For the first time ever, a photographic coffee-table book celebrates South Africa's most important national parks and nature reserves. South Africa's Wildest Places by photographer, author and adventurer Scott Ramsay features 30 of the country's most important and beautiful protected areas, including all 19 national parks and 11 provincial reserves. As one might expect, the 400-page book is big (30cm x 30cm) and weighty (3kg). South Africa's Wildest Places is the ultimate photographic reference for the country's famous natural heritage, it's diverse wildlife and it's awe-inspiring scenery. Few people know South Africa's wild areas as well as Ramsay, who travelled for three years to more than 40 of South Africa's national parks and nature reserves. He spent several weeks - sometimes months - in each park, exploring each one extensively, taking beautiful photos and interviewing rangers and researchers. Over three years, he visited each park at least twice, sometimes as many as four times. From the huge arid lands of the Kgalagadi to the teeming wildlife of Kruger, from the fynbos- rich Table Mountain National Park to the wild coast of Mkambati, Ramsay is happiest when immersed in wild places, and his enthusiasm and devotion to conservation is reflected in the range and quality of his photography.
