Looking at animals and the landscape from a vehicle is like watching the movie; walking in the bush is reading the book. The author records and shares her love of Africa through a collection of colourful biographies of some of Africa's foremost professional guides. Interspersed with often amusing, and often hair-raising, anecdotes of life in the bush, she paints a vivid picture of the passion and dedication of this fiercely independent breed. This documents the rise of the safari business into the sophisticated industry that it is today.
