Klappentext: "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
tranquillity to her drama. The book is a 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 birdlife
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."

Big Cats of Mala Mala
von Roger de la Harpe (Fotos), Pat de la Harpe (Fotos) & Heather Dugmore (Text), Vorwort von Michael Rattray
Gebundene Ausgabe, 144 Seiten, 193
Farbfotos & 5 Duotonfotos Sunbird Publishers (Südafrika), Dezember 2001, ISBN 0-624-03893-9
Klappentext: "The big cats of Africa
are probably one of the continent's most valuable assets. Each year hundreds of thousands of visitors flock
to Africa's game reserves to view lion, leopard and cheetah in their natural environment. Mala
Mala, situated on the western fringe of the Kruger National Park, is arguably one of the best places in Africa in which to see these
magnificent creatures. Photographers Roger and Pat de la Harpe were based at Mala
Mala - home to five prides of lion, as well as many leopard and cheetah - for more than a year,
capturing unique images of the big cats at close quarters. In Big Cats of Mala Mala, Roger and Pat
depict the playful nature of cubs at leisure and the often wanton behaviour of adults on the prowl in
photographs so perfect in clarity and mood that even if you have never had the opportunity to visit the bush
and view these cats up close, you will gain insight into their spirit and character, and be transported into
the world of these majestic animals. Heather Dugmore's colourful and evocative narrative on the big cats
includes local African myths and legends, and personal anecdotes that cleverly complement the sometimes very
graphic sequences of photographs taken for this volume, at the same time offering background information and
fascinating facts on the biology and behaviour of the big cats. Intertwined is the tale of the evolution of Mala
Mala, from a cattle ranch to hunting lodge into the modern era of conservation, vividly capturing the
essence of the wild and its major players, the lion, leopard and cheetah. This then, is the Big Cats of
Mala Mala."

William Waterman Publications (Südafrika), 1993, ISBN 0-9583751-4-3
Rückentext: "In a distant corner of
the northern Cape, daunting by its desert nature, alluring in its stunning diversity, lies the Kalahari
Gemsbok National Park. Second only to the Kruger National
Park in area, it has never attained the heights of public attention it rightly deserves. Its initially
forbidding countenance of ancient dunes and extreme heat and cold gives way to spectacular beauty and
wildlife. The diversity and vigour of its life are startling. The park has a highly distinctive personality.
There is no place where the cycle of birth, death and survival is not continuous. Some of it is on a small
scale with a host of creatures occupying the dunes and pans. Often it is easily visible among the gemsbok
and lion, the leopards, cheetah and springbok and other antelope, as well as the breathtaking array of birds
from raptors to weavers. The Crowded Desert is a narrative safari that is intriguing and
invigorating. The flavour and moods of the Kalahari are almost, tantalisingly, brought to life by the crisp
text. The history of the park and the personalities of the multitude of creatures which create its daily
rhythms of life are woven into the book to make it as much an engaging story as it is a vibrant record of
wildlife. This comprehensive book is handsomely illustrated with photographs from, among others, the Anthony
Bannister Photo Library, which represents some of South Africa's finest wildlife photographers."

Elephants: Gentle Giants of Kapama
von Heinrich van den Berg (Fotos), Philip van den Berg (Fotos), Ingrid van den Berg (Text & Fotos) & Keri Harvey (Text)
Klappentext: "Elephants are
fascinating creatures. The times we spent watching and photographing them at Kapama Private Game Reserve
have been some of the most memorable we have experienced. Perhaps it is because, like many others before us,
we could not help but sense a kindred spirit. Elephants show so many of the characteristics that are admired
in people. Despite their great strength, they are extremely dignified. Within their tight-knit family groups
they display compassion, loyalty and cooperation. They nurse and take care of their young for up to ten
years, disciplining, teaching and coddling them. Their friendships are life-long affairs and they never
forget. People who know elephants well would say that they have a sense of humour and a sense of self, and
no-one would doubt that they have an eerie sense of death. We would follow a breeding herd for days and in
their acceptance of our presence they would come right up to the vehicle, even touch it, and allow their
young to investigate and play right in front of us. Then the very next day their mood would be totally
different. In no uncertain terms they would show their irritation, breaking their way through the bush,
trumpeting, flattening everything in their way and hurrying along as if they had an appointment at the other
end of the reserve. Then they would arrive at their destination deep in the heart of the bush, and as they
reached their favourite resting place there would be instant silence and peace. We also had close
interactions with Kapama's tamed herd, which
is used for elephant-back safaris. These endearing giants never ceased to amaze us. They seemed to
understand more about us than we understood about them and their ways of communication. Few sensations in
the world can surpass that of being touched by elephants. The photographs in this book are a tribute to
these majestic creatures of the African bush, and are a portfolio of the special moments we captured on film
during our time at Kapama. This book is not
intended to cover all aspects of African elephants, but rather to portray the magnificence and the aura of
mystery and timelessness that surrounds them."

The Garden Route and Little Karoo
Between the Desert and the Deep Blue
Sea
Verleger: "'A book that is a joy to
pick up and page through – one that will always take me back to where I've been.' Such is the intention
behind this book, a description of the lush rainforest area of the Garden Route and the paradox of its
proximity with the semi-desert of the Little Karoo. The author explores key areas of the coastal stretch
between Mossel Bay and Storms River and of the broad valley, the Little Karoo, on the other side of the
Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains. Both regions are home to a great variety of plants and animals and are
opened up and linked by roads built with great skill and massive effort through mountain passes and across
rivers. Thousands visit these spectacular areas, heading for the sea or – in the opposite direction –
the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees and the Cango Caves. This book will give them a glimpse of the wild and
wonderful life along the way in a land steeped in history and natural diversity."

Greater Addo
Route of Giants
von Philip van den Berg (Fotos), Ingrid van den Berg (Text & Fotos) & Heinrich van den Berg (Fotos)
Verleger: "This book deals with the
magnificent and diverse wild places to be found along the Greater Addo Route in the Eastern Cape. The
expansion of Greater Addo is the realisation of visionary projects to extend conservation areas in a world
of shrinking wilderness places. The Greater Addo Elephant
National Park is the most prominent role-player in the area – and is also rated as the best place in
the world to view elephants. The main visual focus of the book is thus on elephants. However, the book also
covers the rich diversity of wildlife to be found in the area, including birds and predators."

Greater Kruger
The Big Picture
von Heinrich van den Berg (Fotos), Philip van den Berg (Fotos), Ingrid van den Berg (Fotos) & Keri Harvey (Text), Vorwort von David Mabunda
Gebundene Ausgabe, 208 Seiten, 155
Farbfotos, 2 Farbkarten HPH Publishing
(Südafrika), Oktober 2004, ISBN 0-620-32221-7
Klappentext: "Greater Kruger: The
Big Picture, presents an extraordinary collection of wildlife and behind-the-scenes images by the
internationally acclaimed photographers, Heinrich van den Berg and Philip & Ingrid van den Berg. The
photographs, taken over a period of more than ten years in and around the Kruger National
Park, reveal the unique style of the Van den Berg photographers. Concise text and extended captions by
well-known author Keri Harvey provide a stylish background and aptly complement the images. The region
colloquially known as greater Kruger is the most famous wildlife conservation area in southern Africa. It
includes the world-renowned Kruger National
Park, several privately-owned game reserves and a contractual park. This region also forms part of the
much larger Greater Limpopo
Transfrontier Park, which spans international boundaries and includes neighbouring game reserves in
Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Greater Kruger is the first book to include all these conservation areas. Greater
Kruger is no ordinary wildlife book. It manages to convey the big picture. It shows the wildlife and
other aspects of the area in a dramatic way with bold, in-your-face images. By focusing on behind-the-scenes
activities such as elephant and rhino translocations. lion darting etc., the book reveals a world normally
not seen by the tourist. The photography has a fresh and contemporary artistic style. The text is concise,
yet informative. The extended captions follow the thread of the story by elaborating on interesting snippets
that reveal the bigger picture to the reader. The design of the book also follows the Big Picture theme.
Large page-filling images are used in a design style that is minimalistic and clean, and invites the reader
to become part of the big and fascinating world that is the greater Kruger."
