It has been nearly thirty years since Cyril Christo first set foot in East Africa and climbed its highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Today, he continues to document the disappearance of the essence of Africa—its vast landscape, its unique nature and animals—with faith and determination. With penetrating black-and-white images and a lyrically evocative essay, Lost Africa is a tribute to the beauty of this vast continent and a song for a timeless Africa.
