    TOO MANY BIRDS

    This is a really good book, but there is to many birds and not enough reptiles, and insects. I like birds, and I'm sure there are a lot of birds in Africa, but thats not all there is.

    Great guide on safari.

    Our tour guide on our safari kept this book with our group at all times. When we returned home, we decided it's a 'must have' to remember all of the animals that we took photos of while on the trip. Great reference book with accurate color pictures. Take with you if you are traveling to Africa to see the animals!

    A Wildlife Safari must

    If you plan on going to Africa on Safari, this book is a god send. You will have a guide telling you what animal is what but, It's nice to have the book along side you to get a close up look at the beauty of the species. There are color pictures of each animal and a guide to where there range is, foods they eat and interesting facts about each animal.

    A safari must!

    Everyone on our group trip to Kenya had this guide as their constant companion each day as we went out on safari. We made notes beside each animal and bird as we spotted them of when and where. This is a wonderful piece of memorabilia from our trip now.
