"Photographer Neil Leifer and journalist Lance Morrow have traveled to Africa on safari twice. They set out to capture the wild animals of Africa on the animals' terms. Together they have created an engaging mosaic of photographic and written anecdotes, meditations, and reflections about life on the African plain. With spectacular full-color photography and studied observations, 'Safari' chronicles the experience of witnessing the animals in their natural habitats. In the words of Morrow: 'The deeper pleasure of the animals is their sheer strangeness, not only their eccentricities of design but also their alien life, the nobility of their indifference to humankind. The animals are a glimpse of life on another planet. We have occupied their planet and mader our notorious uses of it, but their sheer life proclaims that it is their own still."
