Leopard in the Afternoon - an Africa Tenting Safari

Leopard in the Afternoon is a captivating story of a journey through some of Africa's most spectacular haunts. The journey took the form of a quest for that most dangerous, most threatened of the African cats - the leopard. Beautiful, mysterious, savage and reclusive, the leopard came to dominate the author's thoughts and imagination. His drive to find the elusive creature led him deep into the Serengeti. Leopard in the Afternoon is also touched with poignancy and regret for a vanishing wilderness - a world threatened with extinction. The book is a celebration and a lament - celebration of a fascinating and formidable environment; lament for the increasing fragility of its future.Ondaatje, Christopher is the author of 'Leopard in the Afternoon - an Africa Tenting Safari ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781590482247 and ISBN 1590482247.
