African Safari Planning Map (Folded) (ISBN-13: 9780939895298)

Printed on waterproof, tear-resistant paper, this is the only Safari Planning Map to Africa on the market and includes key elements essential in planning a successful safari. This full-color map is large (38.25" x 26.5") and is in itself a work of art by Mark Nolting, the author of Africa's Top Wildlife Countries and the African Safari Field Guide (each with over 200,000 copies in print).

This map emphasizes the wildlife areas and provides information needed to plan a safari, whereas other maps on Africa focus on intricate road systems etc. which are irrelevant to most international safariers, as they either fly from park to park or they are driven by guides. Most other maps are basically useless from the standpoint of assisting readers in planning a safari.

The map includes the locations of over 150 top safari camps and lodges within key wildlife reserves that greatly assists in the planning of a safari of a life time!
