Jeannette Hanby (author) and David Bygott (artist), made a decision to live in the Serengeti region of Tanzania for over 30 years to study wildlife and live among the local peoples in the bush, gameparks, and farmlands. They share their rich experiences of a time when locals still wore their tribal clothing and lived very closely with the land. This is a book of intimate portraits of local life in one of the most beautiful areas of Africa. Both the words and drawings complement each other describing a time that unfortunately has all but disappeared. This is set to become an African Classic.
