Classic Safari camps of Africa was started 11 years ago as an association of independent, privately-operated camps and lodges -each situated in some of the finest and most unusual wildlife destinations in Southern and East Africa. In this spectacular, full-colour coffee table book, author and photographer David Rogers journeys to more than 40 different camps in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. Each one of these properties is privately owned and the fact that most of the owners live on the property -and often even built them --makes a tremendous difference. Classics includes some of the great characters of the safari world among them Robin Pope of Robin Pope Safaris who is one of the greatest walking gUides of Southern Africa. David also interviews Stefano Cheli and Aris Grammaticas who are founding members in East Africa. Selinda Camp, which is owned by National Geographic filmmakers and photographers Derek and Beverly Joubert, is also among the line up of Classic Camps. When Classics started, all of the camps were canvas or very traditional in design -and while some of them have developed a bit since and become very stylish and in some cases extremely luxurious, they retain the simplicity of form and authenticity. You never feel removed from the natural splendour of the environment in which they are situated.
This inspiring book tells the story of a photographer's journey to find the mysterious black leopard. There are few creatures as gorgeous and elusive as the black leopard. In Africa, these magnificent cats are so rare as to be the stuff of legend. Will Burrard-Lucas's love for leopards began during his childhood in Tanzania and propelled him into a career as a wildlife photographer. In his quest to create intimate portraits of animals, he developed innovative technology, including a remotely controlled camera buggy and a high quality camera trap system for photographing nocturnal creatures. Then, one day in 2018, he heard about sightings of a young African black leopard in Kenya and with the help of people from the local community, he succeeded in capturing a series of high-quality photographs of the elusive cat. In this compelling and visually stunning book, Burrard-Lucas tells his story of creativity, entrepreneurship, and passion for wild animals, alongside awe-inspiring images of lions, elephants, and the black leopard itself. • STAR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER: Will Burrard-Lucas's passion for nature and expertise in camera technology have earned him coverage from National Geographic, The New York Times, and the BBC—and over 1 million fans enjoy his breathtaking work online. • NATURE'S HIDDEN WONDERS: Black leopards are individual animals in whom a gene mutation results in excess melanin and an elegant black coat. Most are found in Southeast Asia, where lush vegetation offers them camouflage. In the semiarid shrub lands of Africa, black leopards are extraordinarily rare. Burrard-Lucas's images—showing these beautiful creatures prowling their territory under cover of night—are vivid reminders of nature's hidden wonders. • INCREDIBLE STORY: This is an adventure story that takes place in remote and wild corners of Africa. It reveals Burrard-Lucas's devotion, vision, and innovation that led to him capturing photos that are not only incredibly rare, but also breathtakingly beautiful.
