Okavango

After The South African Bushveld - A field guide from the Waterberg, this is the second comprehensive field guide to be published in southern Africa that covers a comprehensive cross-section of the most prominent animals, plants, birds, fish, insects and tracks and signs of a particular region. It includes a detailed natural history section for a greater understanding of the people, plus geology, habitats and ecology of the region. This title negates the need to carry more than one guide book when visiting the Okavango.

Lee Gutteridge was born in Sheffield, England, in 1973. His parents moved to South Africa in 1982, where he was educated. Since his first encounters with snakes in the mid-eighties he has been passionate about African wildlife. He is now a professional field guide with 17 years bush experience. He is currently the chairman of the Waterberg region of the Field Guides’ Association of Southern Africa (FGASA). He is also the principal trainer of the Entabeni Nature Guide Training School. Passionate about the learning and sharing of knowledge, his first book, the best-selling The South African Bushveld—A Field Guide from the Waterberg, was published in 2008. He lives in the eastern Waterberg with his wife Sarah and his two children, Kellen and Savannah. Tony Reumerman was born and raised on the Highveld of South Africa and from an early age developed an interest in bird, insect and plant life. He was educated at St John Bosco College in Daleside where his interest in natural history unfolded, becoming an obsession during his years as a soldier in Namibia and a microbiology student in Johannesburg. Excursions into wildlife areas in southern Africa became so regular that he decided to become a game ranger. He was to spend eight years guiding, managing and training other guides at Sabi Sabi Game Reserve in the Kruger region before moving, in 2000, to the Okavango where he joined Wilderness Safaris. He heads up the guide-training team and has an avid interest in mammal behaviour, photography, botany and ornithology.
