FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Her first night in a Tanzanian tent began with a prowling lions roar. Will the savage terrors open her eyes to an unseen world?Sue Tidwell lived in awe of Africas extraordinary wildlife. After years spent appreciating the animals in her imagination, the tenderhearted American hated the idea of joining her husband on a big game hunt. And getting attacked by blood-sucking tsetse flies the moment she stepped off the plane gave no hint of the mind-blowing change of perspective in her future...With her initial animosity turning into curiosity as they breathlessly tracked dangerous beasts, Sue formed a surprising bond with their young, female, government-assigned game scout. And as she became entranced by the tales and wisdom from the Masimba Camp crew, she was humbled by the mystery of the vilified safari and the people who relied on it for survival.Supplementing her own experiences on the elephant-rutted roads with local insights and scientific research into conservation efforts, Tidwell explores how her preconceived beliefs sluiced away under the deluge of reality. And with an evocative narrative peppered with self-deprecating humor, vivid imagery, and over ninety photos and illustrations, youll emerge forever changed by the truths this greenhorn found buried in a rugged and romantic landscape.Cries of the Savanna is an unflinching and passionate memoir. If you like awe-inspiring adventures, truth revealed through laughter, and life being stranger than fiction, then youll adore Sue Tidwells brush with the wild. Author Biography Sue Tidwells love of travel and adventure took her to the wilds of Tanzania where she was infected with an extreme case of African fever, a condition that grips a persons heart like a vise and never lets go. In her multi-award-winning memoir Cries of the Savanna, Tidwell is determined to light that fire in the heart of her readers as well. She lives in rural Idaho with her husband, Rick, who tolerates her endless obsession with the faraway land.
