Book Review by Clayton D " Wild about Cape Town" by Duncan Butchart



A very good variety of animals and plants occur on and around the Cape Peninsula. This is a very easy colour-coded all-in-one guide depicting the commonly encountered wildlife of various habitats, including mountains, wetlands and beaches, and is very useful for hiking on Table Mountain and ambling along the shore. The animal and plant species are colour-coded so it’s easy to use and find what you are looking for. I recommend this book to all nature lovers.
