About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Reviews

[John Weibull]

This book is a must-read for anybody thinking of travelling to Africa, whether they be Peace Corps volunteers, reporters or tourists. Your health is the most important thing in your life, and getting sick in Africa is no picnic, and could kill you quite quickly. A little scratch on a Safari could easily develop into a full-blown infection, so you must know what to do. I highly recommend this book.

Small book, but critical reading for anyone planning on going to Africa.

This book is AWESOME. It tells you what medicine to get at the pharmacy anywhere, how much to get, etc etc. Best self diagnosing book ever. :)

Very helpful! If I survive the safari, it will be because I read this book before going. :)
