Product Description
Product Description
For thousand of travelers, "safari" means vacation memories of a lifetime. This stunning, 200-page tour brings the reader through the greatest safari regions of Africa. Animals, landscape, light, movement; these elements define a safari adventure. Yet in each corner of Africa, a different scenario unfolds. What makes an elephant look different at the base of Kilimanjaro from an elephant in the marshes of Okavango? Why does a lion on the plains of Masai Mara look nothing like his counterpart on the plains of Etosha? How is a camp pitched in Zambia different from a lodge built in Kenya? Safari shows us the many faces of African countries renowned for their safais: South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, and Tanzania. From the political stance adopted by the individual governments to the skills of the rangers, and from the standard of the accomodation to the configuration of space, each country in Africa, each landscape, each reserve offers a character, beauty, charm, atmosphere, and harmony all it's own.

Wonderful but more for adults than children
20 Dec 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful, big book. Although the cover suggests an art/coffee table book, the photos inside are a variety of sizes, not necessarily full page but definitely adequately sized. The shots are very creative, but they may not capture a child's attention as much as an adult's. Adults will appreciate dramatically lit shots of lawn chairs overlooking a nearly dark savanna, for example, but many children may not.
The photos are similar to those in a National Geographic issue, although on a much larger scale. It's not as dry as that may sound. If you enjoy National Geographic, I think you'll love this book. There is interesting text (although it's tiny - be warned if you need larger print) and fascinating photos, but it takes a closer reading and a slower trip through than many children will give it. It's more of an adult's coffee table book. Otherwise, the cover may be slightly misleading if you're looking for a splashy, full page book of African animals for your child.
