My Favourite Books About Africa:

Some of my favourite stories from an unknown and misunderstood continent.

·    Around Africa On My Bicycle – By Riaan Manser

·    The Elephant Whisperer - By Lawrence Anthony & Graham Spence

·    Mukiwa: A White Boy In Africa – By Peter Godwin

·    Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation (Also know as Invictus) – By John Carlin

·    Last Of The Free – By Gareth Patterson

·    The Last Rhinos – By Lawrence Anthony & Graham Spence

·    Fiela's Child - By Dalene Matthee

·    Circles In A Forest - By Dalene Matthee

·    Jock of the Bushveld- By Sir James Percy Fitzpatrick.

·    Long Way Down - By Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman

·    Don’t Run What Ever You Do - By Peter Allison

With the exception of the Dalene Matthee’s books all of the above are true stories, however Dalene Matthee is a historical writer so although the charters aren’t real their way of lives are real.

I was going to divide these into “human” and “wildlife” categories but then I realized that they are far too interconnected. For example ‘The Last Rhinos’ is as much about peace talks with Joseph Kony and the LRA as it is about rhinos!
