Shivang Mehta’s second book, after the best-selling ‘A Decade with Tigers’, is a unique compilation of the author’s experiences in Wild Africa – a continent where he has spent a decade photographing and understanding its wildlife and landscapes. The book chronicles Shivang’s time in Africa, drawing an interesting comparison of perspectives by a photographer working in both Indian and African landscapes. With an extensive set of images created over such a vast period of time, the book also brings forth how his observations in Africa have only strengthened the respect and pride that the author has for Indian wildlife.

The cover of Chasing the Horizons – Learnings from Africa is a unique amalgamation of 4 iconic big cats – Tiger, Leopard, Cheetah & African Lion. The cover has been hand painted by Vijay Kumawat – an artist from Ranthambore National Park. Vijay has used charcoal, soot and references of Shivang Mehta’s images to compile this brilliant piece of art. The cover took months of ideation and a lot of samples were made in order to get the perfect balance of the facial characteristics of these 4 cats.
