This review is from: Insight Guides East African Wildlife (Insight Guide East African Wildlife) (Paperback)
WE have been to Africa several times and this is by far the best book to have. It is so complete in the descriptions of the animals etc. We have given it as gifts to people that are going. If you are planning a safari this book is a must.
