Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir. Most wildlife guides focus on single groups of animals, but here in Mike Unwin's informative and reader-friendly handbook we have a wide selection of insects, birds and mammals in one handy volume. Excellent photography and a well-written text covering identification as well as behavioral insights make for yet another outstanding guide in the "Bradt" series.
For visitors and wildlife lovers not wanting to lug an entire reference library on safari, this welcome addition to "African Wildlife" guides is the essential companion.
