Overview

"Many great safari guides are often very detailed and written for adults, while most wildlife books for children only talk about well-known animals such as elephants, giraffes and lions. This book is something in between - while it covers all mammals that can be found in East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi), plus a few iconic reptiles and birds, it is meant to be easy to read and does not require a degree in zoology to understand... after all, we can only protect what we understand. This book is written for children, teenagers and adults of all ages and a perfect introduction to the wildlife of East Africa - it is equally suitable to be read at home while dreaming of Africa, or, for the lucky ones, to be used as a guide book on a safari. A portion of the proceeds of this book support conservation education programmes by https: //www.africanpeoplewildlife.org/ in Tanzania Hundreds of colour photos, illustrations and drawings of every mammal found in East Africa A section covering common reptiles and birds in East Africa ""Show-off-words"" section, explaining important terms Swahili translation of every animal name Distribution maps for all animals"
