Format:Taschenbuch
Ein handliches Buch mit den wichtigsten Vogel- und Säugetierarten der Länder Uganda, Kenia und Tansania (insgesamt 475), das in jede Reisetasche passt.
Neben der Verhaltensbeschreibung der Tiere findet der Leser Farbfotos zur einfachen Identifizierung der Spezies. Ein kurzes Beitrag zur optimalen Auswahl der fotografischen Ausrüstung und Tipps und Tricks zu besseren Aufnahme von Wildtieren runden den Führer ab.
Ein Muss für jeden Afrikareisenden, der die Nationalparks Ostafrikas besuchen will. Das Buch ersetzt jedoch keinen Vogelführer! Hier sei auf "Birds of Africa south of the Sahara" von Peter Ryan verwiesen, der alleine 2.100 Vogelarten ausweist.

A First Rate Guide to all the Wildlife of E. Africa
1. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I've just returned from safari in Tanzania, where this guide proved extremely helpful. It's small and lightweight -- check out its dimensions and weight in comparison to others. Yet it seems indestructable after several weeks of heavy use, high humidity and occasional rains.
Nearly everything I wanted to identify could be found here: mammals and birds, not to mention reptiles, turtles and some trees. The index was simple for a novice to use (omitting most of the Latin names). The pictures and descriptions then helped make identifications fairly easy.
There are many guides available. Those who saw my Withers and Hosking, however, were quick to approve of its ease of use.

Very helpful and handy on Safari
23. Februar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The Wildlife of East Africa was a most valuable asset to me while on Safari in Northern Tanzania. I was able to easily locate, identify, and review the bird and animal sightings and identify by name those that were not familiar to me. I was the envy of the rest of my group. No one else had a handbook that was quite as handy in information and size.

Excellent quality photographs. If you are going to Africa, you need to know how to identify animals other than lions and zebras. This book is a goldmine.
