Featuring all-new spoor drawings, some 200 new photographs and an extra 35 species, this fully revised and updated edition of the ever-popular Tracker Manualis packed with the latest on the art of tracking. Based on information developed by some of southern Africa’s best traditional trackers, Tracker Manual gives even more guidance on how to identify the spoor of some 190 animal species. Individual chapters cover carnivores, large mammals, antelopes, small mammals, primates, hares and rodents, amphibians and reptiles, birds and insects.

Alex van den Heever grew up on a farm, and after studying Marketing and Business Management, he joined Londolozi Game Reserve as a game ranger. He dedicated much of his 13 years there to learning the ancient art of tracking, and has tracked many of the world’s big cats, as well as grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park. In 2010, with the help of Mrs Gaynor Rupert (Chairperson of the SA College for Tourism in Graaff- Reinet), he established the Tracker Academy, which is a non-profit organisation for training disadvantaged rural people in the traditional skills of wildlife tracking, and ensuring that indigenous knowledge of tracking animals in the wild could be secured.
