Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This thick book is worth its weight in water if you're planning to venture to Africa's southern region ... as 30 percent of all visitors to Africa do. Whether you want to hike through South Africa's stunning Drakensberg Mountains or the rolling hills of Malawi, admire Namibia's vast red sand dunes, dive on Mozambique's pristine tropical reefs, experience the majesty of Victoria Falls, or just wander the streets of Cape Town, Africa the South can take you there. More than 170 maps help you navigate your adventure around Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The book offers extensive coverage of world-renowned wildlife reserves, comprehensive food, lodging and activity recommendations, a language section, and an illustrated guide to the region's birds and animals--including lifesaving tips on how to avoid undesirable encounters with wild animals:
"Lion, though rarely interested in humans, have been known to attack on occasion. If you're camping out in the bush, be sure to zip your tent up completely and if you hear a large animal outside, lie still even if it brushes against the tent. Lions don't really know what to make of tents and normally leave them alone. If you encounter a lion while walking in the bush, try to avoid an adrenaline rush; whatever you do, don't turn and run. If you respond like a prey species, the lion could react accordingly."
