The Wildlife of Southern Africa

The Wildlife of Southern Africa is the first field guide to combine the animals and plants of the region in one easy-to-use volume. This is the ideal companion for all who venture into the outdoors--visitors to game parks, hikers, holiday-makers, birders, game viewers and gardeners.

The Wildlife of Southern Africa embraces over 2 000 carefully selected plants and animals, large and small, that are likely to be encountered during a visit to any part of the region. It is ideal for all nature lovers, with over 1 200 species illustrated and many more identifiable from the text by reference to similar species.

Each chapter has been written by a leading expert in the field, most of whom have published major works in their own right.
