Safari cover

This captivating book, Safari, combines stunning visuals with informative narratives, bringing the African wildlife experience to life through innovative technology.

In Safari, readers embark on an immersive journey through the African wilderness, experiencing the thrill of wildlife like never before. This unique book features eight magnificent animals—cheetah, rhino, elephant, giraffe, gazelle, zebra, gorilla, and lion—each presented with stunning visuals that bring them to life. Unlike traditional field guides, Safari utilizes innovative Photicular™ technology, allowing readers to view moving images of these creatures right on the pages. Imagine watching a cheetah sprint at 60 mph or a lion prowling through the grasslands, all while learning fascinating facts and insights from a seasoned safari tour guide.

The book goes beyond mere visuals, offering an evocative first-person essay by renowned nature writer Carol Kaufmann. Her reflections on the safari experience add depth and context, making Safari not just a visual delight but also a rich narrative journey. Each page turn reveals a new animal, complete with informative descriptions that capture the essence of their natural behaviors and habitats. The combination of motion and text creates an engaging experience that captivates both young readers and adults alike.

Safari is more than just a coffee table book; it’s an interactive adventure that invites readers to connect with the majesty of wildlife. This spectacular compilation of motion pictures and insightful commentary will leave readers in awe of the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom, fostering a deeper appreciation for nature and conservation.
