Summary

Across the vast and sweeping landscape of Africa, a stunning array of wild animals can still be found -- hunting, grazing, and playing out the endless cycle of life and death as they have for millennia. The Ultimate African Wildlife showcases arresting, beautiful, and often unexpected images of Africa's wildlife, captured in all their drama by acclaimed photographer Nigel Dennis. Combining a unique talent for approaching and photographing wild animals with a deep reverence for these creatures, Dennis presents sharp, vibrant close-ups, as well as dramatic panoramas, of animals ranging from graceful impalas to lumbering hippos, from scaly chameleons to brilliantly colored birds. Along with the clear, informative commentary of writer Brian Johnson Barker, this splendid volume of images will evoke every reader's wonder and admiration for the amazing animals of Africa.
