Africa's great wild places - Chris Stuart

Africa is the world's widest continent. From the desert wildernesses to the remaining rainforests, Africa offers a diversity of wild places unlike any other continent. In this book, the authors use their knowledge of the unexplored surfaces of Africa in an attempt to enchant the reader. From the great and famous parks of the Serengeti to the little known parks of western Tanzania and the soda lakes of the Great Rift Valley, this book aims to fascinate the reader with its descriptions of the game reserves and wild places of East, West, Central and Southern Africa.;The book aims to go beyond a pictoral account, and seeks to present an honest discussion of the merits and problems of each area, including practical information for travellers. Each chapter contains a detailed map of the area discussed, a species list of the animals, birds, reptiles and plants most likely to be seen and an information box with practical information such as access routes, opening times, campsites and so on.
