This vibrant, informative guide showcases the diverse wildlife of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It profiles over 60 mammal species – from the wildebeest that migrate in vast herds across the Serengeti plains to the big cats that lie in wait, as well as smaller species such as caracals, genets, and bats. It also features 50 of the more common and charismatic bird species, 30 reptile and amphibian species, 10 iconic trees, and a range of interesting insects.
Stunning full-colour photographs capture the essence of this popular game-viewing and birdwatching destination: action-packed river crossings, beautiful landscapes, and African creatures great and small. This book is both a useful guide in the field and a valuable memento.
