 Simply stunning and evocative!!! Buy it!!! July 1, 2008
This book is a treasured reminder of my time in Africa. More than any other book I have read in my life it evokes the true heart and soul of WILD AFRICA. The unrivalled photographs are breathtaking, harrowing, painfully exquisite.....and the poetically evocative writing is the perfect extension. It is simply put, the BEST African wildlife book I have ever read. A true five star treasure!!! Buy it:)
A top pick any public library strong in visual natural history displays must have. February 8, 2007

The gorgeous photos and elongated size of Relentless Enemies: Lions and Buffalo lends particularly well to public library display - as does the way natural history which surveys the back-and-forth interplay between lions and buffalo. The focus here is the Duba area of Botswana's Okavango Delta, with the ecology of lion and buffalo the object of a striking blend of full-page color photos and naturalist observations. A top pick any public library strong in visual natural history displays must have.

Superior photographs are consistent throughout this book. The accompanying prose is well done and provides additional information about the subjects seen through the camera's eye. This book is definitely for anyone who has an interest in lions, buffalo or the African wildlife. This book is the still rendition of the movie which is soon to be available on DVD. The movie has played many times on the National Geographic Channel over the past couple years. The information contained in the book does not lose relevance through time. The Jouberts have again provided a masterpiece.
 Disappointed December 15, 2006

I admire grate work done by Beverly and Dereck Joubert with all they movies and books (I own many of them). I even went do Savute to see places they described in previous books.
Needles to say I decided to buy this book blindly as I expected (as always) the highest quality. What was my disappointment when I discovered that this book is poorly printed and almost all photographs look gray. Even photos make in sepia look somewhat artificial. On the top of this cover picture (and many inside) is extremely out of focus. I find it hard to believe that Beverly Joubert would select such images to be printed. Those shortcomings took away all joy I expected to have reading this book.
