About: Nature Unpacked: The traveller's ultimate bush guide to Southern Africa

The wildlife areas of southern Africa are diverse both in landscape and the creatures found there. Each ecosystem has unique elements but every ecosystem is made up of a range of facets in interplay and which cannot be appreciated in isolation of one another. The trees and plants provide the stage on which the animal groups play out their existence, from the smallest of insects to the largest elephant. Nature Unpacked: The traveller's ultimate bush guide to Southern Africa offers the first-time traveller to southern Africa as well as the most experienced nature enthusiast, an easy-access guide to the ways of wild creatures. It is an all-in-one guide that covers the most common mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, insects and plants found in the region, a reader-friendly text and more than 900 stunning photographs reveal what the creatures of the African bush do and why they do it, and expose the role each plays in nature's complex web. Other features include distribution maps, animal spoor, icons and Quick ID tables.
