 A must read for anyone visiting anywhere in Africa September 26, 1997
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Excellent insight into the social systems of animals -- which are not so far removed from our own. A must read for those doing any type of safari or viewing of animals and people in Africa. Writing style is easy, their adventure is interesting and the book helps transport you into the wild.
A fascinating account by two inspiring people February 26, 1997

This book has been out for many years, but I just finally got around to reading it. It holds a well-deserved place on the shelf of classic nature writing. Like this book's sequel, Eye of the Elephant (which I read several years ago), the Owens have written an incredible account of their experiences studying wildlife in Africa. Cry of the Kalahari is the story of their seven years in the Kalahari desert, living among the lions, hyenas, jackals, and myriad of other creatures that share this doomed habitat. The Owens' dedication and hard work are truly amazing and their insights into the lives of these animals are fascinating. As the authors write in their foreward to the book, it is not intended to be a authoritative scientific account of the Kalahari ecosystem, but a layman's introduction to the animals of this unique place on earth. For readers who enjoy nature writing, this should be on one's list of must-read books
