This indispensable guide offers all the information you need to get the
most out of wildlife watching in East Africa. Accessible and beautifully
illustrated, this revised second edition of Bradt's much praised guide
to East African Wildlife will appeal to both the first-time visitor and
to the serious naturalist seeking a compact volume to carry around.
Written by Africa expert Philip Briggs, this guide provides a colourful
overview of the region's variety of large animals together with
information on their habits and habitats. The book also provides an
excellent introduction to the region's less heralded variety of smaller
creatures including 1,500 bird species and butterflies. It also makes a
great souvenir. The wildlife of east Africa is the major visitor
attraction of this region, thanks to the legendary game reserves of
Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. 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.
