Field Guide to the Mammals of Botswana

A Field Guide to the Mammals of Botswana

The first edition of this book was in 1994 by Salome Meyer and Peter Comley. It proved instrumental in aiding many young guides to launch their career path.

The intent of this book is to enable the traveller to identify the larger and more commonly encountered wild mammals in Botswana easily and to provide interesting information on
each of them. Extremely rare mammals and small rodents have not been included as they are seldom seen or difficult to identify in the field.

This book is a field guide and should be USED as much as possible on game walks and drives. A check list is included in the index at the back of this book. There is also space
available to make field notes of your observations. We suggest that you date and compare your sightings on successive visits.
We truly hope that making use of this book enhances your Botswana wilderness experience.

Read review by Varsha Lalla - How Django by Peter Comley brought out the animal lover in me...

Django

DJANGO

Crossing international borders creates hilarious situations while his charismatic nature wins the respect of reclusive tribesmen from remote and endangered cultures. Many dangers confront Django, be they aggressive wild animals or even more hostile humans. Seemingly oblivious of his diminutive stature he courageously faces every challenge and in the process saves a number of people’s lives – including that of Peter’s wife, Salome.

Peter Comley’s thirty years as a professional guide has led to many humorous and sometimes startlingly perilous incidents in some of the remotest places in Africa. Acknowledged as one of the Dark Continent’s leading guides, Peter, when he is not leading safaris, can generally be found in one or other secluded paradise, writing books and articles on travel and wildlife.
