Carefully fold in bushmen, poachers, and orphaned children. Season the whole thing with a pinch of drama and a dash of romance. The result is an entertaining safari through the Namibian bush, where the reader not only discovers many of Namibia's natural beauties. The author has woven in backgrounds and anecdotes about the people of Namibia, providing an entertaining and informative travel read or the perfect book for a longing journey from the comfort of your own sofa.
