Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader is a collection of African wildlife safari stories including some very scary tales of coming close to possible trouble with wild animals in your African travels but fortunately managing to just escape unscathed. It is also a collection of some of the fearful sorts of things that can and do happen to travelers, but mostly these will not happen to you. But if they do, you get to experience real, raw fear including sometimes fear for your very own life. These are very unsettling occasions that may pop up now and again in your travels. Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader, includes specific tales of close calls, and, hopefully, even occasional great escapes by travelers, specifically on safari in Africa with lions, snakes, hippos, elephants, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, baboons, hyenas, and more. This collection of true tales is the place to hear about African wildlife. I hope dangerous African wildlife encounters don't happen to you, but if they do, I hope you manage to escape and overcome them. Hopefully, you'll be all the wiser for reading about such things throughout these pages. By reading the accounts of others on safari you'll gain a healthier respect for what it is like to experience the true wild. And you'll gain a better respect for Mother Nature in all her glory as you witness and enjoy her magnificent African wildlife creations. Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader includes examples of bad things that occasionally happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things DO happen on occasion, and the best thing to do is to avoid them in the first place. But if we cannot, we should do our best to escape them. Again, while there's no easy, simple miracle list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe and surviving each dangerous situation with wild animals that may arise, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies from the many examples presented in this book that'll enable one to develop and keep in mind ways to enhance personal safety and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes. While many of the tales in this book are not strictly about life and death situations surrounding wildlife, some of them are, and some are no less about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise annoying nuisances that we all would do well to avoid and do without. The scope and variety of close calls with African wildlife in this book may surprise you. And some would never likely even occur to you. Some are even funny, like, for example, some of the examples of exotic wild animal meats you'd maybe try in Africa but would never eat even on a dare back home. Yes, such African wildlife encounters might never even occur to you, but after reading about it in this book, it may give you some pause -- who knows? Please note: another book in our True Travel Tales series, namely Travel Tales: Wild Animals includes all of the African wildlife content included in this book plus more wildlife stories from all around the world. If by reading this African Safari Reader you avoid even one unexpected travel danger that you might never have even thought of other than by reading this book, then I'll have accomplished a very useful purpose.

Travel Tales: Nine Lives Travelers is a collection of very scary tales of close calls and great escapes in your travels. Nine Lives Travelers are people who could have easily lost one of their "nine lives" by not making it through a travel situation that should have claimed at least one of them, had things gone differently. This book is a collection of bad and fearful things that do occasionally happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid them. But bad things DO happen now and again, and it's best of course to avoid them in the first place, but, of course, if we cannot, we should certainly do our best at least try to escape them. While there's no easy, simple list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe in dangerous situations that may arise in travel, there are, however, meaningful strategies to be learned from the examples in this book that will enable one to increase one's personal safety and reduce the risks of dangerous outcomes. While many of the Nine Lives Travelers tales are not strictly about life and death situations, some are about difficult, embarrassing, funny, and otherwise annoying situations that we all would do very well to avoid and certainly do without. The scope of the close calls and ultimate escapes in this book may very well surprise you. And some would never even occur to you. Some are even funny, like, for instance, El Diablo Chapt Loco, the very close-call story of riding the Crazy Red Devil "chicken bus" through the horrifying mountain roads of Panama. Yes, such an adventure may never happen to you, but after reading about it, it may give you some pause - who knows? Maybe you'll never, ever happen to board a chicken bus! Sure, you'll read stories in this book that will alert you to situations that may never even occur to you. But if you avoid even one new travel or life danger - if you can avoid losing that one of your nine lives) by simply reading this book -then I'll have accomplished a very useful purpose. Since it's impossible to include every tale of nearly losing one of your very valuable nine lives, in my collection of True Travel Tales all in one single volume, they do, of course, appear throughout my True Travel Tales series. A few books elsewhere in the series, for example, Travel Tales: Wild Animals, Travel Tales: The African Safari Reader, and Travel Tales: Snakes and Other Critters, of course, do specifically include tales of close calls (and, hopefully, great escapes) by travelers, largely on safari in Africa and elsewhere in the world, with wild animals, including lions, tigers, snakes, hippos, elephants, Cape buffalos, crocodiles, dogs, bulls, monkeys, baboons, birds of prey, cougars, hyenas, bears, snakes, scorpions and many more. Just What Is a "Nine-Lives Traveler?" In Travel Tales: Nine Lives Travelers we broadly consider that those of us travelers and adventurers though having naturally our one and likely only single cherished God-given life to live have the potential, of course, to court seriously dangerous or potentially disastrous (or even funny or embarrassing for us) close calls such that we may very easily and loosely have skillfully managed to "save" or even sometimes hypothetical "lose" in our travels or adventures. Yet we live another mindful day. We say we have "lost" (or nearly lost) one of our potential so-called "nine lives" when we have managed to maintain, contain, or even sustain ourselves in these sometimes risky (or exceedingly embarrassing or funny situations during our travel lives) and have duly managed to "survive" and "overcome" to live yet another travel day!

In this breathtaking travel memoir and adventure guide, the legendary founder of the world’s premier luxury travel company, Abercrombie & Kent, takes readers on a whirlwind tour around the globe, sharing his best-kept secrets and the story of his success and his life. In 1962, Geoffrey Kent had nothing but a Kenya pound and an old Land Rover when he hosted his first safari in Nairobi, Kenya. Today, he is the co-owner of Abercrombie & Kent, a half-billion dollar international corporation that provides unique, stylish luxury travel to the planet’s wildest frontiers, for an exclusive clientele that includes Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Ralph Lauren, and DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. In his first book, this “Indiana Jones meets James Bond” entrepreneur who invented the cutting-edge travel industry tells his story—his life reads like a work of fiction, growing up barefoot in the African bush, riding his motorcycle across the continent, and ultimately becoming the most sought-after travel professional in the world. Safari: Memoir of a Worldwide Travel Pioneer is a breathtaking and exhilarating trip to some of the most exotic and stunning locations on earth. Beginning in Africa and ultimately spanning the globe, it is packed with sometimes harrowing and always entertaining memories from Kent’s life and career, revealing fascinating tales from his personal and ultra-exclusive celebrity clients. The book is also filled with insider travel tips and award-winning photography. In addition, Kent provides an inspiring bucket list of must-see sites, so that every class of voyager and even armchair travelers can experience the wonders of the world. From sophisticated cities to far-flung locales, Safari lets readers indulge their spirit of adventure, whisking them to the places of their dreams—and beyond through the lens of this larger-than-life action adventurer.

"An amazing real life perspective on African safari that has been delightfully shared. Funny and witty. Footsteps well worth following." -Philip Coetzee, South Africa, Advanced Nature Guide, author of Birds for Beginners. Four friends, all big-city dwellers, embark on their first African safari. An internationally published travel writer and her husband, an award-winning travel photographer, are joined by their life-long friends on a journey to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Previously, their exploration of over 60 countries took them to big cities and historical monuments around the globe. But this trip is different. Traveling around Kruger National Park and Victoria Falls, they crisscross the bush and meet African wildlife in its natural habitat. Which predators, grass eaters, branch nibblers, and birds of prey did they find? What did the animals do in the presence of people? How did it feel to be only a few feet away from a pride of lions devouring their kill, a herd of suspicious elephants, an intimidating Cape buffalo, or an unpredictable rhinoceros? In an easy to read, conversational style, the author, Alex Shaland, delivers a fair mix of wildlife photography, animal and bird factual data, and practical information. Shaland shares his experiences as a first-time safari explorer and sprinkles the narrative with a good dose of humor and personal stories. If a trip to Africa is in your plans, this entertaining and informative book, jam-packed with photos of animals and birds, will help you make the first step on the way to your dream. If you are interested in wildlife, nature, and animal protection, the story will enrich your knowledge of the animal kingdom. At the very least, it is just fun to read.
