of the woodlands, and shy sable and roan antelope hide in the expansive mopane forests that 'swallow' entire herds of elephant without a trace.

Emerging from the thick bushveld into the open savanna, 'Wild Kruger' reveals white rhinoceros as they languidly graze the lush grasslands. The rhino are joined by other plains game, including zebra and wildebeest, and the formidable buffalo. This is the shared domain of cheetah, nature's speedsters, and the Kruger National Park's most ubiquitous antelope, the impala.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have This Beautiful Book, May 18, 2009
This review is from: Wild Kruger (Hardcover)
Wild Kruger by Adrian Bailey and Robyn Keene Young is a beautiful, collector book which is a tribute to the amazing Kruger National Park in southern Africa, a wildlife preserve for over a century. The husband-wife team are photo-journalists with many outstanding, award-winning credits to their names. The exquisite photographs in this book picture the wildlife in their natural habitats and capture amazing shots of their ways of life. You'll find all the most difficult to photograph species: baboon, leopard, crocodile, many water birds, wild dog, hyena, elephants, white rhinoceros, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, buffalo, antelope, impala. The various landscapes of the bushveld and open savanna, rivers, and woodlands make the photos truly authentic and outstanding. You'll keep this book on your coffee table for years for everyone to enjoy.
