The Safari Companion: Guide to Watching African Mammals African Safari Photography Southern Africa
(Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide)
Highly Recommended
An excellent book to take out on safari with you. Once you get back to your lodge from your game drive, with nothing to do but relax by the pool and read a book. What better than to look up all the interesting bits of information on all the wildlife you have just seen.		 This book includes: how to plan your safari and what to take; photographic tips and techniques from a leading professional; advice on where and when to travel; in-depth guides to the best locations; and vital information on the behaviour patterns of animals. Extensive information on some of the world's most luxurious safari lodges through to the best basic backpacker accommodation. It is one of very few guides to cover South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia and Malawi.

Due to their popularity, the amount of compact superzoom cameras on the market has dramatically increased of the past few years. Great news in that the competition has driven on innovations and improvements from camera manufacturers at an incredible rate. But it does make it harder to choose the right camera for your needs. To help I have included all the main features of all the best superzooms in an easy to compare format.
