Thank you so much I received my purchase promptly and giving this beautiful book to my husband as a gift for his 70th who farmed in the Kalahari. We have children still farming by Askham and Noenieput. The Kalahari is our special place and nice to see how people have also discovered it's diversity and beauty. Thank you for capturing it in this book we will share with others.

Walking wild
I'm only a third through the book but it is well written. I love the KNP and have completed some guided trails. I have also hiked trails in 8 of our 9 Provinces as well as Namibia. The chapters I have read have brought back so many memories of wonderful times, overpacking disasters and boot failures.

Kruger Birds review.
The book is small and handy for travelling along the routes of the Kruger Park. It is quite easy to find the birds that you are looking for and they can be ticked off for future reference. As the book only consists of Kruger birds it is not necessary to page a larger thick book that contains all the birds in Southern Africa.
It is pricey, but I am happy with my purchase.
