Cry of the Kalahari | |
This is the story of the Owens’ travel and life in the Kalahari Desert. Here they met and studied unique animals and were confronted with danger from drought, fire, storms, and the animals they loved. This best-selling book is for both travelers and animal lovers.

The story of these researchers in the Kalahari is amazing and true! Incredible, the things they endure, all for their love of the animals, and their research into them is very valuable. Interestingly written; even though this is essentially a scientific work, it is not dry, but a wonderful story of how Man interacts with the Wild Side. I loved the hornbills in Camp, and, when I was just in Botswana, experienced for myself their mischievousness and wit.
I learned a lot from this book, which I was constantly telling people about!
Bought it to read while on photo safari in South Africa and Botswana, but I was too exhausted each evening after two game drives per day. Reading it afterwards, I have a much greater appreciation and understanding of the Owens' experiences, joys, and frustrations. It's not a literary masterpiece, but I think it gives a great picture of both animal and human life in the Kalahari - and a reflection of all life on earth. With my personal experience and reading Mark's and Delia's experience, I don't think I can ever enjoy a zoo the same way I once did.
I'm really enjoying this book but the scanning came up with errors that nobody fixed. "Mark" becomes "Marie" and there are "scent maries"; they told "yarn after yam", "AH" instead of "all" and so forth. This slows down my enjoyment of the book.
These well known authors/researchers have given a beautiful account of their amazing life, studying African wildlife by living among the animals in the Kalahari. Their grit and determination are admirable to say the least, and their success in bringing about better protection for the animals and ecosystems is unmatched.
