"The author takes us with him as he tracks lions in the bush and a herd of dangerous Cape buffalo; baits the vicious leopard; dodges the stupid rhino and barely escape an elephant stampede. We follow the difficult paths of rare gazelles and antelopes - the forest sitatunga, called the 'ghost of the forest', the dibitag, which inhabits the arid stretches of East Africa; and Nile lechwe, which lives in inaccessible swamps; and we also venture into the treacherous Sahara for the addax." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
