Safari: An Illustrated Celebration of East African Fauna and Flora

An exquisitely illustrated celebration of East African biodiversity by Sarah Markes, the third book in her coffee table series after Street Level (Dar es Salaam, Rows 218 and 328) and Sea Level (Zanzibar, Row 323). Markes brings together a delightful selection of Eastern Africa’s biodiversity, both common and rare alike, delicately capturing the essence and detail of each species. She invites readers to view the beautiful miscellany through her unique talent while giving insight into the behaviour and conservation status of the plants and animals featured. Tim R B Davenport, Africa Director at Re:wild, praises Markes’s achievement and challenges anyone not to be inspired by these works of art. The book features iconic Safari species such as lions, elephants, and ostriches alongside less well-known frogs, fish, and flowers. Markes hopes it inspires readers to explore, look, listen, and learn more, and ideally to support conservation of the natural environment in any way possible.
