5.0 out of 5 stars Great Safari Companion Book!, June 29, 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, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A first-rate, extremely useful, "user friendly" resource, September 18, 2003
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: African Safari Journal (Paperback)
African Safari Journal is an excellent companion to appreciate and record the once-in-a-lifetime experiences offered by an exciting African safari as it combines a wildlife/botany guide; a simple language phrase book with phonetics in Swahili, Shona, Tswana, Zulu, and French; a trip organizer; a map directory; a journal for writing personal thoughts and observations, and so much more. A first-rate, extremely useful, "user friendly" resource, consulting guide, and souvenir for lasting memories, African Safari Journal is enthusiastically recommended for anyone planning a trip to the Dark Continent!
