Africa captured Mat Dry's heart from his first day as a safari guide. Sharing the thrills and excitement of the continent's wildlife and landscape is Dry's driving passion, although some days it seems like his safari guests are doing their level best to win a Darwin Award.
Join Dry as he shares stories of the Amakhala Game Reserve, the Okavango Delta, and the Serengeti. From the majesty of a bull elephant moving silently through a midnight campground to the world's most oblivious jazz pianist, Dry's stories range from wonder and awe to all-out hilarity. As a guide, Dry has faced down charges from full-grown lions...and delicately removed a hand-sized spider from his just-showered and vulnerable lower back.
THIS is Africa 2: More True Tales of a Safari Guide offers up more of Dry's adventures and misadventures as he guides people with no bush skills through Africa's wild places. Just be warned-after you finish reading his eloquent plea on behalf of rhinos you may be tempted to go on a safari yourself. If you do, hope you get Dry as your guide. He knows what he's doing-and how to have fun.
