"A fascinating glimpse into another life a world away from anything remotely urban. Made me appreciate the little things, like regular power supplies, running water and local shops. It's well written too. A most enjoyable read."

"Running a lodge in the African bush means not only exotic wildlife but also eccentric human life. A vivid and engaging read!"


- William Saunderson-Meyer, Sunday Times, South Africa

"Sensational! As I love the bush so much this book certainly brought back great memories of living & working on the game lodges in Africa. A great read and could not put the book down."


- Caroline Waller

"The author is a great story teller, and I now want the book in my African collection. She explains with humour and keenly observed word pictures the joys, trials, and tribulations of being a manager of a tourist lodge. Everyone who has ever visited one, or plans to, should buy this book as they will appreciate what they are offered even more."
