Africa's Top Wildlife Countries: Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Also includin Paperback – July 31, 2012

If you wanna know the best places and times to see each animal in Africa, then this is for you!

The book does an excellent job of describing the places and countries to go for wildlife viewing in Africa. It also provides categories of available lodging with basic descriptions of activities available (ie night safaris, safari walks, etc.). Maps show where the lodges and camps are located in and near the various national parks, and many of the lodges have photos of the facility in the book. A safari company organized our trip, but the book enabled us to ask about other locations, things to do, and places to go. The book was invaluable for for our planning, and will be taken on the trip.

Bought this for background to prepare for my African safaris. This covered much of the area I was traveling and it gives a great starting point for planning and insight. Beautiful pictures. Although this book was used, it was "brand new" and appreciate the seller's description. My only issue with the book is that due to its size/weight, it is too big to take on safari, so you need a smaller safari guide for the floral/fauna and park guides.

I'll try and come back to post a more thorough review at a late point. Just wanted to get the 5 stars up because this book is excellent. Very detailed. Even the continent on the front is 3d embossed! Nice book, TONS of valuable info. I just bought about a dozen books for a safari Im planning on taking and this book may be the best of them.

Each country was covered in detail, plus the charts about when to go/what to see/what is needed where were invaluable.

Extremely informative in helping us to plan our trip to South Africa.It helped us come up with our itinerary. We're also using the Africa Adventure Company, owned by the writer of this book, to help us every step of the way especially for our Safari and Capetown visits!

There may indeed be helpful information in this book, but the choppy, ill-organized layout rife with grammatical errors was frustrating to read. Worse, the author operates a travel agency specializing in African travel and uses this book to advertise his services every few pages. The blatant solicitation makes me wonder how much - if any - of his information is unbiased.

This book was recommended by my cousin and couldn't wait to receive it. It arrived earlier than I expected and now I can ow read it and hope that it will help us to choice where and what we want to d on our Safari
