5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting summary of this complex African ecosystem., August 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Kruger National Park: Wonders of an African Eden (Hardcover)

The pictures, the dialog, and the maps leave one with a haunting awareness of the complexity of natural systems. Animals, plants, and geology weave together into a balance that is always changeing.

Poorly laid out souvenir book. Nigel Dennis's pictures are fine, but the captions are badly positioned. The maps are few and devoid of detail. The biggest problem is the text, which is largely a geology treatise on the park...fine for the Grand Canyon, or Purnululu, but not Kruger, where the animals are the highlight. Very little on animal/animal interaction, the phenomenal bird life, fascinating riverine environments, etc. Save your money...there's more and better organized information in the pamphlet you get when you pay your entry fee to the park.
