Gerald Hinde – författare

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.

Think of Africa and one immediately thinks of its wild animals, birdlife and even its unusual and colourful insects. The continent’s rich and incredibly varied wildlife draws visitors from around the world, and The Very Best of African Wildlife brings together the best Africa can offer. From the Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant – to their many equally impressive companions in the wild, this book presents an extensive overview in stunning images of what the continent has to offer.
