Journey Into Africa with National Geographic photographer Frans Lanting and record all of your adventures in this lined journal featuring Lanting’s surreal and inspirational photos of Africa and its iconic animals.
The Into Africa exhibit at the Smithsonian features more than thirty years of fieldwork in Africa by Frans Lanting, one of the world’s most renowned natural history photographers. The exhibit is produced by National Geographic in partnership with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History with support from the World Wildlife Fund.
The stunning exhibit reveals Africa’s powerful, unique landscapes, which are home to some of the most celebrated scenery and endangered animals on this planet. Over the course of Lanting’s many trips to the birthplace of humanity, he encountered otherworldly vistas, from the Serengeti Plains to the Okavango Delta, and captured once-in-a-lifetime moments of intimacy with some of the world’s most iconic animals, from elephants, rhinos, and cheetahs to chimps, gorillas, and the lemurs of Madagascar.
This journal features iconic wildlife images from the Into Africa exhibit on the cover and the endpapers. With sturdy construction and sewn binding, this journal lies flat, and the 192 lined, acid-free pages of high-quality heavy stock paper take both pen and pencil nicely to invite a flow of inspiration. All this, plus a ribbon placeholder, elastic closure, and 7.5 x 4.5–inch back pocket, perfect for holding photographs and mementos, makes this journal a must-have for any fans who love the natural world, fine photography, Africa, or journaling.
