This book celebrates the wonders of Africa's natural world, from the smallest of wildlife species to the 'giants' of the animal kingdom in all their impressive glory. In some 150 stunning photographs, all submitted over the years as entries in annual wildlife photography competitions, this richness and diversity is shown to its best advantage. Each of the spectacular pictures, for its own special reason, catches and holds the attention - for the drama of the hunt and kill, the sheer beauty of an animal in flight or movement or the awesome grandeur of the landscape and the dignity of its inhabitants. As a highly evocative record of African wildlife at its most majestic, it will perhaps also serve as an inspiration for the preservation of a natural heritage of international importance.
