South Africa has a unique set of characteristics that make walking safaris in big game areas one of the safest and most rewarding outdoor experiences: a huge expanse of protected habitat richly populated with wildlife; excellent tourism facilities; a favourable climate; and expertly trained trail guides. Seasoned hikers, Hlengiwe Magagula and Denis Costello describe more than 50 guided walks across 22 parks and reserves in South Africa – from short dawn and dusk walks and multi-day outings from a base camp to backpacking trails that span several days. Facilities range from ultra-luxurious to ‘wild camping’, either in tents or under the stars. Also included is a series of first-hand accounts that vividly illustrate the magical experience of exploring the bush on foot. An advisory section gives a rundown of when to go, what to pack, what to wear, and the dos and don’ts of walking in areas with big game. Both a practical guide to walking in the wild and a lodestar to the wonders and restorative powers of the natural world.

After relocating into the heart of northern Tanzania for their careers, four close friends participate in never-ending, suspenseful, trapdoor assignments otherwise known in their line of work as wildlife conservation and archaeology. But it's not until one of the group's friends presented challenges like no other to their lives during the highly unimaginable, determined work they happened to love. How would each character react to their fellow coworkers if they locked horns with someone in their seemingly close-knit group who never stopped being impossible? It would seem that no matter what the group had done, they never seemed to get it right for that particular person. And the fact of the matter is, it's a recurring matter throughout nearly each day spent between one another while enjoying their work interest. What everybody in the group, save that special someone, must ask themselves is, How long should they put up with that special someone and deal with the difficulty? To make matters worse, one of the other characters refuses to hear the difficult character out, which leaves a stain on their relationships. Complications only arise as a criminal led the charge in parts of Tanzania to involve them in tracking him and his men in poaching and archaeology. And to top it all off, the difficult character had the canny ability to be a step forward through the door and to take the lead with any obstacle that heads their way. But by leaving each of the close acquaintances far more tightly knit together than they were before in the middle of prevalent danger, their struggles came as a surprise, realizing how they really didn't see each other the right way, all based on a story of suspenseful adventure that only raised the tenacity of keeping the group alarmed on their toes.

China has now taken Great Britain's place as Africa's third largest business partner. Where others only see chaos, the Chinese see opportunities. With no colonial past and no political preconditions, China is bringing investment and needed infrastructure to a continent that has been largely ignored by Western companies or nations. Traveling from Beijing to Khartoum, Algiers to Brazzaville, the authors tell the story of China's economic ventures in Africa. What they find is tantamount to a geopolitical earthquake: The possibility that China will help Africa direct its own fate and finally bring light to the so-called "dark continent," making it a force to be reckoned with internationally.

Fascinated by the call of the wild and much influenced by Frederick Courtney Selous, acknowledged as the African hunter of his day, Theodore Roosevelt finally arranged to take a long safari holiday in East Africa with his son Kermit. The collection of birds and mammals made by the Roosevelt's during this expedition, was presented to the American Museum of Natural History in New York and in Washington. This account of the African veld and of African hunting is written by a man with the experienced eye of a hunter, but one nevertheless, that had caught its first and what was to prove its only glimpse of Africa. The detail, perhaps as a consequence, comes over in a refreshing light and with a charm that is very different to other similar guides.
