Chris Packham – BBC Wildlife Presenter – This guide provides the perfect introduction to the most frequently encountered creatures and supplements everything about their behaviour and ecologies that you have forgotten from your armchair TV safaris … It’s accessible, easy to use, concise and had plenty of little nuggets of interest and importance.

David Youlden – Television personality and author of Lion Country  – I have often said that “Africa needs lions”, but Africa also needs authors like Peter & Diane who are clearly passionate about East African wildlife, and have shared their knowledge with us through this book. It explores the most popular animals, birds and reptiles found in East Africa using key headings:- identification, lifespan, habitat, behaviour, diet, communication, reproduction, predators and “trivia”. As such, it is full of facts and insights you would never find in a conventional guidebook, and balances comprehensiveness of information with readability. An added bonus is the knowledge that the authors are donating all proceeds from the book to The Meserani Project – an organisation that educates underprivileged children in Tanzania.

Clare Peacock – Costa Foundation and Whitbread Legend Award Winner – I have visited Uganda on behalf of the Costa Foundation .. after reading this book I have already put my name down to join a group touring Kenya and Tanzania next year. It is not just the wealth of factual information that impressed me, it is the inspirational way that the authors talk about the wildlife, about their experiences, and about the effect that Africa can have on you.

John Kettley – BBC Presenter – Speaking as someone who has never ventured into the southern hemisphere, let alone on Safari, I am struck by the author’s passion and enthusiasm for what seems like their vocation in life.

Lord Wharton – A useful guide that is borne of the personal experiences of the authors, who clearly have a passion for Kenya and Tanzania and a clear understanding of its terrain and wildlife. Extensively illustrated this has clearly been a labour of love, which makes it an enjoyable “must have”.

Mike Riley – BBC Sound Recordist – Having filmed wildlife programmes on many occasions, I wish this book had been around at the time, it would have been the perfect point of reference.

Geoff Collins – Africa Wildlife Guide Trainer – This Travel guide is a must for your tour of Eastern Africa. This book is easy to read and has been written by people that have travelled in the area and have taken the time to pass this information onto you.

Loth Naparana, Senior Herpatologist, Tanzania – The sections on snakes and reptiles, like all sections in this book, are informative, detailed and highly descriptive. The Trivia sections are particularly entertaining.

With more than 400 pages packed with informative and entertaining detail, and more than 200 full colour photographs – taken by the authors themselves – this book provides an insight into a wide variety of African wildlife, their behaviour, the challenges they face, how they communicate, how they interact, and of course how they cope with environmental changes and the encroachment of man on their environment.
