Africa is huge and extraordinary. It has national parks the size of small countries, trees as old as London and you could drop the whole of Yorkshire into Kilimanjaro's outer contour. Across this wild land there is an unrivalled abundance of wild creatures, from colossal migrations of wildebeest to the iconic big cats, whose future depends on a dedicated band of individuals committed to their conservation. 

Savannah Diaries, the latest addition to Bradt's travel narrative series, offers a window into Africa's most spectacular national parks and game reserves. Written for a popular audience, with minimal scientific jargon, it is perfect for both armchair travellers and those planning to go on safari. Mixing personal adventures and meetings with some the continent's best safari guides, game wardens and conservationists, the book stresses the need for conservation as wild Africa continues to disappear at a faster rate than ever before. 

Brian Jackman is one of the UK's most distinguised wildlife writers who was entranced by Africa in 1974. For 20 years he worked for The Sunday Times and was voted Travel Writer of the Year in 1982. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a trustee of the George Adamson Wildlife Preservation Trust, and a patron of Tusk Trust.
