I just finished reading "African Nights" by Kuki Gallmann. It was wonderful and I have just begun "I Dreamed Of Africa" written by her also. I highly recommend anything she has written. So beautiful and poetic. She has brought her adventures to life for me.

Before my first trip to Africa, my sister-in-law gave me the book "I Speak of Africa" by Shan Varty and Molly Buchanan - it's the story of Londolozi Game Reserve, but also a story of Africa. I would also love to get "The Leopards of Londolozi" someday - it is very expensive on the web (I guess I need to go back!) I love the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series as well. "Africa's Vanishing Wildlife" by Chris and Tilde Stuart is great.

Right now, I'm reading "In the Company of Cheerful Ladies." It's either 5th or 6th in the series of "The #1 Ladies Detective Agency, " by Alexander McCall Smith. He was born in Zimbabwe, and lives in Scotland now.

I enjoy the series of books, even more than I enjoyed the TV series.

Have you read? Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson. A novel ... two HS former rivals (now in 60s?) have a contest to name the most birds in Kenya in a week. Reminds me of the contest at Djuma..

Currently reading A Carrion Death by Michael Stanley, a police detective book set in Botswana. Not a cozy like Number one Detective.. Good writing.

just finished reading "The Wilderness Family" by Kobie Kruger. Amazing book, narrates about the adventures/every day life in the bush. Loved it.

I just finished Wildflower, interesting biography,amazing woman! I'm about to start reading The Elephants and I, Sharon Pincott. It looks really good, too. I ordered Letters from Africa: Travel Stories from an Adventuresome Soul, Cynthia Tuthill, used from Amazon but don't have it yet.

I recently read Wildflower. Its a book about Joan Root (of Alan and Joan Root -the couple who became famous for their amazing African documentaries).
What a gutsy lady!
