This book made my trips to South Africa much more enjoyable. I was able to identify so many species of plants and animals, and learn about them - so many I didn't even know about until I was there. The pictures are in color and there is a lot of information about the verious animals and plants which gives a deeper appreciation for the diversity of all the creatures with whom we share this precious planet
