twikga launches Phanhabs Savanna

by | May 2013

Today twikga launches it’s second book in the Phanhabs series: Savanna. Phanhabs stands for “phantastic habitats”. They are creative impressions of the habitats of wild african animals. This book illustrates the change of seasons in the african savanna in nine colorful plates. The first plates illustrate the dry season, with dusty planes and golden light. In this harsh environment a lot of animals are dependent on permanent water-sources and waterholes are small oases in the barren landscape. Other animals, like the wildebeest in the Serengeti migrate to find water and fresh grass. Thunderclouds building up announce the rainy season. It transforms the landscape into a land of plenty, where a lot of animals have their young, making use of the abundance of food and water. The colorful illustrations are a mix of photographs, drawings and collages. The pictures were taken by Tanja Dekker and her husband during their safaris in Africa. The hiding places and names of the animals can be found in the back of the book. Have fun spotting them! More information about Phanhabs in the twikga books portfolio…
