These books give a very realistic description of the life-threatening situations the rangers sometimes experience in the course of their duties, as well as the unique and humorous events that occur in the African bush - usually at the most inopportune moments!

The English and Afrikaans versions of the three books in the series are very popular amongst nature lovers in South Africa as well as abroad. We are now launching our eBooks and will be available to order soon from our website.

The game rangers - authentic stories from the African bush was published in 1992 and is in its sixth edition. It was recently translated into Dutch by a well-known publisher in Holland under the title Mannen van de wildernis - 78 autentieke verhalen van de game rangers in Afrika for distribution on the European market. It is also in the process of being translated in Chinese for distribution on the Chinese, Taiwanese and Thailand markets. There are almost as many copies of the English version of this book on the shelves of nature lovers overseas as there are in the hands of those in South Africa. Its Afrikaans version Die veldwagters vertel - ware verhale uit ons nasionale parke (209 pages) was published in 1991 and is also nearing its sixth edition. All these wild books will be available in eBook.

The second book in the series, A barrel of laughs - officials from the national parks tell their stories... (60 pages) and its Afrikaans counterpart ‘n Skatkis vol lagstories - amptenare uit die nasionale parke vertel hul stories (60 pages), relates the humour in the African bush in such a realistic manner that the stories at times seem unreal! This will hopefully bring an end to the myth that whatever happens in the bush must always be dramatic or terrifying.

Although it is still too soon to tell, the indications are that the recent book The silent heroes of the African bush - a collection of true hair-raising stories the rangers would rather forget … and its Afrikaans version Die veldwagters vertel verder... ‘n bundel ware bosverhale wat die hare laat rys... will soon equal the popularity of its famed predecessors.

Books from the Wild is proud to announce its latest publications Africa – the legends live on as well as its Afrikaans version Afrika-stories wat die hare laat rys. This book portrays the dramatic interaction between man and beast in the African wilderness where one false move can claim the life of a careless wanderer that dare to enter the world where the Big Five reign supreme.

The publication of these books which is packed with drama, adventure and humor, brings it within easy reach of  every enthusiastic reader. African Wild books now available to order from Books from the Wild.
