Looking at animals and the landscape from a vehicle is like watching the movie; walking in the bush is reading the book.
Susie Cazenove, with her wealth of safari experience in East and southern Africa, records and shares her love of Africa through a collection of colourful biographies of some of Africas foremost professional guides. Interspersed with often amusing, and often hair-raising, anecdotes of life in the bush, she paints a vivid picture of the passion and dedication of this fiercely independent breed. This presentation, beautifully illustrated with the authors own photography and her daughters charcoal portraits, above all, documents the rise of the safari business into the sophisticated industry that it is today. Susie paints a dramatic picture of both the scenery and the guides who walk us through it; there is no doubt that this book will inspire the armchair and itinerant traveller.
