The best safari guidebook to bring with you on your holiday!!

Safari Companion

Safari Companion is a good reference book for any first timers or frequent safari visitors to Africa. It is a very detailed book that gives you all the basic information on how to better observe the animals and how to understand the different characteristics of each species.

It is a great read before your safari and even more interesting whilst you are on your holiday. After a game drive out in the bush, this is one book you look forward to reading back in your lodge. It will give you a clearer insight on the context and meaning of animal’s behaviour that you saw during the day. You will understand what it means when an impala is away from the other herds or be able to decipher and put exact meaning over the sound of a cheetah’s cry. There are invaluable information on the animal’s traits, how they move, how they communicate, response to danger and many more that you will absolutely enjoy discovering.

It does not have all the fancy pictures of mammals and it is quite a big book to bring with you considering the luggage restrictions imposed by the light aircrafts, but it is definitely a good companion and worth all the effort carrying.

You will be amazed on how all these new found knowledge brings all the excitement and the appreciation to another level.

Happy reading!
