This new, thoroughly revised edition of Bradt's Southern Africa Wildlife
guide provides an overview of all southern African wildlife - not only
'big game' and other large mammals, but also birds, reptiles, amphibians
and invertebrates. Excellent for independent travelers, it is reliable
as a standalone guide combining both wildlife and visitor information,
and is also a perfect complement to traditional field guides. Countries
covered include Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa,
Eswatini and Zimbabwe, with Malawi and Zambia both added to this new
edition. Colour photographs illustrate all key species and the engaging
text extends beyond basic identification features to illuminate the
natural history and ecology of the wildlife that visitors will
encounter. Text has been updated throughout to reflect the latest
conservation initiatives and wildlife population figures. Included are a
practical guide to tracks and signs, plus top tips for optimising your
wildlife experience, as well as a 'where to go' overview which outlines
the key wildlife attractions of each country and, together with a
seasonal highlights calendar, enables visitors to plan a safari that
suits their interests.
