From the Foreword: “The African wildlife safari is indeed a great experience for any wildlife and photo enthusiast. In this book Diinesh has not only brought about a “Photographers’ Delight” of capturing the wild in various behavioural moods but also shown that one can enjoy a “Dream Safari” in a span of two weeks.

It is indeed a “Dream Safari” as Diinesh has been able to capture the Big Five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard) pictorially and illustrate beautifully their behavioural patterns.

Through this pictorial book, Diinesh shares some of his experiences and joys of witnessing and photographing what can only be termed as nature’s miracles. The famed elephants of Amboseli amidst the expansive backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, a cheetah redefining speed while hunting in Ngorongoro, flamingoes in Lake Nakuru, lioness hunting, lion cubs at play, surreal image of lions on a tree in Serengeti, the courtship of lions, spectacular crossing of the Mara river by wildebeests and zebras and a variety of other birds and mammals that share this wonderful land.”
