Description

The Marsh Lions tells the story of a pride of lions in Kenya's world-famous Masai Mara game reserve. For five years, Brian Jackman and Jonathan Scott followed the Marsh pride and their progeny, 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 Marsh Lions were the most successful group to be filmed for Big Cat Diary, the BBC's hugely successful TV series presented by Jonathan Scott.

Praise for Marsh Lions: The Story of an African Pride

‘Absolutely stunning...It reeks of Africa. It smells of Africa. The whole thing is just living Africa. It’s a lovely book for the armchair naturalist.” Living World, BBC Radio Four

 

‘For more than 30 years Brian Jackman has been one of Britain’s finest nature and travel writers... There is no continent and scarcely a country that has not basked in the glow of his elegant, evocative prose, in which details of landscape, people and – especially – wildlife are touched in with painterly exactitude.’ Richard Girling, The Sunday Times Magazine
