Description
Dawn on the Serengeti comes in shades of apricot and dust. The jeep stops, the engine dies, and in the sudden silence an elephant ambles past, unhurried and enormous, while a pride of lions watches from the long golden grass. Nobody in the jeep says a word; nobody dares even to lift a camera.
Hannah had dreamed of that morning since she was nine years old, and when she finally made the trip for her fiftieth birthday she brought home a thousand photographs and one regret: that she could not bring the view with her. Her husband found the next best thing in this porcelain box, painted with an elephant and lions and trimmed with elegant gold. It sits on her desk beside her safari journal, a window onto wild places on even the most ordinary of workdays. Give it to a traveler, a wildlife lover or a dedicated conservationist.
