Oh, to go on safari in Africa. Nolting can't assure you vacation time or airfare, but he's done his part with the definitive guide to viewing wildlife in Africa. He covers driving, flying and walking safaris, elephant-back, balloon, and canoe safaris, photo safaris, game drives, and bird-watching safaris. He tells where to see elephants and when the tree leaves won't obscure your view. Helpful even if only to flesh out your safari daydreams, it's an impressively straightforward, informational, necessary item to choose, prepare, and actually go on safari.

From Library Journal
This is a revised and expanded edition of the author's excellent African Safari: The Complete Guide to 10 Top Game Viewing Countries (LJ 7/87). Four additional countries treated as "additional destinations" in the first edition now have their own sections, and there are separate indexes for animals and birds. Photos have been added, and there are numerous maps and tables with a wealth of handy information, including a chart on "What Is Best Seen Where." As both the state of the wildlife and the political conditions of the region are subject to frequent change, this updated edition should be welcomed by libraries serving travelers who are considering African destinations.
