SOUTHERN AFRICAN WILDLIFE

BY MIKE UNWIN (BRADT GUIDES)

Longstanding Travel Africa contributor Mike Unwin brings his easy writing style and extensive wildlife knowledge to this essential guide for anyone travelling to southern Africa. Fully updated and expanded, the third edition of this Bradt travel-cum-field guide is not only a fascinating read but a mine of information about the sheer abundance and variety of wildlife that calls this part of Africa home.
