The Animals of East Africa
A Visual Field Guide to Family, Survival, Migration & the Circle of Life
Who this is for
Travelers, families, and curious minds — anyone planning a safari or wanting to understand what they saw.
“The greatest classroom on Earth.” A photographic field guide to the wildlife of East Africa — how animal families are built, how they survive, why they migrate, and how the circle of life turns on the savannah.
Told through animal portraits — from the mountain gorilla and African lion to the wildebeest, zebra, and giraffe — with the stories and science behind each one.
