Africa's Top Wildlife Countries
Africa's Top Wildlife Countries
Africa exerts a bewitching pull for those of us who cherish authentic, life-changing experiences. The continent is dazzlingly difficult to plan for and navigate. Mark Nolting's book is a crisp, clear, deeply knowledgeable overview of what you need to know about Africa's wildlife landscape. I was born in Africa. I have traveled it. This book is key intelligence for anyone considering a step into its exotic embrace.

"There is no single publication available that compiles all of the truly important information one needs to prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa like Africa’s Top Wildlife Countries. As someone who has been privileged to travel to that magnificent continent over 40 times, I can say without hesitation that this book is an invaluable guide to anyone planning to experience the infinite beauty and wonder of this incredible destination. Don’t go on safari without reading this book first!”

Mark Nolting has done it again! Clearing out the clutter from the safari experience, making sense of what is good and what is bad, getting prepared once you have decided are all often overlooked and sometimes overwhelming aspects of the safari. Thanks to African Safari Journal it's all done for you, and all that is left is to engulf yourself in our continent's pleasures.

If Africa's Top Wildlife Countries is the first book to grab when planning your safari, then the African Safari Journal is the first book to grab when you're headed to the airport to go on your safari! Nolting has got you covered from planning your safari, to living it, and reliving it again through the notes in your own personal safari journal. Packed full of information, maps, hundreds of color illustrations, and space for your own notes, it's the only book you'll ever need while on safari!

Incorporating an abbreviated guide to the African bush, a planner and a personal journal in a compact format, the African Safari Journal has been an indispensable tool accompanying our travels. Upon return, it remains a keepsake of treasured memories and mementos secreted within its pages.

I refer to the African Safari Journal while I'm on my journey on a daily basis. I use it for reference as well as to keep track of all I've seen, felt, photographed...all my thoughts and activities in one place. I find it to be a handy reference when I return home and arrange my photos and share my experiences with family and friends. I've even referred friends to Mark to travel to particular places after reviewing my African Safari Journals...I keep a new one for each trip...along with my photo albums. The journal is just one of the many advantages of traveling with the very client-oriented Africa Adventure Company!!

"This has to be the most thorough, thoughtfully created, expertly written guidebook on the region. It includes everything that every type of traveler wants and needs to know…With Mark Nolting’s guidebook, there are no questions left unanswered, and no subjects unexplored. Mr. Nolting really is the leading expert on African travel, and he captures the nuances, details, facts, figures, and images of South Africa so perfectly here. Reading this brought me right back to my life-changing journey through Southern Africa, as planned by the Africa Adventure Company, and made me eager to return."

Africa's Top Wildlife Countries was my key reference book ten years ago when I first started traveling in Africa. It was a first rate, no nonsense resource then and it just keeps getting better with each edition. The book contains detailed information about each country and what it offers; it is content rich and very well organized, making it very easy to use a planning guide. Nolting's book covers all the things that matter most when traveling to Africa; where to go, when are the best times, what will you see, what activities are available in each country. Everything you need to know to plan your African Safari is covered in this fantastic book!

"We’ve reached a time when safaris need to be equal parts discovery and enjoyment, wonder and excitement but also responsible and contributing to conservation, communities and making the planet better, or we will lose the very resource tourism depends on. Choosing just the right blend is difficult. Thankfully you have a great guide in the form of Mark’s book. He understands quality and the excitement of Africa visited for the first time or once again. It is after all the place that philosophers and poets have gone to find inspiration."

We found the African Safari Journal to be an invaluable tool. When we left home, we had no appreciation for how many animals, or how many different kinds of animals we would see. Each night we would record our adventure and learn more about what we had seen. When we got home, it was a great tool to recreate our journey and make a scrapbook to share with our friends.

Initially I intended to use the African Safari Journal as something to simply wrap up as a Christmas present for my children prior to our trip in July. As it turned out, I probably enjoyed the book even more than the kids and refer to it frequently at our travel agency. It was a wealth of information prior to our departure and during our trip. I loved having the maps and a place to take notes. The animal illustrations with descriptions and check-list in the back are terrific.

We observed a family using the African Safari Journal at an airport. We asked to see it and were impressed at the amount of useful information your company provided in the Journal. We followed up and began planning our next trip with The Africa Adventure Company. Your company provided us with such a unique trip, tailored specifically to our interests.
