 Pretty good Kenya field guide April 30, 2008
I used this in Kenya, and got to know a lot of the animals there pretty well. If you are going to Africa, I highly suggest getting this, but also supplementing your research with more local resources. The book is now on the coffee table, and is pretty cool to flip through.
Not comprehensive, but very good! December 21, 2007

Probably this is the best field guide, the drawings are beautiful but strangely, the Dromedary is missing from this book albeit it is native to Northern Africa.
 Excellent November 10, 2007
