Absolutely Amazing! December 26, 2008
My husband gave me this book for Christmas...it is truly the most beautiful book I've ever seen...I will treasure it forever. We went on our first safari in Tanzania in October and were in such awe of the country, the scenery and especially the animals...looking at this book brings it all back...incredible photography! If you want to "feel" Africa, buy this book.
Tour de force December 11, 2008
I am a photographer, naturalist and safari guide and have seen hundreds of books showing Africa's wildlife and scenery. It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to such books. Poliza's sumptuous book stands head and shoulders above the rest in its composition, eye for detail, dramatic use of light and the obvious feeling he puts into his subjects. I was pleased to see so many of the photos were taken in my country - Botswana. Breathtakingly beautiful.

A book for real animal and Africa lovers!! Excellent photos, combining nature photography and the art of composing colours and/or designs. Phantastic views from the air, but also from the ground. Who ever has been on a game drive in Africe, would have hoped to be able to get at least one of these pictures. Also the size (and the weight) is absolutely gigantic!
I'm spellbound!!! August 28, 2007

Having recently returned from Africa - my "long-time dream vacation" alas come true, I wanted to savor memories of its beauty and wildlife so I purchased Michael Poliza's book, AFRICA. If I was captivated by the sights I beheld in person during many game drives, I am completely spellbound now after laying eyes on Poliza's incredible, oversized photographs! I am pleased to have this coffee table book so readily available, to take me back to a place that will forever live in my heart. Thank you to Michael Poliza for expressing so beautifully in pictures what I can barely even explain in words! He has touched the core of my soul. His AFRICA photographs are phenomenal and truly inspiring! I know I will one day return to Africa but, until then, this book takes me there (so wonderfully) again and again, every day.
GORGEOUS August 26, 2007

Worth buying and having one of your own. The other reviews say it all. I add that it is one of my favorite books --- there are over 1200 books in my library.
