 African Safari Journal January 14, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
An absolute must if you're planning a photo safari to any of the African game parks and reserves. It supplements the guide's own information plus serves to a chronicle and accurately annotate of all of the photos that you've captured.
I used it because it was easy January 10, 2007

Took 6 hrs of video and 5,000 digicam images. Time passes so fast and remembering what I shot, when, where and what the guide or ranger said of particular interest was always going to stay in my mind .... not.
This little book was well laid out and easy to use. So I used it. At end of day I would jot notes, and boy have I forgotten so much detail!
With a 30lb luggage restriction on one flight, this still went with me, and it was a good decision.
Nifty! November 4, 2006

I recommend this small paperback for every safari traveler! Tour organizers should include this with the plane tickets. I used the maps of the parks before my trip to South Africa and Botswana.The packing lists were helpful.While there I enjoyed checking off the list of animals and plants in the back of the book. Also fun was that the guides talked by radio to each other about the location of animals in the Tswana language. We soon broke the code by using the language guide included in the book.It is a must-have. I learned about it on Amazon.... So glad I brought it along.It is very well thought out.
Safari Essential August 27, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This guide book was a gift to me as I prepared for my first safari. I debated whether to bring it because of the extreme weight limit on luggage. However, it was as essential as my camera and binoculars.
This is an extremely comprehensive journal that helps prepare for the trip as well as a favorite companion on safari. I could make journal entries, mark the location of our camps on the included maps, record animal sightings, refer to the various language pages and keep track of short airline flights to out of the way dirt airstrips. Even the guides used the animal reference section on occasion.
The section Getting Ready...is invaluable and matches the information sent by our tour company. This guide was obviously prepared by a VERY knowledgeable traveler.
Several of our travel group have purchased this guide AFTER returning home so they can record the details of travel to this remarkable continent.
This guide covers many areas in Africa so that it is appropriate for all safari locations.
I would award it more than five stars, if possible.
Excellent buy August 19, 2006
I purchased this book. I was so impressed with this book that I told the other people going to Africa with us about it. A number of them have purchased this book, also. It has everything in it to make to record your safari. It is packed with information. It includes pages for addresses, checklists for packing, itineraries, animal identification, and of course, plenty of pages for journalling.
