Paul Goldstein et Kyriakos Kaziras, deux grands photographes animaliers professionnels, vous présentent dans cet ouvrage le résultat de nombreuses années de passion photographiques pour le Masai Mara Le Masai Mara est la réserve naturelle la plus prolifique du monde. Elle est située au sud-ouest du Kenya et elle est contiguë au Serengeti situé en Tanzanie. Chaque année, deux millions d'animaux supplémentaires remplissent les plaines fertiles du Masai Mara, poursuivis implacablement par des prédateurs. Kyriakos et Paul explorent ensemble ou séparément depuis plus de 15 ans les plaines du Masai Mara pour en capter la beauté, l'essence des paysages et la férocité animale quotidienne. Riche de magnifiques vallées, de larges prairies et d'une qualité de lumière unique au monde, le Masai Mara est tantôt dramatique, tantôt spectaculaire, mais toujours passionnant. Et si une majorité de programmes télévisuels de faune et flore sont filmés de ces plaines riches ou l'émotion entre en jeu à chaque instant, ce n'est pas par hasard. Au travers de 250 photos de grande qualité, exprimant le résultat de leur passion du Masai Mara, ils vous présentent la magie de ces lieux ; des paysages exceptionnels aux lumières d'une rare beauté et bien sûr aux habitants humains ou animaux qui font de cet endroit un lieu d'éternité.
