In this wildlife photography book you will meet Paddy Hagelthorn and see evidence of an authentic African safari guide and a true-blue bush boy. Paddy is the ultimate African story teller whose roots come from practical experience in the wilds of Africa. It is these deep roots in the African soil, that give Paddy his unmistakable authenticity and make him a safari guide with few equals. You will also discover Paddy's genius with his camera. He has captured the charm, the unusual and often spectacular events in the wilderness - a leopard hunting a leguaan, undeterred by the waves whipped up by gale-force winds, the matriach helping her herd which slipped and fell on the muddy banks of the Sand River, a jackal which tried to stop a python from entering his den and swallowing all the pups. These are just a few of Paddy's fascinating subjects. Anyone who is lucky enough to spend time with Paddy in the bush will relish the unforgettable experience. And so is it as you turn the pages of this book. Many people forget the real purpose of places such as Savanna Private Game reserve situated within the Sabi Sand Wildtuin which is now part of the greater Kruger National Park. One thing is certain. This land is precious and it gives us a fragile link with the past. To spend a few days in touch with nature invites us to appreciate the beauty of life on the African continent, as presented by Paddy's brilliant photography
