There is no single publication available that compiles all of the truly important information one needs to prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa like Africas Top Wildlife Countries. As someone who has been privileged to travel to that magnificent continent over 40 times, I can say without hesitation that this book is an invaluable guide to anyone planning to experience the infinite beauty and wonder of this incredible destination. Dont go on safari without reading this book first!

Weve reached a time when safaris need to be equal parts discovery and enjoyment, wonder and excitement but also responsible and contributing to conservation, communities and making the planet better, or we will lose the very resource tourism depends on. Choosing just the right blend is difficult. Thankfully you have a great guide in the form of Marks book. He understands quality and the excitement of Africa visited for the first time or once again. It is after all the place that philosophers and poets have gone to find inspiration.
