The rest I will add as I remember the titles .

One special one, not only on Kruger called "The conservationists & the killers" Special edition. About nature conservation & the history of the forming of what is now Kruger, SANParks & also Natal Park etc.

Also various others, all in boxes at the mo....

ndloti, I seem to get the feeling that you like Kruger ?

One of many we have, is "Wild About the Lowveld", mainly directed at Kruger animals, trees etc. Does it count?
I'll have to write the others down when @ home, some here at work, some there at home, some in the caravan, some in Marloth.
Part of my extreme joy of our Kruger holidays is to go look at the books in the shops, and MUST buy at least one per visit, even if it is yet another map book!

I counted eight Kruger-related books that I own, seven from your impressive list ndloti and one called “Die Wildtuin is ons Woning”.

I only have a few.

Gameranger remembers by Bruce Bryden
Roberts birds of the KNP
Mamals of the Kruger Park

and a few more adveradge ones like:
Sasol Birds of Southern Africa
Sappi Tree spotting

Good question...

Not as impressive as your list ndloti, but I've got a couple. (Wouldn't mind to add those on your list to my shelves as well.)

Jock of the Bushveld - FitzPatrick, Sir Percy

And I'm sure there's some more in the books that I've not read yet.

Yes , billyf , it is my church .

Anybody going to New Zealand in the near future that and who will be prepared to bring my "Neem uit die verlede" book back. My sister has emigrated and have taken my book with her

Ndloti, you beat me "maar ook net-net". I have a couple of books which were printed in the 1960's or 70's and is about the size of a National Geographic magazine. They have old stories and black and white pictures of the old days in Kruger. There are sequels of photos of kills that was captured on film. Will give more detail later.

Neem Uit Die Verlede is available at Protea Boekwinkel in Hatfield Pretoria .

A few of our group borrowed my copy of Wild Company to read when we camped in an area that Gus Adendorff loved .

Here .

We have quite a few of the ones already mentioned. Two very easy reading books that I have read a couple of times and not yet mentioned , were written by Kobie Kruger, a game ranger's wife. Mahlangeni and All Things Wild and Wonderful. Some of the books we have are a good twenty to thirty years old.

I have the dubious distinction of owning one of the very old copies of "Jock of the bushveld", although I only read it for the first time a couple of years ago. (In 2008).

I also have a very old book called "Lurking danger in the Kruger National Park." Not too sure of the auhor but it has many more photos than words. My kind of book since looking at pictures is easier than reading.

Other than that, do my books such as "Game PArks of Southern Africa" qualify?

How 'bout my SA road atlas which shows KNP?

My favourite reading book on KNP has to be 'Memories Of A Game Ranger" .

I have too many Most of those you list Ndloti plus a few old ones I inherited from my folks and many more that I have purchased myself. My kids won't go in a book store with me incase I find another book about birds, wild life or Kruger
