Publisher's Synopsis
Designed as a starting point for first-time visitors wanting to make the most of a safari or vacation to eastern and southern Africa, this tightly-focused book concentrates on the region's main highlights, which include the spectacular mile-wide Victoria Falls on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the wildebeest migration between Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and the Maasai Mara in neighboring Kenya, tracking mountain gorillas in the misty highlands of Rwanda and Uganda, a long and idyllic Indian Ocean coastline whose crown jewel is the Spice Island of Zanzibar, and the world's tallest freestanding mountain in the form of snow-capped Kilimanjaro. Illustrated by color photographs, the concise text provides an authoritative introduction to Africa's major safari destinations, i.e. Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and the wildlife you're likely to see there. Also included are brief overviews of the best and most popular add-on beach and gorilla- tracking destinations: Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, Mozambique, Eswatini (Swaziland), Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles.All proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit Wildlife Superheroes, a global nonprofit organization that mobilizes our next generation - kids under the age of 18 - to make a tangible, meaningful, and lasting impact on our most valuable shared asset: Mother Earth and all her beings.
