Ten years and 250 000 kilometres ago, Robyn Keene-Young left the corporate world to live in a tent and document the African wild with her husband, Adrian Bailey. He'd take the pictures, she'd write the copy. By turns funny and sad, dramatic and thought-provoking, Backseat Safari chronicles their adventures and misadventures photographing the wildlife of southern Africa, as well as the lives of the animals they lived with.
From Getaway:
So you thought being a wildlife photographer and writer was a glamorous business, all expenses lodges and lion kills? Uh - no. Backseat Safari is an honest, witty, sometimes funny and sometimes sad collection of tales of ... Robyn Keene-Young's life as a wildlife documenter. While photographer Adrian Bailey, her husband, tries to capture southern Africa through his lens, Robyn's all about words. Her stories of their journeys and her office in the back seat of their Land Rover are a must-read - especially to put the couple's glossy books and travel features into perspective.
