Product Features

1. Mammals of Southern Africa and their Tracks & Signs: Tracking is a much-loved, yet difficult, subject that attracts at least some of the attention of almost every bush-goer who ventures into the wild places of southern Africa. The ability to accurately read difficult, partial or little-seen signs left in the soil or sand is rare and largely the domain of professionals. However, by making use of a comprehensive guide, anyone who applies him- or herself can begin to decipher these natural hieroglyphs etched on the ground. In this volume, Louis Liebenberg's highly accurate sketches of animal tracks, showing all the details one would find in a perfect example of the spoor, are combined with a wide selection of extremely varied photographs that explain the difficult truth of the matter, and represent what you are most likely to actually see in the many different substrates where the animals walk. This field guide to mammal tracks and signs also serves as an ID guide to the mammals of southern Africa as full-colour photographs of each animal are included.

2. Southern African Wildlife - A Visitor's Guide: The wildlife of southern Africa is the major attraction for visitors to this popular region. This highly focused guide encompasses all the best wildlife regions south of the Zambezi and Kunene rivers: Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, southern Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Giving an overview of each of the diverse habitats of the region, it provides a colourful introduction to the mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates of the area, covering all major animal groups and their behavioural characteristics. Offering a country-by-country summary of key wildlife sites, the guide suggests how to make the most of a safari, from planning your trip to tracks and signs and photography tips. Designed both as a souvenir and a practical guide, the book should appeal to the field naturalist and the first-time safari visitor alike.

3. Insider's Guide: Top Wildlife Photography Spots in South Africa: Insider's guide is a field guide that shows readers the best places to photograph wildlife in South Africa. Much of the information regarding good wildlife photography is localised or knowledge specific to a certain area. This title allows people to gain insight as to where the best places are to photograph elephants in the Kruger Park, where you can easily find leopards, what time the sand grouse drink in the morning and a better place than Boulders Beach to photograph penguins. With stunning photography coupled with simple easy-to-read chapters, Insider's guide is a gem for nature enthusiasts.
