Description
Following on from the highly acclaimed 'All the Way Home', here is a brand new volume of unforgettable adventures from Richard and Bookey Peek's wildlife sanctuary amongst Zimbabwe's ancient Matobo Hills. Packed with anecdote and adventure, 'Wild Honey' leads us back to the Stone Hills sanctuary, where comedy, tragedy and the extraordinary antics of the most misunderstood animal in the world make every day unforgettable. In these troubled times, Stone Hills has become more than a sanctuary. As thousands of farms all over Zimbabwe are invaded, often violently, under the government's disastrous land policy, Stone Hill is now an island rocked by the turbulence that surrounds it. How much longer can they hold on? After an idyllic childhood in the Bvumba Mountains and ten years travelling the world, Bookey Peak became a lawyer, a profession she was only too happy to leave for a life in the bush. Like her husband, Richard, she is a professional safari guide, and was the winner of the prestigious Africa Geographic Travel Writer of the Year Award in 2003. --- Richard Peek was born in Zimbabwe and raised on a farm in Mashonaland. After obtaining a degree in zoology, he spent 14 years in the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Management as a game ranger and then as an ecologist. He later became curator of mammals at the National Museum of Natural History. The winner of two Agfa photographic awards, Richard's work has been published in magazines, calendars, travel brochures and books. His documentary, 'Honey Badger: Raising Hell', has been distributed internationally by National Geographic. - from Amzon
