Afrique - Vallée du Rift (154) Images supplémentaires...
Cutting through some of the most dramatic landscapes of East Africa, the Great Rift Valley is in the words of Anup Shah ^a complex landscape of cliffs and lake basins, dotted with volcanoes,
within which a great diversity of species has evolved and continues to flourish^.

Anup has documented the landscapes, people and wildlife of this region, from the Ethiopian highlands, to the Virunga volanoes, the soda lakes of Kenya and Tanzania, and the high plains of the Serengeti and Masai Mara. His varied photographic techniques, from low angle shots to aerial images and action sequences, reveal the dramas and secret lives of the key animal species.
