Into Africa
Journey Into Africa through the lens of National Geographic photographer Frans Lanting, whose images have created an enduring vision of Africa’s diverse landscapes and wildlife.
Experience the wonders of wild Africa as seen through the eyes of master photographer Frans Lanting, whose images have created an enduring vision of the continent’s primeval natural heritage—and what is at stake in the twenty-first century.
Lanting’s images feature some of the most celebrated landscapes on Earth, from the sweeping vistas of the Serengeti Plains and the water wilderness of the Okavango Delta to the enchanting deserts of Namibia, the bewildering jungles of the Congo, and the otherworldly island of Madagascar.
During many journeys over the past three decades, Lanting has documented Africa’s iconic animals—elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, leopards, and cheetahs—as well as its endangered primates, including gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and lemurs. His personal stories express the deep understanding and sense of mission that make his work stand out as a unique tribute to the continent’s wildlife and wild places. This book is based on Frans Lanting’s landmark exhibition, Into Africa , which was produced as a partnership with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and the National Geographic Society, with support from the World Wildlife Fund.

Een machtig mooi boek, ik vond het wel jammer dat de tweede pagina (de eerste is de foto) zo wit was gelaten en er alleen een klein stukje tekst stond. Dat hadden ze toch veel beter kunnen invullen? Misschien wat foto's eromheen? Of iets anders? Maar toch mooi boek, en ik vond de tekst ook vaak erg leuk om te lezen (en soms moest ik ook even lachen).
Zeker een aanrader!

Probably the most beautiful collection of photographs taken across Africa that I’ve ever seen!
