5.0 out of 5 stars Great Safari Companion Book!, June 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: African Safari Journal (Paperback)
I think this journal is innovative and very useful. Not only does it provide a myriad of information about the main safari destinations in Eastern, Central & Southern Africa, but it also has blank pages for journal entries, a safari itinerary, film log, shopping list & addresses. It has a great packing list, metric & temperature conversions, rainfall/temperature charts in various African cities and a southern hemisphere constellation map - all of which I use to gather separately before going on safari. Along with general travel information, it contains basic maps of the main safari countries and national reserves in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, DROC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Bostwana, Namibia & South Africa. I also like the mammal guide, mammal checklist and phrase guides. I bought one for myself as I am going back to East Africa this year and another as a gift for a friend who is going to Southern Africa next month.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one book to have for the rookie on safari, December 6, 2002
By 
Jack Warner (Littleton, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: African Safari Journal (Paperback)
My wife and I went on our first safari to Northern Tanzania National Parks with a very experienced leader (over 100 safaries). He recommended this book and that we keep a journal--something I have not done in 35 years. HE WAS RIGHT! We carried this book with us on every game drive and refered to it often. At camp we entered journal entries. These proved very valuable after our return to organize and present video and photos. This book has almost everything you want to look up. In addition the packing checklists were 100% right on for our experience.

If you take only one book on safari, I strongly recommend this one. If you can take more, I recommend Estes's Safari Companion and a good field guide with color pictures like the Audubon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you're only going to bring one book, September 6, 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: African Safari Journal (Paperback)
On our trip to Kenya & Tanzania, we brought 3 books:
1. Lonely Planet East Africa
2. National Audubon Society Field Guide to African Wildlife
3. and the African Safari Journal.

A fourth book - The Safari Companion: A Guide to Watching African Mammals Including Hoofed Mammals, Carnivores, and Primates - was left at home as we wanted to limit the size of our luggage. I found this book fascinating as it discusses behavior as well as provide basic information about the animals. We just couldn't justify the extra weight.

Lonely Planet East Africa is essential in that it gives information not only about safaris, but also about the various countries and cities that we visited. We could not have functioned without this travel guide.

The National Audubon Guide was good in that we referred to it during and after the game drives to read about the animals that we found. The paper quality was very nice and the photos were the best out of our small collection.

The safari journal was used purely as a journal, that is, we could have probably bought a notepad to do the same job. That's not to say that it isn't useful. It's just that the information contained therein was covered in detail by the other books and we never had a need to refer to the journal. However, if you are traveling ultra-light and you only had room for one safari book, this might be the best solution as it is a rudimentary travel guide, basic animal reference, and journal all in one.
