Rückentext: "The Okavango Delta is
the last in a string of waterways, stretched out along the East African Rift Valley. Each year an average of
5,5 billion metric tons of water moves down from the source rivers in Angola to form the Okavango Swamps,
home to a rich abundance of bird life, animals and plants. The Swamp Book is an intense visual
presentation of a unique inland system, dependent on seasonal flooding, and which is still largely untouched
by man. The exceptional photographs provide aerial views of riverine systems, combined with land,
water-based and underwater photography to provide a full spectrum of Delta life and dynamics. A visual
delight to all who share a love of unspoiled, natural places, this is a book to be enjoyed and
treasured."

Ten Days on the Chobe
A Photographic Journal at the
Crossroads of History
Klappentext: "Ten Days on the
Chobe is a work that was never intended to be published, about a time that was never imagined to be
possible. On September 11, 2001, the date of the terrorist assault on America half a world away, the author
was in the midst of a ten-day photographic safari in a remote region of southern Africa where the Chobe
River marks the watery boundary between Botswana and Namibia. Linked to the outside world only through
occasional broadcasts from a short-wave radio, this safari was designed simply to expand the photographic
archives of renowned wildlife photographer and author Robert Haas, in order to provide raw material for his
future works on African wildlife... The concept of producing this work, which combines dazzling photographic
artistry from just one safari of ten consecutive days with the contemporaneous journal entries of a very
private and introspective man, sprang forth only on the last day of the safari. Emotionally, it runs
the gamut, from the agony of missing family members set against the backdrop of terrorist rubble to the
exquisite vibrancy of primitive life on the Chobe; photographically, it spans the sight of a herd of
100 behemoths drinking along the shoreline to a single Pied Kingfisher with its prey securely in its beak.
What emerges is a work that distills the essence of those ten days on the Chobe in a form that is
unabashedly simple in concept and exceedingly elegant in its execution."

This is Botswana
von Daryl Balfour (Fotos), Sharna Balfour (Fotos) & Peter Joyce (Text)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 176 Seiten, 1
Schwarzweiß- & 244 Farbfotos, 5 Illustrationen, 1 Karte New Holland Publishers
(UK/Südafrika), Oktober 1994, ISBN 1-85368-376-0
Verleger: "Botswana lies on the high
interior plateau of south-central Africa, a vast, landlocked, flat, sparsely populated, mostly desolate land
of diamonds and desert-like wilderness. Enormous tracts of the country have no surface water; the only
permanent source is the northern river system, whose most spectacular elements are the Okavango River, its
panhandle, and the unique inland delta that fans out over the sands of the Kalahari in an immense and
beautiful complex of lake and lily-covered lagoon, palm-fringed island, reed and papyrus bed, labyrinthine
channel and fertile floodplain. The rivers, the Delta and the wildlife that they nurture combine to place
Botswana firmly among the continent's top tourist destinations. This watery wilderness, and the nearby
game-rich Moremi and Chobe wildlife sanctuaries, offer the visitor the best of several worlds, appealing
variously to the game-viewer and bird-watcher, the sporting fisherman, the explorer of hidden places and the
lover of Africa at its least spoilt. It is this fascinating land that highly acclaimed wildlife
photographers Daryl and Sharna Balfour have captured so evocatively, producing a superb visual essay. Peter
Joyce's concisely written and eminently readable text is an admirable companion to the splendid pictures,
and the comprehensive introduction imparts a wealth of information about Botswana, its people, government,
economy and natural heritage. This is Botswana is a book for both the browser and the traveller,
serving as a useful introduction to those planning to visit the country and a fine memento of an African
safari undertaken, enjoyed and long remembered."

Tuli: Land of Giants
von Roger de la Harpe (Fotos) & Pat de la Harpe (Text)
Klappentext: "At the confluence of
the Shashe and Limpopo rivers is a land of huge vistas, big skies, giant trees and great herds of game. Rich
in history and mythology, it is a place where the present echoes with footsteps of the past and stirs the
imagination, making it difficult to leave, and impelling one to return. This is the Northern Tuli Game
Reserve. Situated in eastern Botswana, Tuli was inhabited by early Stone Age and Iron Age peoples thousands
of years ago. During the 1800s it became the stage for endless conflict between two powerful chiefs,
Lobengula and Khama, a hunting ground for the famous 'Great White Hunter' Frederick Selous and others of his
ilk, a playground for the ambitious aspirations of Cecil John Rhodes and President Paul Kruger, and the site
of several of the opening salvos of the Anglo-Boer War. Like the rest of Africa, it too was systematically
raped for its wildlife by ruthless traders and hunters, greedy to harvest its great stores of ivory, pelts
and furs. Today Tuli has shrugged off its turbulent past and is a successful game reserve, with thriving
herds of elephant and antelope, giraffe and zebra, and it is shortly to become a core area for a huge
Transfrontier Park. Photographers and writers Roger and Pat de la Harpe spent almost a year in the reserve,
immersed in its past and present, and they have successfully captured, in evocative photography and
narrative, the mood and spirit of this legendary place. Here, in all its animation and beauty, is Tuli -
the Land of Giants."

Wild Botswana
von Adrian Bailey (Fotos) & Robyn Keene-Young (Text)
Klappentext: "Botswana is regularly
hailed as Africa's success story - with its history of democracy, its peaceful citizens and a healthy bank
balance. But it is the country's wilderness that commends it most highly. Wild Botswana takes readers
through this wilderness, setting out across the sweeping Kalahari where they encounter the hardy inhabitants
of this great thirstland. Here, the meek and the mighty are united in their ability to face down an
unforgiving environment. The journey continues to the watery mirages of the Makgadikgadi Pans, which fool
thirsty travellers in the dry season, but provide food and water to summer's itinerants. Yet the pans are
just an appetiser for the 'real thing' further north, where the permanent waters of the Okavango Delta
sustain an infinity of living things. From the tiny malachite kingfisher to the mighty elephant, the Delta's
waters are a powerful magnet to Botswana's birds and other wild animals. For endangered species such as the
African skimmer, cheetah and wild dog, the region provides a vital safe heaven. Travelling east to the vast
Chobe area, readers on this pictorial journey stop at Savute's pumped water holes, which are visited by
thirsty elephants, birds, antelope, and the migrant zebra that rest at the rain-filled pans. The voyage
comes to an end in the flower fields of the Tuli Block. Adrian Bailey and Robyn Keene-Young's Wild
Botswana presents an intimate view of this unique country."
