RELENTLESS ENEMIES: LIONS AND BUFFALO

An extraordinary visual and written coverage of one of Africa’s most extreme hunting episodes, where on Duba Island in the Okavango Delta, Enormous lions have adapted to hunting buffalo as a single food source, and they do it daily!

Over 130 images spread across 175 pages takes you through this journey, led by Beverly Joubert’s National Geographic quality work, and Dereck’s written explanations of what it is like to live with lions daily and to witness some of the most bizarre events known to animal behavioural science. It is deeply thoughtful both in its photography and writing.


“Only the Joubert’s with an unwavering commitment to telling the story of Relentless Enemies: Lions and Buffalo, could bring us a tale like this.”
 
-Chris Johns Editor in Chief, National Geographic Magazine.

“Relentless Enemies is a vivid depiction in a superb narrative of photographs of nature’s elemental struggle for survival. To get such pictures you would need to become a something of a predator yourself-but kindly ones, as the Jouberts are. Their book is a reminder to the urbanized and dreary world that somewhere on this planet epic battles are still being fought-battles not based on pride or pettiness, but ones that are matters of life and death, in a cycle that began with the dawn of Earth.”
