Title: Wildlife of the Okavango: Common Animals and Plants
Author: Duncan Butchart
Publisher: Struik Nature
Year: 1995/2000
126 pages
A handy quick reference, but you'll want a larger guidebook, such as Withers and Hosking's Wildlife of Southern Africa for more than casual spotting as well as for a broader swath of Botswana and surrounding areas. The photos are of adequate size and generally good quality. A notable deficit is the lack of scientific names, which are included in the index but not the text itself. Since local common names don't always match other sources, this is a significant omission.

I think my numbering is off by one book somewhere; if I can find it, I'll eventually correct it.
