    A beguiling novel that does for contemporary Kenya and its 1,000 species of birds what Alexander McCall Smith’s Ladies Detective series does for Botswana
     
    For the past three years, the widower Mr. Malik has been secretly in love with Rose Mbikwa, a woman who leads the weekly bird walks sponsored by the East African Ornithological Society. Reserved and honorable, Malik wouldn't be noticed by a bystander in a Nairobi street—except perhaps to comment on his carefully sculpted combover. But beneath that unprepossessing exterior lies a warm heart and a secret passion.
     
    But just as Malik is getting up the nerve to invite Rose to the Nairobi Hunt Club Ball (the premier social occasion of the Kenyan calendar), who should pop up but his nemesis from his school days. The jokester Harry Khan, good-looking in a flashy way and quick of foot, has also become enraptured with the object of Malik’s affection.
    So begins the competition cooked up by fellow members of the Asadi club: whoever can identify the most species of birds in one week’s time gets the privilege of asking Ms. Mbikwa to the ball.
    Set against the lush Kenyan landscape rich with wildlife and political intrigue, this irresistible novel has been sold in eight countries and is winning fans worldwide.

    The Masai Mara is, quite simply, one of the greatest wildlife experiences in the world. Where else can the visitor experience two million migrating animals passing through each year on their never-ending search for food and water? But strangely, until now, there has been no proper map of the Mara available to tourists. Maps have been on sale, but all are inaccurate, out-of-date or made with limited or no Global Positioning System (GPS) survey. The new Mara Map has been surveyed using Landsat 7 satellite imagery and GPS survey to fix roads, tracks and other features accurately. The cartographic expertise of Harvey Maps has been used to produce the final version.

    This Visitor Map Guide includes features on the Ecozones, the Migrations and on the Maasai designed to give you an experience exceeding that of simply "game-spotting". Similarly the graphics and text on species, especially predators, are included to make your visit to the Mara much more informed. It also includes maps of the Mara Triangle, the Mara River & Central Plains and the Mara & Ngama Hills.

    If you are travelling independently, we hope the travel and accommodation information is helpful. However you use the Visitor Map Guide, it will make a memorable souvenir of your trip of a lifetime.
    Ideally, to get the most out of your visit, spend time using the Map Guide before you arrive, or before your first game-drive. Find out where you are, and where you are going, as well as something about the background of this amazing place.
