Geheimnisvolles Afrika

"Seeing is different from being told" - this Kenyan proverb is the most fitting way to summarise the content of "Enchanted Africa". In more than 250 black and white photographs, taken over a period of three decades, Peter Kisczio shows us glimpses of East Africa. Travelling to the furthest corners of Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania, the author and his companions repeatedly succeed in capturing images that will take your breath away. One moment we encounter mountain gorillas; the next we are whisked up to the skies for a safari flight along the world-famous Great Rift Valley with its majestic mountains, valleys, lakes and deserts. Exuding a subtle aesthetic appeal, the black and white photographs show us a region of Africa that is sometimes enigmatic, often dramatic and always wild. This photo book bears witness to one of the last intact nature reserves in Africa. von Kisczio, Peter
