Africa: An Artist's SafariReviewed by Yuka Mizushima

Fred Krakowiak had always dreamed of going on a safari and had been attending safari conventions for a number of years. He recently realized that due to the increasing number of endangered species, now is the time to go.
"Africa: An Artist’s Safari" shares his personal experiences and artwork.
