Description:

The Big Five of Africa, lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo, are Africa's flagship species. Named by early hunters as the most dangerous animals to confront on foot, and the ones most capable of killing a human, it was natural that they became highly sought-after trophies. Nowadays, the majority of 'hunters' are armed with cameras and the photographic safari has become a significant revenue earner for many African nations. Award-winning wildlife photographer Gerald Hinde has long been enthralled by these magnificent animals and has spent many hours in the field experiencing them in different moods and behaviours. Big Five of Africa beautifully reproduces some of the more remarkable moments Gerald has captured them during his visits to the wildlife sanctuaries of southern and East Africa. Brief but informative text introduces each animal in turn, providing interesting insights into the nature of these formidable, yet compelling, creatures.
