### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent reference
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021*

Safari guides had this book and I referred to it often while on safari. Wanted a copy for home. It’s hefty to travel with but makes a great home resource. Packed with details. Great for any animal lover.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A useful reference book but has its flaws
  

*by F***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018*

This guide to all the land mammals of Africa is the standard for the continent. While there are better and more complete guides for Southern African mammals available, this is the indispensable book to have for anywhere outside of that sub-region.First impressions are that it is a bit too large and heavy to carry about in the field. It functions better as a reference book, although given the lack of mammal field guides available you will really have to go with this one.The text is mostly informative and interesting, and contains interesting details on behaviour, although it tends to be lengthy and could’ve been shorn in a number of places without harm to the whole. For example the author devotes lots of space to tentative phylogenetic trees and lengthy discourses on supposed evolutionary histories. In reality of course this is entirely unproven conjecture, and given the size and weight of this tome, the publisher really should’ve cut out the evolutionist propaganda and focused on what we know, and what is useful, namely identification, biology, behaviour and habitat.Each species is granted one illustration. Some are reasonable, others are barely adequate for identification. Many of these images are slightly ill-proportioned or unattractive. Another way to slim down this volume,  would have been to put the illustrations on plates side-by-side for identification.Ultimately the idea of this book is a bit over-ambitious: Africa is a vast and diverse continent. As a result,  whole groups of mammals (bats, rodents etc) are represented only by genus. Hopefully future field guides will become more specialized.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A superb reference book from THE authority on African mammals
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2016*

A superb reference book to the mammals of Africa. The Tanzania-born author is the authority on study of mammals in Africa.This heavy book was my constant companion when on Safari in Kenya. I would come back in the evenings from my game drive and read up on the animals I saw.If you are going to go on multiple safaris I recommend getting the hard bound version. The paperback is lighter, but as with any reference book, becomes dog-eared after frequent use.
