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.

looks fine
SA part of Kgalagadi well described. Far too little content for Mabuesehube side.
What an amazing book to show our American visitor who has never been to Africa. At his request, the only place he wanted to visit on his trip was the KNP. We have spent 3 days in the Park & found it most helpful. There is also lots of information about the park which our guest really enjoyed reading about. He will take it back with him to Alabama, to share with his family, friends & work colleagues.
Bought this for my husband to read while we were staying at Pafuri last week. He is really loving it - just the perfect read for a relaxed bush break.
