Customer Reviews

Beautiful book, lavishly illustrated

This is a superb book about a little known region. Whether to bring back memories of a trip, or plan for a future journey, or just to enjoy -- highly recommended.

Highly informative.

Northern Botswana has a harsh environment, with torrid summers, chilly winters, unreliable rainfall, and infertile soils. Yet it is home to the Okavango Delta, which is one of the greatest havens for wildlife in Africa. Karen Ross has produced a wealth of information about the ecology, geology, and history of this important area.
