A book that entertains and educates both young and old about the fragile ecological balance of Africa’s flora and fauna. It offers advice on how to preserve nature reserves and provides a guide on how to survive in the savannah. All this plus a wealth of information on wild animals.

Monkeys, birds, large mammals or tiny insects – you will soon know all their secrets! Their social life, eating habits, how they reproduce, hunting grounds, predators, tracks and camouflage – all will be revealed. The reader will also be treated to a host of astonishing but true anecdotes.

Young adventurers will get lots of useful advice laced with plenty of humour: how to make a paw print mould, how to pack your backpack, how to track an animal, how to find your way without a compass, how to build a hut, how to escape from a lion, a hippo or a crocodile…

Youngsters will also find out all about topical issues such as poaching and threatened, vulnerable, and critically endangered species.
