Rafiji, a young horse found running wild in South Africa near the Botswana border, is caught and trained to be a safari horse. She tells of her travels and adventures as she encounters wildebeests, zebras, kudus, monkeys, warthogs, rhinos, giraffes, leopards, hippos, red hartebeests, and black sable antelope. This story is based on a true adventure. The colorful cover illustration, plus interior pencil illustrations were professionally drawn by Jewel L. Clark to help children visualize the animals in the story.
