A fierce battle unfolds between a herd of wild buffaloes and a pride of lions. In the first round, the buffaloes emerge victorious, forcing the lions to retreat with their tails between their legs. The second round sees the lions overpower the buffaloes, and in just an hour and a half, a 700-kilo buffalo is nearly destroyed before their eyes.

The book chronicles such thrilling experiences, including nights spent in open-tree houses deep in the jungle. It narrates how, in the rain or when a snake appears or a leopard climbs a tree, the only defense they have is a large spotlight. At three in the morning, a herd of wild African elephants passed right beneath their tree-house.

This book, African Safari, is the first coffee-table book written in Bengali about the jungles of the African continent, offering a fascinating account of their adventurous experiences.
