Nice photos and descriptions of animals.A good photography primer as well - I got a new camera before a recent trip to get better zoom capability.Also a discussion about etiquette while on safari. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Handy Take-along Safari Book *by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2012* I have many of the more detailed animal books and guides, but because of their size and weight leave them at home as reference material. This book, owing to both its compact size and low weight, is ideal as a practical take-along guide. It's likely to contain just about everything you'll see on safari. Animals are pictured and, alongside, text is given describing the animal. Perfect for my purposes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Comparison of 3 Africa wildlife books *by B***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016* I bought three South Africa wildlife books at the same time. What I like about “Wildlife of Southern Africa” is its size - it easily fits in a pants pocket and will be great in the field. Secondly, it includes both birds and mammals, plus a variety of other animals. I am sure it is not comprehensive, but may be good enough for a few weeks in South Africa. It includes good color photographs which is not my preference, at least for birds as I find drawings much more informative. What I don't like is its tight binding which makes it spring shut too easily.I find “Birds of Southern Africa” to be a much better bird book, nicely illustrated (my preference over photos), great range maps, and plenty of identification details. It is definitely my choice as a bird reference book, though I may not carry it in the field unless I put it in a backpack. It will be a good reference book for identifying my photos when I have time away from the field.I also purchased “National Audubon Society Field Guide to African Wildlife” for two reasons: 1. I always like the NAS book series and already own almost the complete set, and 2. I know one of the authors. An advantage or a disadvantage depending on your point of view is that it covers all of Africa. If I only visit South Africa, the book contains too many species that I will not see. On the other hand, it is a good reference for the whole continent. I like the flexible binding on the NAS books, photos are good, but again my preference is for drawings when it comes to birds. The book covers 850 species which I’m sure is far short of being comprehensive. Since I’m always concerned about baggage weight limits when traveling by air, this one of the three is the most likely I’ll keep at home. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8542587-wildlife-of-southern-africa-princeton-pocket-guides](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/8542587-wildlife-of-southern-africa-princeton-pocket-guides) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
