Catherine Ngarachu’s “50 Top Birding Sites in Kenya” (published by Penguin Random House South Africa) is the first detailed guide to the country’s best birding sites. Among the many options, there are shorter highlight guides, as well as various wildlife-watching safari guides. Each site gets from 2 to 5 pages (but mostly 3-4).

When was the last time you chose a book by its covers?
