ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are so many people to remember to thank in the very long process of making of this, my very first safari book. Most importantly I wish to thank my wife Susan for her patience and understanding while I burned the midnight oil almost to the exclusion of all else and to my sons Christopher and Jason for sharing my passion for the outdoors. Special thanks to Dr. Oliver Ford in sharing my enthusiasm and providing valuable assistance in the creation of this book.
