Reisgids - Natuurgids Walking Safaris in South Africa - Zuid Afrika | Struik Nature
Swapping a vehicle for two feet is the way to explore the wilderness, like our ancestors once did: in the tracks of wild animals, absorbing the scents and sounds of nature, immersed in the great outdoors rather than merely observing it. In the safe hands of expert guides, walkers not only experience the excitement of sharing trails with big game but embark on a learning experience unlike any other, deepening their appreciation of the natural world. In this book, seasoned hikers Hlengiwe Magagula and Denis Costello cover the wealth of guided walking safaris across 21 big-game parks and reserves in South Africa (including two in eSwatini and one in Botswana). They unpack the options available in each park, from short dawn and dusk walks and multi-day wilderness trails to backpacking trails that span several days. Facilities range from ultra-luxurious to 'wild camping', either in tents or under the stars. Also included is a series of first-hand accounts that vividly illustrate the magic…

Natuurgids First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa | Struik Nature
Natuurgids First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa | Struik Nature
Dit handzame gidsje is een goed hulpmiddel voor het spotten van de sporen van meest voorkomende dieren in zuidelijk Afrika. Met kleurenfoto's, tekeningen van pootafdrukken en kaartjes van leefgebieden. The First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa will help to decipher the more common tracks encountered in southern Africa. The animal's spoor may vary according to its age, mass, sex and condition. It may also have a unique way of walking or a particular habit that distinguishes it from other individuals of the same species. People today are often not familiar with the immense variety of animal life that surrounds them, simply because most animals are rarely seen. To a 'spoor conscious' tracker, however, animal tracks may reveal the activities of a multitude of animals. Leopards, for example, are very elusive and thus hardly ever seen. They have the uncanny ability to live near human settlements, often on the periphery of large cities. Finding leopard tracks in unexpected pl…

Productomschrijving

This book provides a comprehensive, detailed, evidence-based review of the seven animals officially described as ‘dangerous’ by the professional association of Field Guides in South Africa. To this number the authors have added crocodiles. The text embraces the anatomical, physiological and behavioural aspects of the animals and aims to provide such up-to-date and evidence-based information as is available at the time of writing.   It was developed in part for apprentice guides studying so-called dangerous game who might need a concise yet thorough, evidence-based learning tool to supplement their lectures. The decision to limit the book to ‘dangerous game’ was mainly due to the fact that most visitors to the bush, when asked by their guide what they most wished to see, give the name of one of these animals. This is notwithstanding the enthusiasm of all guides to interest their guests in every aspect of the bush and not limit their exposure to the large and/or dangerous species.   Describing and discussing the key features of each animal within one volume makes this valuable to all users, whether used in the bush, for study or general interest. It should be borne in mind that, with some rare exceptions of ill-luck, almost everything you meet in the bush need not actually be dangerous for those who are sensible, prepared and educated. But it is vital to remember that we, the visitors, professionals and guests, are the interlopers.   We are on their turf. The authors are two qualified Field Guides who have travelled through the African Bush both in vehicles and on foot for over 25 years. As well as qualifying to lead parties on foot in dangerous game areas they have spent a considerable period of time teaching apprentice guides at a well-known guiding school in South Africa.
