5.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet Watching Wildlife: East Africa, September 5, 2005

By	J. Lindsey "traveler" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently took a wonderful trip to Africa and went on several game drives. We saw so many new animals that I didn't know existed. Two of my friends, also on the trip, had your book. This book explained about the animals and had such great pictures that were such a help in distinguishing the animals. I liked the small area map that tells where the animal is found. The organization of the book is so helpful and easy to find what you are looking for. I have read it over and over again and used it as a reference for my presentations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet Watching Wildlife: East Africa, February 5, 2004

By A Customer

Organized in 3 sections: habitats, parks, animals. The sections are well organized, easy to find what you want and easily cross-referenced. Helped us tremendously in planning where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see in East Africa. Wonderful pictures, too.
