Description
“Lion at two o’clock,” crackled the radio, and every head in the jeep turned at once. Dust hung gold in the low morning sun over the Serengeti. Hugo raised his binoculars with trembling hands and there she was, a lioness stretched on a termite mound, flicking her tail as if she had been expecting company. His grandmother, sitting beside him in her wide-brimmed hat, simply squeezed his arm and whispered that this was the moment she had saved forty years to share.
Every element of that adventure is gathered here: a map of the African continent, a walkie-talkie for calling out sightings and a pair of binoculars for the long view. It makes a spirited bon voyage present for a traveller heading off on safari, a souvenir for someone just returned, or a gift for a wildlife photographer, a zoologist or a geography teacher. It sits well on a bookshelf beside a stack of travel journals.
