Amateur naturalist, wildlife enthusiast, and award winning photographer Harriet Saunders pursues her childhood dream of adventure in this travel diary/photo journal of her trip to South Africa. Overcoming the encroachment of age and a reluctant spouse, she takes us on safari to renowned Kruger National Park and Thula Thula Private Game Reserve, the home of the elephants made famous in Lawrence Anthony's The Elephant Whisperer. She has lavishly illustrated her diary with whimsical graphics and over 250 photographs. The people are fascinating, the jokes are groaners, and the animals are the stars of the show.
