Klappentext: "Im rauhen Norden
Kenias, weit entfernt von jeglicher Zivilisation, leben die Samburu, ein halbnomadisches Hirtenvolk, einer
der letzten Kriegerstämme Afrikas. Über ihre Herkunft gibt es keine Zeugnisse. Sie selbst nennen sich Die
mit den weißen Ziegen, ernähren sich von Fleisch, Milch und Blut und ziehen mit ihren Herden durch
das karge Land, immer auf der Suche nach Wasser und nach Weideplätzen. Obwohl ihre Sprache kein Wort für Willkommen
kennt und die Samburu sich Fremden gegenüber feindselig verhalten, ist es Thomasin Magor gelungen, das
Vertrauen dieser Menschen zu erringen. Sechs Jahre hat sie bei ihnen gelebt. Sogar die Männer akzeptierten
sie, ließen sie teilhaben an Riten und Zeremonien, die den Frauen sonst verschlossen sind. Thomasin Magor
konnte einmalige Einblicke gewinnen in die Rituale und Symbole einer sehr besonderen Kultur, in eine kleine,
geschlossene Gesellschaft, die sich durch ein lebendiges, fluktuierendes Rollensystem und die tiefe Achtung
vor den älteren Stammesmitgliedern auszeichnet. E-muratare, das alle 14 Jahre stattfindende Fest der
Beschneidung, das junge Samburu zu Kriegern macht, ist das bedeutendste Ereignis der Samburu-Kultur;
Thomasin Magor hat 1990 diese Initiationsriten miterlebt. Ihre Fotos dokumentieren eine geheimnisvolle,
fremde Welt, eine Lebensweise, von der niemand sagen kann, wie lange es sie noch geben wird."

The Serengeti's Great Migration
von Carlo Mari (Fotos) & Harvey Croze (Text), Geleitwort von Peter Matthiessen,Einführung
von Richard D. Estes
Gebundene Ausgabe, 258 Seiten, 168
Duotonfotos, 1 Karte Abbeville Press (USA),
September 2000, ISBN 0-7892-0669-2
Verleger: "The world's most
astonishing wildlife migration is dramatically captured in 160 breathtaking duotone photographs. The vast
grasslands of the Serengeti and the golden
plateau of the Masai Mara are a sanctuary for wildlife and the stage for one of the most extraordinary
natural phenomena on earth: the wildebeast migration. The sheer scale of this event is both awesome and
unimaginable - 1,500,000 wildebeasts joined by hundreds of thousands of zebras, gazelles, elephants, and
their predators. Photographer Carlo Mari has followed these animals for ten years and watched them
stampeding relentlessly from one horizon to another in vast unbroken columns. His photographs portray the
dynamism and courage of the herds, their rhythms, their conquest of new spaces, and their struggle to live
and perpetuate themselves. Set within the context of the whole of African wildlife, these images,
accompanied by Harvey Croze's authoritative text, stretch beyond the migration itself and provide a glimpse
into a journey without end, a perpetual circle of passage. A safari through the pages of this memorable book
is the next best thing to being there."

Klappentext: "Shepherds of the
Desert is a visually stunning book which will take you deep into the lives of the handsome nomadic
peoples of northern Kenya. To capture these images the author became a wanderer himself, crossing and
re-crossing an area larger than Great Britain with few roads and no permanent rivers. It is a land of vast
spaces, studded with mountains and split by the Great Rift Valley, largest geological feature on earth.
Cradled here, close to the shore of Lake Turkana, is Africa's richest fossil site where the bones of early
man have lain for two million years. Roaming this ancient wilderness, the Samburu, Turkana, Pokot, Rendille
and Gabbra herd their animals on an endless search for new grass, new browse, new water. 'Long-boned'
Africans, many of these pastoral nomads are strikingly beautiful and have a fascinating variety of
life-styles, languages and traditions. David Keith Jones portrays their mysterious initiation dances and
ancient ceremonies; the skilled workmanship of their artefacts; their homes, elders, families and animals;
their daily triumph over the harsh environment. Against the background of their huge and timeless landscape,
the wild creatures and plants of the region, he creates a unique tribute to the beauty, strength and
versatility of the shepherds of the desert."

Talk to the Stars
The Samburu of Northern Kenya
von Rhodia Mann (Text) & Clive Ward (Fotos), Vorwort von David Coulson
Gebundene Ausgabe, limitierte Auflage von
500 handsignierten Exemplaren, 164 Seiten, 153 Farbfotos, Diagramme, Tabellen, Karten Desert Sands (Kenia),
September 2001, ISBN 9966-9694-0-3
Klappentext: "Rhodia's quest to
understand and record Samburu culture before it disappears has led her into many unusual adventures. In her
small and battered Suzuki, she has traversed the 8,000 square miles of Samburuland a thousand times. The
outer journeys - as well as the inner one - took her over twenty years, whilst she gradually gained the
respect and trust of a shy and reticent people. Healing arts, divination techniques, sacred places and
esoteric knowledge were revealed to her - one tiny fact at a time. It took years and years of patient
listening, observing and questioning before these tidbits of privileged information became a book. Finding a
photographer for what seemed an endless project presented many difficulties. Rhodia feels herself fortunate
in having found Clive Ward. His training as a professional mountain guide gave him the patience her unusual
subject-matter demanded. He accompanied her on her more recent journeys. Rhodia's text is full of both
physical fact and metaphysical information. Much of this is new and unique, giving insights into the 'inner
workings' of this proud culture. Interspersed with anthropology are personal experiences: some poignant,
some extremely humorous. She makes no bones about how the book got written! Clive's photographs cover major
ceremonies as well as hitherto unknown rituals; portraits of specific and important individuals, as well as
unforgettable panoramas. The book is a feast for both mind and spirit."

Klappentext: "A Tent with a View
is a record of Robert Vavra's journey to Kenya as he went to discover for himself whether the Africa he had
always dreamed about still existed. Accompanied by Sekerot Ole Mpetti, an English-speaking Maasai who became
both friend and interpreter, Vavra set up his tent at Ololasurai in the highlands of southwestern Kenya,
where few white men have been seen. He got to know the fiercely reticent Maasai as they came by his tent to
exchange stories and experiences. Earning the trust of the Maasai - 'Thank you for respecting us and our
conversation' was a phrase he heard again and again - he photographed them in their many moods: the proud
young man about to go through a circumcision on his passage to manhood; the beaming young woman showing off
her intricate, colorful beadwork; the carefree joy of the young and the knowing resignation of the old. His
camera has also recorded the surrounding landscape and the wild animals, including Africa's most dangerous,
the Cape buffalo, one of which nearly cost Robert Vavra his life. With vivid text detailing his experiences,
the book is indeed a record of an intimate African experience and a celebration of the Africa the author
feared was lost. A vibrant portrait of a vanishing way of life, a moving account of getting to know a
people, not as cold, anthropological types but as friends, and a beautiful work of art, A Tent with a
View is Robert Vavra's most compelling book ever."

This is Kenya
von Jean Hartley (Text)

Gebundene Ausgabe, 176 Seiten, 266
Farbfotos, 1 Schwarzweißfoto, 1 Farbkarte New Holland Publishers
(UK/Südafrika), November 1995, ISBN 1-85368-377-9
Klappentext: "A land of many
contrasts, Kenya straddles the equator on the eastern side of Africa. The jagged, snow-covered peaks of
Africa's second highest mountain, Mount Kenya,
dominate the fertile central highlands, where much of the world's tea and coffee is grown. Ancient man lived
beside the lakes of the Great Rift Valley, and took his first upright steps on its volcanic sands. Modern
man lives beside those same lakes, looking no doubt with equal wonder at the spectacle of two million
flamingos, a blaze of pink around the water's edge. Kenya's national parks and reserves are among the
world's most famous and include the rolling savannas of the Masai Mara, where the world's largest animal
migration takes place each year. More than 1.2 million wildebeest follow their traditional circuit in search
of new grass, crossing the Mara River with daring leaps into its swirling waters. Amboseli is well
renowned, with its herds of elephants against the magnificent backdrop of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.
The country is also home to more than a thousand species of birds, many of which migrate from central
Europe. The Indian Ocean forms Kenya's eastern boundary, and even the inexperienced snorkeller will find a
breathtaking variety of colourful fish and corals in sheltered lagoons. Scuba divers explore beyond the
protective reef, sharing the water with dolphins, whale sharks, turtles and giant manta rays. The people of
Kenya are a heady mix stemming from ancient historical backgrounds. People from Arabia and Asia as well as
from other parts of Africa have over time settled and mingled, forming new customs and cultures. Today's
people live in the era of technological advancement, yet there are still nomadic herders, pastoralists and
agriculturists who manage to adhere to their age-old traditions within this modern society. Superb
photographs by renowned Kenyan and South African photographers such as Daryl and Sharna Balfour, Mitch
Reardon, Dave Richards and Andrew Bannister, among others, illustrate some of the wonders of this varied
land, taking the reader on an unforgettable journey around this friendly and fascinating country."
