From the barren and sun-baked deserts of Namibia to the swamps of the Okavango Delta with their dense beds of reeds and papyrus, the landscapes of Africa offer a compelling backdrop to its magnificent wildlife. In the evergreen vegetation of one region a rich variety of water birds, fish, crocodiles and hippos may thrive, while in dusty semi-arid savannas zebra herds and wildebeest are ever vigilant against prowling lions or fleet-of-foot cheetah. The diversity and beauty of all African animals, small and large, as well as their breeding habits and social interactions, are presented in this stimulating and striking book. In a personal account of his life and work in some of the greatest nature reserves of southern Africa, the author conveys how a fragile network of viable ecosystems harnesses the vibrant life that so distinctively characterises the African bush.
