The film African Cats (2011) takes place in the heart of Africa, the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, where in place of justice and fairness, raw power rules the day. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, gazelles and other large mammals roam the vast, rolling plains of the reserve and with so many species competing for space and food, the stakes are high, and danger looms at every turn. AFRICAN CATS is a comprehensive guide to the film, filled with stunning photography and real insight into the process behind the scenes.
