On Safari by David Anderson

On Safari combines the information found in a comprehensive travel guidebook with the visual presentation of a coffee table-style book. Designed by the internationally recognized, Alyson LeBlanc, this ultra suede and gold-stamped hardbound book is 8.5” x 12” landscape format and contains 1,065 stunning color photographs that will please you, excite you, and move you to explore the “Dark Continent.” Most of the photographs were taken during the Focus on Africa ’04 project when 142 photographers traveled to ten countries to visually capture the magic of an African safari.

Reviews

[Karel Baloun · Rating 4 out of 5]

First, yes, you should go on Safari. This book's excellent pictures and smart itineraries should inspire you. Anderson is right -- safari ecotourism provides absolutely essential hard currency that literally keeps this wild spaces wild and the animals alive. Do your part to save them, and feel supremely rewarded.

His historical and political opinions deserve some alternative reading, widely available. The book has too many lodges and commercial filler for my taste.

Above all, this will cure any reader of thinking that Africa is in any way one place, and that is somehow dark or dangerous. I can't wait to go again.
