En safari til en savanne i endring Den store løvejakten er et fargerikt møte med maasaiene i Kenya: Deres gamle fortellinger - og nye virkelighet. Kvegnomadene har i generasjoner levd i harmoni med antilopene og rovdyrene. Løver og maasaier hører hjemme på savannen, men har de fortsatt en framtid der? Beretningene kobles til løvenes urgamle historie, kolonitiden og frigjøringskrigen i Kenya, men også til turisme og nykolonialisme. Forfatteren har selv drevet med safari i Maasai Mara, og kjenner dens muligheter og forbannelser. I tillegg kan boka leses som en eventyrlig reiseskildring - ut på savannen og inn i et ukjent landskap, hvor maasaienes betydning for å redde de siste store villdyrene på kloden løftes fram.

The Great Lion Hunt is a vibrant encounter with the Maasai in Kenya - their old stories and their new reality. For generations, the cattle nomads have lived in harmony with antelopes and predators. The lions and the Maasai both belong on the savannah, but do they have a future together there? The narratives artfully intertwine the ancient lore of the lion, Kenya's colonial past, its fight for independence and the challenges of tourism and neocolonialism. The author himself has been involved in safari operations in Maasai Mara and is familiar with its opportunities and curses. He was encouraged to write this book by an el derly Maasai leader who has lived through the British invasion, the loss of land to European settlers and the more recent influx of safari tourists. The book offers a riveting illustrated travel tale. Read- ers journey through the vast expanse of the savannah, delving deep into the Maasai's pivotal role in conserving Earth's remaining majestic creatures.

A bestseller when first published in 1982, The Marsh Lions portrays a vivid picture of life and death on the African savannah through the story of a pride of lions in Kenya's world-famous Masai Mara game reserve. The story is essentially a true one. All the central characters are real, and most of the incidents described actually happened.

For five years, Brian Jackman and Jonathan Scott followed the Marsh pride and their progeny, painstakingly recording the daily drama of life and death on the African plains. In time they came to regard them as old and familiar friends and real individuals - the big resident males, Scar, Brando and Mkubwa and three lionesses known as the Marsh sisters. Their lives, together with the leopards and cheetahs that shared their wild paradise, offer a unique insight into the unforgiving world of these magnificent carnivores.

The Marsh Lions were the most successful group to be filmed for Big Cat Diary, the BBC's hugely successful TV series. With Jonathan Scott as co-presenter, The Big Cat Diary camera teams allowed millions of viewers to observe the ongoing saga of the Marsh pride at a time when lions are fast disappearing all over Africa. The Marsh Lions is a powerful reminder of what the world stands to lose if the big cats were to vanish forever and highlights the need to cherish the Mara as one of the most beautiful of the earth's wild places.

Almost everyone on safari hopes for a glimpse of the charismatic and elusive leopard. Chui was the first of a new generation of leopards Jonathan Scott watched and photographed in Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve in the 1970s and 1980s. He spent every available moment watching and photographing Chui and her cubs, Light and Dark, aware that he was only privileged to do so for as long as they chose to remain visible.

His classic account tells the story of the mother leopard as a solitary hunter providing for herself and her offspring. He records encounters with baboon, hyaena and man, hazards facing the cubs as they learn to fend for themselves and periods of play and relaxation. Some years after Chui disappeared, a young female appeared, Half-Tail.

Jonathan and Angela have followed her and her daughter Zawadi, stars of the BBC's Big Cat Diary, for the past twenty years, bringing the story up to date. Nobody has studied leopards more closely or known them more intimatelyJonathan says: 'The update is based on our work with Half-Tail and Zawadi from both the pictures and text perspective - Angie worked with us on Big Cat Diary as the stills photographer from 1996 and before that we both worked with Half-Tail from the time she first appeared around Leopard Gorge and Fig Tree Ridge - our kids grew up on safari with Half-Tail and Zawadi as stars of their own Mara adventures.'
