Why read it?
1 author picked Africa Bites as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Yes, Lloyd is a friend of mine but despite the number of campfires we have sat around swapping tales there were many in this book I had never heard. Like all good guides, Lloyd is a natural storyteller, but he is also a great reader and that has a positive effect on this, his first book. His writing shines, the stories move along briskly like a startled warthog, and in no time it is over and you want more.
From Peter's list on African wildlife and safaris.
