    About this ebook

    It is important to note that safaris and adventurous holidays in Africa can be, by their very nature and the environments in which they take place, culturally challenging, physically demanding, risky to health, potentially dangerous and, without the correct preparation and skills, horribly disastrous! The type of preparedness one undergoes is usually based on previous personal experience and the pre-departure advice supplied by the travel companies who organise your trip (tour operators and safari outfitters). These elements vary enormously, from individual to individual and from company to company. This book is intended to cover all the aspects and contingencies one might encounter, by providing a selection of advice, checklists, guidelines and essays, designed to help the reader, whatever role or position in the group, to have an enjoyable and successful trip.

    "Not only an excellent practical handbook for anyone venturing into the African bush, this book is also full of personal insights and entertaining anecdotes that make for good reading. Don't leave home without it!"

    Mel Gormley, Director, Classic Africa Safaris, Uganda

    "A comprehensive handbook and essential companion for anyone venturing out into the wilds of East Africa, plus several intimate and often humorous insights into just a few of the travels, incidents and mishaps that can occur while on safari."

    David Read, Author of Barefoot over the Serengeti and Beating about the Bush.

    BIO: I am British, born in England in 1952 but now live in Uganda, East Africa with my South Sudanese wife and our two young children. A former professional soldier in the British Army, I have lived in Africa since 1992. My early years here were spent taking clients on wildlife safaris and mountain climbs. From 2004 onward until the present time I have worked as a Security Contractor and Consultant in Tanzania, war-ravaged South Sudan, and the deserts of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia
