Publisher Description:
Anyone considering a safari but unsure whether such a trip is for them should read the Safari Chronicles. "Knowing what you want out of your safari," says Leo Cyr, "is the first step toward a successful safari. However, if you have never been on safari, how will you know where to go or what to see?"The Cyrs had to answer the same "when-where-what" questions you are likely thinking about today. That is why they wrote Africa Safari Chronicles. Their first priority is to give you the information you need to make informed decisions about safari basics. Then, they help you with the next level of travel challenges like visas, inoculations, luggage, clothing and many other subjects. Their check lists will greatly simplify your preparations. Next, they take you with them on the actual safari. Through their pictures and daily diary you will experience what they experienced on the actual safari. The "Daily Safari Journal with Beth and Leo" chapter will most likely answer most of your questions about what happens on safari. If not, Leo provides his email address so you can submit additional questions. That address is leomcyr@gmail.com.Each Africa Safari Chronicles volume has a chapter with color pictures of the animals and birds you can expect to see when you visit the featured National Parks or Game Reserves. They even pass on the wildlife spotting techniques taught by their safari guides. It is important to understand that several chapters on organization and planning are the same in each Chronicle volume. The advice and check lists presented do not vary appreciably from country to country. If special circumstances need to be addressed, that information is provided in the appropriate volume. There are four volumes of the Africa Safari Chronicles. They are: Volume 1: Remote Tanzanian National Parks of Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale. Volume 2: Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.Volume 3: TanzaniaVolume 4: Kenya In Volume 1, the Chronicles visit the Remote Tanzanian National Parks of Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale. These Parks are special because all three are among the least visited National Parks in Tanzania. You can be assured you will not be crowded. In fact, you will rarely see another safari vehicle all day, every day. Ruaha is the largest of Tanzania's National Parks. It has one of the densest biomass ratings of any park in Africa. It is big but full of life. Katavi is even more remote. It is said to be the one National Park which has conditions akin to the pristine ecosystem common to most of sub-Saharan Africa 100 years ago. Mahale is located on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. It is like the Garden of Eden. Mahale is home to the "M" Group of chimpanzees. Mahale is one of two places in Tanzania (the other is Gombe Stream) where one can be virtually assured of seeing chimpanzees in the wild.
