Gerald
Hinde, William Taylor
Africa. The
word conjures up a romantic picture of a continent
of dramatic sunsets, magnificent wildlife and breath-taking
landscapes. But this Africa is dwindling fast.
An African Experience is a celebration
of the untamed Africa as it exists in pockets of
land under wise conservation management. Gerald
Hinde’s magnificent photographs convey the
power and the beauty, the violence and the tenderness
of African wildlife. The text draws the reader
into experiencing Africa — from her smallest
creatures to her greatest, from her tranquility
to her drama.
The book is the
product of several months Gerald Hinde and William
Taylor spent together in the Mala Mala Reserve
in South Africa researching Gerald’s book
Leopard. It offers the reader an opportunity
to share in the excitement of the African bush
— to enjoy the bird life from under a giant
sycamore fig tree on the banks of the Sand River
or to watch with bated breath as a lion stalks
its prey at a waterhole. An African Experience
is an armchair safari through Africa as it used
to be.
