Rating: Summary: The Wilderness Family:At home with Africa's wildlife Review: This is such a touching story. I've dreamed of Africa as a child and now as an adult I'm still captivated, I felt as though I was watching a movie throughout this whole book.I also have a deep love of animals,so once again I was moved. I would recommend this book to all those who dream of Africa and those who will someday go there.
Rating: Summary: Day dreaming material... Review: This was a great story, seeing the world with a different perspective. Describing the pleasure of taking time to enjoy life, even if incidents did happen once in a while (her husband get bitten by a wounded adult lion), she brings us on her little piece of paradise, sharing her encounters with the local wildlife and the evolution of the family (Sandra from age 8 in the first chapter got married at about 3/4 of the book).I recommend this book to anybody who loves animals (plenty of interesting anecdotes on the animals they had to put up with), adventure (her husband's stories with the local Elephant groups are great) and the understanding of the animal's rights to be left alone in their natural habitats. Definitively 5 *big* stars
Rating: Summary: Book for the whole family, for humans. Review: Very sensitive and delicate woman beautifully writes The Wilderness Family story. It was great and refreshing reading because author does not focus on people; bookstores and libraries are full of stories about humans. This book for a change, tells us almost exclusively about animals, leaving humans as a background. I highly recommend this title to everybody, adults and children. This type of book, I can imagine, can be read loudly in front of the fireplace to the large family gathering. Kids will learn how to love all creatures: small, large, wild and domestic. For those adults having a hard time to comprehend how animals can develop and possess awareness of their own existence, Kobie Kruger delivers powerful lesson.
Rating: Summary: Incredible Read Review: You know those books where you dont want the story to end? I have just finished reading Kobie Kruger's 'The Wilderness Family' and it is just such a story. From laughter to tears, I felt all the emotions that Kobie felt, and if you are an animal lover, you will feel them too. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I am now determined to go to Africa and meet Leo the Lion one day! He has completely taken my imagination to places that I had never even thought of before, the deepest, darkest areas of Africa. And yet, he is so naive for a lion, you could be forgiven for thinking he is a dog! I was completely spellbound by the family photos included in the book - I cannot take my eyes off this wonderful animal and the obvious bond it has with all the members of its 'human family'. Read The Wilderness Family. You will not regret it!
