Africa Travel

Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader is a collection of African wildlife safari stories, including some very scary tales of coming close to possible danger with wild animals in your African travels, but fortunately managing to just escape unscathed. This book includes lots of tales of close calls and lucky escapes by travelers, with lions, snakes, hippos, elephants, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, baboons, hyenas, and more. I hope dangerous African wildlife encounters do not happen to you, but if they do, I hope you manage to escape and overcome them.
