This book offers an illuminating portrait of the game-rich South African Lowveld and its many and various wild life-forms, and of the camps and lodges that welcome visitors to this enchanted land. The story is told largely in a series of splendid photographs, the kaleidoscope scene viewed through the lens of talented photographer Denny Allen. Peter Joyce provides an informative narrative. Each of the chapters covers a different aspect of bushveld life. Among the focus subjects are lions and other hunting carnivores; the bigger herbivore prey species, which have their own defence mechanisms; those very large creatures, like elephant and rhino, which have few if any natural enemies; the smaller but equally fascinating animals of the region; the birds that grace the savannas and woodlands; the biomass background; and the sanctuaries themselves, most famous of which is the Kruger National Park.

Besides the floral wealth of the region, the focus is on matters of general tourist interest regarding what to see and do.

From arid desert to tropical swamp, vast grasslands to open bush, Africa is home to an abundant, greatly varied and often unique animal kingdom. Now explored and sadly often exploited, the magnificent African landscapes, and its wildlife, nevertheless remain in many places. Best of African Wildlife is a celebration of this great heritage. Here are the wonders of Africa''s natural world, from the smallest of wildlife species to the giants of the animal kingdom in all their impressive glory. Rare and exotic birds mix with the hunters and scavengers of the bush, deadly mambas with creatures of the deep, leopards, lions and caracals with graceful herds of springbok and gazelle. In some 150 photographs, all submitted over the years as entries in annual wildlife photography competitions, this richness and diversity is shown to its best advantage. Each of the spectacular pictures, for its own special reason, catches and holds the attention - for the drama of the hunt and kill, the sheer beauty of an animal in flight or movement or the awesome grandeur of the landscape and the dignity of its inhabitants.
