These are just a few of the 101 jaw-dropping sightings, scrapes and encounters in this collection of extraordinary true stories from the roads, camps, picnic sites and walking trails of South Africa’s Kruger National Park, as told by the very people who experienced them. There are no game ranger tales here – each and every story happened to an ordinary Kruger visitor doing what over a million tourists do in this spectacular reserve each year. :: Over 420 Kindle pages of extraordinary, hair-raising, unusual, hilarious and jaw-dropping safari tales. :: Astonishing photographs of many of the incidents. :: All stories 100% true - and could happen to YOU! :: Find out what it is like to be stormed by a lion, attacked by an elephant, bitten by a deadly snake or chased by hyaenas. :: A thrilling read whether you're a Kruger veteran or a safari dreamer. :: Discover for yourself the wildlife magic that draws over a million tourists to this spectacular piece of Africa each year. I can't think of a better way to experience the Kruger than through these fireside stories" Andrea Weiss , founding editor of go! "Best book ever written about Kruger National Park ... Had me gasping in astonishment, laughing out loud and even shedding a few tears" Dana Atkinson , author of Traveling Africa: A Woman's Guide. Prepare to giggle in disbelief, tut in despair, and turn pages like you're clicking on cat videos" Kulula Airlines Inflight Magazine. Prepare to giggle in disbelief, tut in despair, and turn pages like you're clicking on cat videos" Kulula Airlines Inflight Magazine. "Jaw-dropping stories ... A bedside book, travel companion, dip-into, read-anywhere compilation of joyful encounters laced with terrible warnings" North Coast Courier. The idea for this collection of 101 extraordinary tales from the Kruger National Park arose purely from envy. I am, however, always flabbergasted by the tales of other visitors, recounted - with perhaps a smattering of exaggeration - in rest camps in the evenings, or shared through open car windows when I've asked, 'Seen anything interesting today?'. When I first set about collecting stories for the book four years ago, I never anticipated the sheer wealth of incredible tales, accounts and anecdotes I would receive. But each one, I hope, captures and shares a little of the wonder and the thrill we all feel when we pass through the gates, full of anticipation of what lies ahead, into the great expanse of one of Africa's greatest treasures. The criteria for selecting the stories were simple: they should all be extraordinary in one way or another; they should all take place in the Kruger National Park itself, not one of the adjoining reserves of Greater Kruger; they should only take place on any of the publicly accessible tourist roads, rest camps, picnic sites or walking trails; and importantly, they should primarily be the tales of ordinary Park visitors like you and me - not game rangers, field guides or any of the other lucky people who work and live in the Park.

"Each story was a few pages in length which made for a good pick up and put down book when there were a few minutes to spare."
"I think it would be a good book to read to older children and what a fun discussion it would bring."
"This is the perfect book to bring back memories of many a trip to the kruger national park I have taken.I had heard of some of the stories before by going on the San Parks forum but many were unfamiliar and some were unbearably sad .The tales are short so it is a great book to pick up and go back to again.It also is a must for anyone planning to visit the KNP as it helps to bring the various locales alive."
"what a lovely story, it tells us so much about life among the wild creatures of the park.,., It gave me a good idea of the Park that I am unlikely to ever see."
"The Kruger park never disappoints and this book lays claim to that."
"As a nature lover who grew up reading books on Africa by people like Osa Johnson, Armand and Michelle Denis, I cannot get enough of such stories.Thanks to a very dear friend, I was also able to visit Kruger eight years ago - a long cherished dream from my childhood."
"I have truly enjoyed reading this book of harrowing and hilarious stories about Kruger National Park."
Msomi & Me (M&M), is one of the all-time best reads of a lifetime. I was brought up in Kenya, in a time when ayoungster with a passion for wildlife could explore at will.The number of world-class photographers,film-makers and researchers that I came into contact with helped immensely toform a bond with Africa that can never be broken.My dream was to acquire a game lodge of myown, somewhere to that would let clients experience Africa in its most basicform.It took many years of diligent saving ofevery cent that came my way, but I finally managed to achieve the dream andNokuthula was born.In the years between the dream being formedand the realisation of the real thing, having qualified as an electronicsengineer, I worked in that field for a good number of years before leaving towork in the conservation field, specialising in ethology (animal behaviour inthe wild), and as a semi-professional wildlife photographer.Now semi-retired, I keep active in the wildernessand spend time writing about my experiences living in the African bush.

Find Best Price at Amazon"It is written in the first person by an author, who is dedicated to wildlife conservation and has an incredible love for wild animals of the bush. The adventures of the guests, many of whom had no knowledge of African wild life, also gave a hand in certain life threatening situations that they had experienced while touring the bush with a Land Rover led by the author and his incredible friend and helper, Msomi. This book is an excellent read especially for those readers who love wild life of all kinds and it does whet the appetite of the more adventurous to tour the African bush."
"Even though he touched on some sad events, overall, it seemed to gloss over the trials of running a safari compound."
"Brian Connell does an absolutely fantastic job of bringing the people and animals to life. I both belly laughed at Msomi and his antics and broke into tears at other times."
"You will not regret buying this book."
"It was a good read."
"What a delightful book!"
"A great read, educational and adventurous stories that bolster my respect and love of nature and indigenous cultures, but left me wondering about the usefulness of modern humans."
"Engaging book by someone really trying to make a difference in Africa."

In this gripping first-person account of adventure and survival, author Scott Wallace chronicles an expedition into the Amazon’s uncharted depths, discovering the rainforest’s secrets while moving ever closer to a possible encounter with one such tribe—the mysterious flecheiros, or “People of the Arrow,” seldom-glimpsed warriors known to repulse all intruders with showers of deadly arrows. Along the way, Wallace uncovers clues as to who the Arrow People might be, how they have managed to endure as one of the last unconquered tribes, and why so much about them must remain shrouded in mystery if they are to survive. On the one hand, The Unconquered is the account of a nightmarish three-month expedition into the Amazon jungle in 2002 led by the irascible Brazilian wilderness explorer Sydney Possuelo, a legendary defender of the region's last uncontacted Indians. Rife through with moments of danger, loneliness, and hunger, as well as the testosterone-fuelled dramas that seem peculiar to groups of men undergoing hard times together, The Unconquered makes a spellbinding tale of real-life high-adventure. In this book, Wallace, who renders memorable portraits of his fellow expeditionaries (the cook, Mauro, haunted by nightmares about monkeys who castrate him; Soldado the backwoods scout, who refuses to return home and see his aging mother) is also brutally honest about himself. Some years before Wallace met him, Possuelo, Brazil's best-known sertanista , or "agent of contact" with the Amazon's isolated indigenous people, had undergone a crisis of conscience about the destruction wrought by his life's work. As Possuelo explained it to Wallace, he wished to gather vital information about the flecheiros and to ascertain their wellbeing, but could only do so by penetrating their sanctuary on foot and by dugout canoe with a band of armed men, while at the same time seeking to avoid contact with them. During the journey itself, the inescapable Catch-22 of Possuelo's logic became more and more apparent until the moment, retold dramatically by Wallace, when the expeditionaries blundered inevitably through a flecheiro settlement, spreading panic as they went. An editor from National Geographic asked journalist Scott Wallace to join an expedition into the deepest wilds of the Amazon jungle to find the mysterious ‘People of the Arrow.'. While the experience was pretty much a nightmare, it’s a blessing for readers of Wallace's fascinating book.” — Associated Press “Echoing Amazonia’s earliest European explorers, Wallace crafts a tale that is part gripping adventure story, part window into the unexpected complexities of a developing country where uncontacted tribes stand between a resource-hungry economy and an area abounding in natural wealth.” – Indian Country Today “Rife with poachers, drug smugglers, illegal gold miners and violent tribes already acquainted with the dangers of modern life…Wallace describes the trek in vivid, if unsettling, terms.” – Maclean’s “Wallace joins the tribe of jungle-besotted literary types led by Redmond O'Hanlon and David Grann and presents a credibly incredible tale about his voyage past the edge of modernity.” – Huffington Post "A gripping tale of adventure." “While it’s hard to imagine that ‘stone-age’ tribes still persist in a world of cell phones, satellites and social media, it’s even harder to understand how difficult it is to police these isolated regions, to keep them free of outsiders who could endanger a way of life that has nearly disappeared…Wallace’s narrative is apt and penetrating.” – SEJournal.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Contrary to what you might expect, the goal of the mission wasn't to actually contact the tribes; rather, the expedition sought to identify where the tribes lived so that the Brazilian government could later track the the tribe's movements and population by air. Interspersed throughout the jungle tale is a history of the white man's contact with indigenous Amazonian tribes, a history of the department of Isolated Indians, and a history of the evolving theories on how to approach indigenous tribes. Where previously the government sought to "tame" wild Indians, the policy is now to avoid contact, since contact with the white man inevitably brings about loss of native culture and crippling epidemics of disease."
"I learned so much, saw the interesting landscape and culture through his eyes, and now feel like Sydney Possuelo and I are old friends. This is truly a must-read for all of us armchair adventurers who would not be able to endure snakes that jump out of trees, biting ants or not being able to take a hot shower for all that time."
"Some people make tremendous sacrifices for others, such as myself, to read of the primitive conditions and arduous conditions to hike into the heart of the Amazon to find undiscovered tribes."
"Possuelo's mission is to successfully cordon off civilization, preventing modern society from reaching "uncontacted" tribes living in the Amazon forest. Think about that for a minute or two: his mission is to prevent modernity from reaching people who are living behind a veil of ignorance, in what can only be described as a primitive state. The argument for protecting them is that contact with modernity (characterized by greed where the white man is the devil) introduces disease, makes the indios bravos dependent on modern contrivances, causes them to turn their backs on ancestral ways and leaves them in a state of poverty. Set aside the disease problem (it is a problem, but it's incidental, solvable with enough effort) and look at the often tragic history of these contacted tribes: they become dependent on modern contrivances, they leave their traditional ways and they are ill-adapted to succeeding in the modern world, leaving them poverty-stricken."

A hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the Botswana truism: “only food runs!” With a new introduction and new material from the author In the tradition of Bill Bryson, a new writer brings us the lively adventures and biting wit of an African safari guide. No one could make up these outrageous-but-true tales: the young woman who rejected the recommended safari-friendly khaki to wear a more “fashionable” hot pink ensemble; the lost tourist who happened to be drunk, half-naked, and a member of the British royal family; establishing a real friendship with the continent’s most vicious animal; the Japanese tourist who requested a repeat performance of Allison’s being charged by a lion so he could videotape it; and spending a crazy night in the wild after blowing a tire on a tour bus, revealing that Allison has as much good-natured scorn for himself. A hilarious chapter recounting a troubled thousand mile trek through the Kalahari Desert finds Allison trying to wave down a passing truck in the middle of the night: "I realized that the driver would have seen what looked like a very animated sage bush with pasty white hands growing from it... he'd probably go straight to a witch doctor... and ask if there was a curse on him."

If you do go, Peter's book will give you a pretty good idea of the excitement and unpredictability of trekking through the jungles of Botswana in a Range Rover or trying to return to your tent from the camp bar and lounge area late at night."
"Just finished and this is a book that will appeal to virtually everyone!"
"A book full of adventure, and simply an entertaining read."
"Love the campfire type stories and the wonderful verbal visuals."
"Beautifully and humorous,y told stories with real appreciation for natural wildlife, the people he worked with and the animals encountered."
"I felt like I was reading a term paper from a ten year old."
"This is light reading and, if you like to people watch, it is as much about how people from different cultures react to unusual situations as it is about how wild animals react to encounters with strange human beings. My wife is always coming up with something to worry about regarding animal encounters on our hikes ( grizzly bears, black bears, alligators, mountain lions, moose, have all been in striking range at one time or another)."
"Fun read especially if you have been to Africa."

The Medina -- the Old City -- of Fez is the best-preserved, medieval walled city in the world. While on vacation, Australian photojournalist Clarke and her husband were bewitched by the exotic city, deciding to return and begin a search for a riad (a large home with an inner courtyard) to renovate. Readers get to tag along while Clarke deals with Kafkaesque bureaucracy, maneuvers delicately through relationships with neighbors, contractors and construction workers, and goes back to school to improve her French.

And the prevailing attitude of workers, officials, and residents of this ancient city is best summed up by the ubiquitous phrase - "Insha'Allah", "God willing"."

I also purchased a Princeton Pocket Guide to Wildlife of East Africa by Withers and Hosking full of colored photos - mostly because of its vast listing of birds that are not in the Safari Companion."
"Tremendous amount of detailed information about many species' behaviors, relationships, biological data, etc."
"We saw lots of large mammals, but, not being able to put their behavior into a larger context, I feel (after having read this work) that I didn't appreciate our sightings as fully as I would now."
"We have a few books to read in advance of going on safari next month."
"A lot of guidebooks give you information on how to identify a species, but don't really tell you much about the animals themselves (and unfortunately most guides and drivers aren't much help either). However, Estes' book is necessary if you want to go beyond simply a photography expedition and actually learn about African mammals."
"The book added tremendously to my understanding of the situation and the complex interplay in the animals' behavior."
"Based on others reviews I chose the full colour photo guide by Withers and this one; the Estes. When you see an Eland bull lower it's horns the Estes explains why. Wishes for future edition would be the inclusion of the social behavior of the Ostrich as they are such a large and obvious member of the Savannah."

Best Morocco Travel
In the tradition of A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun , acclaimed English travel writer Tahir Shah shares a highly entertaining account of making an exotic dream come true. Investing what money he and his wife, Rachana, had, Tahir packed up his growing family and bought Dar Khalifa, a crumbling ruin of a mansion by the sea in Casablanca that once belonged to the city’s caliph, or spiritual leader. When Shah, his pregnant wife and their small daughter move from England to Morocco, where he'd vacationed as a child, he enters a realm of "invisible spirits and their parallel world." In the March 2006 issue of The Atlantic , Terry Castle faced his addiction to the shelter magazines and furnishings catalogues that drive the "billion dollar business of home improvement." Travel writer Tahir Shah ( In Search of King Solomon's Mines ; Sorcerer's Apprentice ) possesses the same idealistic (and some critics say naïve) pursuit of greener grass through domestic upheaval. Though less intrepid souls might not care to live there, reviewers insist a few nights at Dar Khalifa in the company of such a talented writer is time well spent.

Work proceeds, or not, based on a complicated system of beliefs and customs that we learn about through a series of work stoppages, destructions and contractors. As it turns out, the house comes with three longtime resident guardians who have much advice that varies as to usefulness and self-servingness."

"His writing is very smooth and natural- it's almost impossible to put this book down and I am eagerly anticipating his next book. In other books he risks his life- often several times."

Readers will shed a tear at her losses and laugh at her predicaments in this sometimes hilarious, often heartbreaking, true story that gives a moving and often shocking insight in to the earlier life of the much-loved travel author famed for her humour and her honesty. Susie recalls a 1950s childhood in post-war London's every shade of grey and the splendours of Africa as, with her glamorous mother and father, she boards a ship bound for exotic, technicolor Kenya. Then in its final decade as a colony, Kenya was peopled with larger-than-life characters who had helped to forge its identity. Each time it seems things cannot get any worse, they do as the popular travel author lifts the lid on her own, often shocking, behaviour in her quest to protect herself and those she loves. Rebellious, lonely and self-destructive, it is a small grey horse named Cinderella who saves Susie from herself and brings her the love she craves. ' There is something very special about this book and the way the reader is instantly drawn into Susie's world and the appalling people and situations she had to endure.'. Filled with candid humor and insights, this authentic tale captures one woman's incredible coming-of-age journey.'.

"Her marrying at an early age to 'get away from it all', was a great mistake which she paid dearly through the years and also losing both parents before she really got to say good bye and I love you has bothered her throughout life."
