Open this book and step into the East African bush. Climb into a Land Rover with Jeannette and David and head for adventure!

Take a lion-mauled warrior to hospital. Search for singing stones and hidden treasure. Explore the rock paintings of central Tanzania with Dr Mary Leakey and Hadza hunters. Go on safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Battle with bureaucracy in sweaty Dar es Salaam. Capsize on Lake Eyasi. Witness the elaborate funeral rites of a chief, and the terrible fate of a thief. Laugh and cry as David and Jeannette navigate the rocky roads of village politics, culture clash, and survival in a challenging environment.

In Spirited Oasis, the authors described how they settled in the remote Lake Eyasi region of Tanzania after years of wildlife research and teaching. This book of illustrated stories is a sequel, about dramatic events in their village and wilderness exploration beyond. Learn what it takes to live such a life, and what it takes to leave it.
