I am looking for a book that has pictures of the various African animals, any recommendations?

how about "Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa" by Chris & Tilde Stuart. isbn # 1-85368-113-x

Another alternative is one ofe the Audebron Society books for whichever part of Africa you're going to.

Forget the books, you can get all the information to your desktop at a more economical price at this site:



Ultimate Field Guide



This site also has a very extensive overview of all the ungulates, it is the holy grail and will help you no end to understand the full monty on wildlife

Twp books I've gotten a lot out of.

A BIG one is The Encyclopedia of Mammals, by David MacDonald, a Barnes & Noble book. A great coffee table book with a whole lot of pictures and info.

Second one is The Perfect Shot by Kevin Robertson. Also a great book, with information on shot placement (duh), animal habits, cartridges, etc.
