Description
In the early 1970s, carrying little more than a change of clothes and a pair of binoculars, Mark and Delia Owens caught a plane to Africa, bought a third-hand Land Rover, and drove deep into the Kalahari Desert. There they lived for seven years in an unexplored area with no roads, no people, and no source of water for thousands of square miles. In this vast wilderness the couple began their zoology research, working alongside lions, brown hyenas, jackals, giraffes, and the many other creatures they came to know.
Cry of the Kalahari is a gripping account of how two young Americans survived the dangers of living in one of the last pristine areas on Earth.
The incredible memoir by Delia Owens and her then partner Mark Owens, charting their time researching wildlife in the Kalahari Desert.
