Not to be cliche, but I have indeed always dreamed of traveling to Africa. To this day, I remember as a child watching on network television shows like Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and National Geographic. At first I wanted to be one of the researchers on the ground studying the animals and the people. That interest influenced my decisions to study subjects like biology, environmental history and geography. Over time my interest evolved to include the people behind the scenes, shooting the footage that influenced my life so much. I’m sure that’s why I picked up the book, The Africa Diaries, An Illustrated Memoir of Life in the Bush by Dereck & Beverly Joubert.
It is a beautiful book of words by Derek Joubert and images by Beverly Joubert, of the landscape, the animals, the local people, and mostly, of the relationship between a husband and wife with a common passion for Africa. I highly recommend.
