Excellent reference - By: Dr. David Crone, 12 Jul 2008
This book is an excellent field guide & reference book which is smalll enough to take in your camera bag on your game drives. It has very clear & concise descriptions of the relevant animals & has a huge section on birds. The photos are of good quality.

The beginning of the book has a brief description of photography & the equipment you will need to take with you. It then attempts to explain some basic photography skills. This was not comprehensive enough to be of much use other than for the complete novice & I feel there are better books for this.

An excellent field reference & I would recommend it for your trip.
WILDLIFE OF KENYA, TANZANIA AND UGANDA 2006 - By: Dr. S. S. Nagi, 02 Dec 2007
This smalll book with 248 pages deals with photography in the first few pages. Explains lenses you need, cameras, exposure,lighting & posture to take pictures of moving subjects.
Then the book moves on to beautiful photos of birds. The pictures are on the right pages & writing on the left pages. Nearly the 2/3 rd of the book is on birds of East Africa, which has nearly 500 different birds. Then the book explains in similar fashion about mammals, reptiles, flowers & trees.
It is an excellent book to take with you on safari to Kenya, Tanzania & Uganda. The size of the book is just right for travel.
Having born in Kenya & travel there on safari frequently, I would reccomend this book, so that you may enjoy & spot the wildlife easily. Your guide/driver will also show you the wildlife.
Read & ENJOY.
