Just bought Mahlangeni, can't wait to start

Mahlangeni - wonderful book, could not put it down.

If I can make one comment - I would have loved some photos of the places and people mentioned. I saw a different Mahlangeni on the internet, with a colour photo of the family crossing the Letaba in their famous boat. My version has a couple of drawings on the cover.

I was also surprised to read the names of a family that I actually know - small world

I had a look on Google Earth for their house on the banks of the Letaba - Might have found it

I am totally addicted to her two books and have read them a good few times, and none of the editions I have have a photo of Mahlangeni Bennie.

Mahlangeni rangers station , the bridge that Kobie Kruger writes about that was built during their tenure there is clearly visible .

Mahlangeni is one of my favourite books ever! You could actually "feel" KNP while reading it.

I could not agree more with you all.

Ndloti, thank you for the google image

All the three books of Kobie Kruger ( Mahlangeni, Wilderness Family, All things wild and wonderful) are beautifully written.
A must read!

I totally agree - all these books are excellent reads - you defintaltey feel that you are there when youreading them.

Kobie's simple language and sense of humour makes it appealing for all ages.

Wish she had more books.

Somebody please kick me
I saw both Mahlangeni and All things wild and wonderful in the bookshop over here but only bought Mahlangeni - went back there yesterday for All things wild and wonderful.. . guess what.. its gone

Oh no Try Kalahari.com, it is for sale there.

I did not realise that she had written three books. I have read Mahlangeni and All things wild and wonderful and just loved them both, I must try and find the Wilderness Family.

I managed to get a copy of "All things wild and Wonderful" - its just awesome. Almost finished it in one go.

I wonder if Kobie knows about the Forum and the fan club she has here?

I read both" Mahlangeni" and "all things wild and wonderful" when I was about 13 and loved it! I read the one coming home from kruger and finished it in the car I never knew there was a third book, does anyone know if it still in print?

I have the third book. It is a combination of the first two, mostly, and a bit extra. I am sure it is still in print.
