Nolting can't assure you vacation time or airfare, but he's done his part with the definitive guide to viewing wildlife in Africa. He covers driving, flying and walking safaris, elephant-back, balloon, and canoe safaris, photo safaris, game drives, and bird-watching safaris. He tells where to see elephants and when the tree leaves won't obscure your view. Helpful even if only to flesh out your safari daydreams, it's an impressively straightforward, informational, necessary item to choose, prepare, and actually go on safari. Product Description: Starting from scratch, Africa's Top Wildlife Countries answers such questions as: What safari options are available? What countries offer the kind of experience I am seeking? When is the best time to go? Covering Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Burundi, Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Rwanda, Swaziland, Mauritius, and the Seychelles Islands, this is a complete guide for anyone planning a trip to Africa. Its user-friendly format makes planning a safari easy by highlighting and comparing wildlife reserves, depicting and describing types of accommodations and other major attractions. Jam-packed with information essential for the successful safari, this edition has been completely revised, and includes over 50 maps detailing countries and major wildlife reserves (including a new two-page Eco-Map depicting the primary vegetation zones, country, and park locations), 32 pages of color photographs, more than 125 black and white photos, 11 charts, and numerous illustrations. "A must for all safari goers traveling in any part of Africa." -- R. Michael Wright, President, African Wildlife Foundation Average Rating:
 Rating:  - book reviewGreat book. Only resource that we could find that covered all of Africa for determining where and when to go on safari in Africa. If you are trying to determine what country and the best time to go look no further than this book. Rating:  - A must read for those going to AfricaA good review of the various wildlife camps, lodges in Africa as well as highlights of each of the major National Parks and Game Reserves. It included quite reliable descriptions of camps based upon the many we visited. It is a much better purchase than similar books we looked at in terms of useful information. Rating: - Useful when planning a packaged tourWe found this book helpful to plan our luxury independent travel African safari trip for four. Although we would have liked more practical information on Internet sites and hotels, it had plenty of information on weather, facilities, shopping suggestions and maps for most of the game viewing countries. The Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa sections were the largest. Rating: - Dreaming of Romantic Safaris in Africa"One morning I just woke up and realized I wanted to travel around the world. And I decided, if I don't go, I'll always regret it, and if I don't go now, I never will." ~Mark Nolting After traveling all over the world, Mark Nolting decided to return to Africa and travel from Cairo to Cape Town.

Inside the back cover, you can check the frequency of animal viewing by animal type, location and month. On page 43, you can see what types of ... Read More |
