Big Five of Africa

Think of an African safari and the ‘Big Five’ - lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant - immediately come to mind. 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 he has captured on film 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.
