Used this for years on safari, easy to read with good photos for identification. Loads of interesting facts and figures. Loved finding the three striped mice as much as lions!

photo identification made easy
18 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
This is truly an excellent book,a joy to look at,packed with lots of information.However it is not really a book suitable to be taken in the field,the authors smaller book mammals of southern,central and eastern africa would be a better book to take into the field.The authors really know the animals and their passion for the subject comes out in their writing.

Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa
30 May 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is nicely organized. The animals are separated into their prospective families. This is especially helpful for the scientific minded reader. While on safari if I see an animal that is most likely a carnivore, I will know exactly where to look it up.
The pictures are very clear and the description focuses on the distinguishing characters of each species. The descriptions are very logical and easy to follow... i.e. the blaze on the nose of this antelope is continuous therefore, it is species A, where the blaze on the nose of the next antelope (which looks just like species A) is not continuous, therefore it is species B.

Mammals of Southern Africa
1 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent overview of the animals of southern Africa. Each animal had a fantastic descriptive photograph which showed the distinguishing features of the animal. Each mammal identified had a written description outlining specific identification and imformation areas. This was most helpful as it standardised the availability of sought information.
Anyone travelling to South Africa - this reference book is a must, especially if you are interested in these unique and magnificient creatures.
