About this book
Spanning some 3,500 miles of the African continent, from Ethiopia in the north to Mozambique in the south, the Great Rift Valley is home to an astounding array of flora and fauna, including the highest concentration of grassland animals anywhere and three of the world's four great apes - chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. Pavitt, who has lived in the region for 45 years, covers the evolution, indigenous cultures, and European exploration, through text and stunning photography.
