Customer Reviews

A first-rate, extremely useful, "user friendly" resource
African Safari Journal is an excellent companion to appreciate and record the once-in-a-lifetime experiences offered by an exciting African safari as it combines a wildlife/botany guide; a simple language phrase book with phonetics in Swahili, Shona, Tswana, Zulu, and French; a trip organizer; a map directory; a journal for writing personal thoughts and observations, and so much more. A first-rate, extremely useful, "user friendly" resource, consulting guide, and souvenir for lasting memories, African Safari Journal is enthusiastically recommended for anyone planning a trip to the Dark Continent!

Great gift!
I bought this for our father and wife to help them on their safari to Tanzania. They loved it! I recommend it highly!

The one book to have for the rookie on safari
My wife and I went on our first safari to Northern Tanzania National Parks with a very experienced leader (over 100 safaries). He recommended this book and that we keep a journal--something I have not done in 35 years. HE WAS RIGHT! We carried this book with us on every game drive and refered to it often. At camp we entered journal entries. These proved very valuable after our return to organize and present video and photos. This book has almost everything you want to look up. In addition the packing checklists were 100% right on for our experience.

If you take only one book on safari, I strongly recommend this one. If yhou can take more, I recommend Estes's Safari Companion and a good field guide with color pictures like the Audubon.
