Wildlife of Southern Africa: A field guide to the animals and plants of the region

Excellent reference I used this guide daily on my recent multiple photo safaris to Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Perfect guide to bring for safari/bush hikes. I used it every day! Pics, distribution and descriptions included which was super helpful - and included a lot of different species ranging from plants to insects to mammals and fish.

Appreciate having a guide like this and hope to put it to good use! Having over 2,000 species is a nice collection to represent commonly encountered species. Also good to have distribution maps and appreciate seeing specific flowering months for the wildflowers.

Loved the book

It's a really great book. HOWEVER, I was very mistaken thinking Zambia is Southern Africa when it's central. But luckily, it borders Zimbabwe so that helped me out a little bit during my trip to Zambia. I would recommend this book if you are indeed going to SOUTHERN Africa.

I have used this book as a reference. I watch Safari Live on YouTube. When they identify a type of Wildlife during the show, I check it off in the book. I use the book to learn more about the creatures of our world.

A great resource in detail of animal life in South Africa.

If you just want to go through page by page then maybe the Kindle version would work for you. This book has a lot of species and no search function. "The index that appeared in the print version of this title was intentionally removed from the eBook. Please use the search function on your eReading device to search for species of interest. For your reference, the species that appear in the print index are listed below." I find search on Kindles very clunky, and unless you know exactly the name of the organism you are looking for, and its correct spelling, it is VERY hard to find what you are looking for. The print version might be good, but I can't carry a lot on my trip to South Africa.
