Four years in the making, this superlative documentary vividly portrays the splendour of this major wilderness. Bruce Aiken's outstanding photography takes the reader to remote and beautiful parts of the park, as well as those accessible to visitors. Splendid behavioural photographs, including unique pictures of lions hunting at night, will hold the wildlife enthusiast spellbound.
The highly readable and informative text is written in a warm and personal style. Three chapters precede the main photographic part of the book. The first deals with the struggle to proclaim the park we know today. The next two chapters are interviews with the head of wildlife management in the park, and the park's most experienced trail ranger. Their straightforward, yet often philosophical answers will be of great interest to wildlife enthusiasts.
In the main photographic section of the book the park is divided into four areas. Each has an introductory text which contains a detailed map; a description of each camp and its surroundings; an indication of what animals are most commonly found there; and suggested routes for game drives. Vissza
