"Interesting. I may be biased in that Matthiessen's "Snow Leopard" was so incredible that I've wanted him to reach that height again and so far I haven't found a book of his that has. This is still a fine read."
"I loaned this book to a friend who was heading to Africa on safari. She found it very good preparatory reading. I liked it very much myself, but there isn't a word this man has written that isn't engaging."
"A well written, thoughtful meditation on the land, people and animals of Kenya and Tanzania. It's a must read for anyone who has been on safari. The descriptions will make you feel that you are back in the Serengeti. It is very helpful in understanding the people of the bush and what has happened to them. While it was based on his travels in the 1960's, it is still very relevant to today."
