From the dust jacket-
"Over this spectacular setting wander the last of the earth's great concentrations of plains game- the wildebeeste and zebra herds, graceful gazelles, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, stately giraffes and the predators who live on them, the lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. Many rare species roam in this great natural wilderness, clinging to a tenuous existence...
"Overlaid on this garden of Eden is modern Kenya, a country of neat tea plantations, busy factories, sky-scrapered city and bustling tourist resorts. Uniformed chauffeurs driving zebra-striped buses take international businessmen to stare at zebras. Just outside the capital, Nairobi, a Maasai warrior leans on his spear, and watches the flickering screen of a drive-in cinema."
A book which highlights the contrasts and the spirit of Kenya, written and photographed by people who have made their lives in this remarkable country.
