 Audubon Guide to African Wildlife January 4, 2007

Excellent book with awesome color pictures and good concise narrative on each species and subspecies. It was very easy to identify all the various animals (large and small) and birds when on safari in Tanzania. Highly recommend .

This book gives an excellent overview of the african animals (mainly southern and eastern africa, but covers animals from the entire continent). The mammal and bird sections are the strongest and most complete. There is also sufficent information on crocodiles, and very little on insects.
It's a great book to take on safari because it contains all the essential information that you would want: good descriptions of the most important animals, descriptions of major ecosystems, and descriptions of each african nation and what wildlife is available in each. There are many good color photographs for each animal and each of the ecosystems covered.
If you want one good wildlife guide to take to Africa, this should be it.

I carried this guide on 20 wildlife rides in South Africa and Botswana. It is the right size, durable and quick to reference. The photos are clear and colorful. It was often handed around the vehicle as we learned more about the amazing creatures we were viewing.
It is a must have.
The best book our African guides have seen! September 8, 2006

We have used the Field Guide to African Wildlife on three safaris to Southern and Eastern Africa. This guide is so wonderful (especially the photos) that on two of these trips, our guides (in Rwanda and Namibia) have been so fascinated with it that we have given it to them at the end of our safari. This will be the third copy of the book I have bought!
Buy this book if you're only buying one! August 7, 2006

We received the Field Guide the day before we departed for a photo safari to Tanzania and Kenya. It proved to be an invaluable quick reference guide to wildlife we saw during the day, as well as an encyclopedic work on each species, including countries where they're found, coloration, mating habits, foods, and myriad other details. You can take a cursury view of an animal or a deep dive into each one. I recommend spending a little time learning the cross-referencing system to get the most out of the book. Don't wait to buy it in Africa, as it costs 3x as much there!
