Cries of the Savanna: An adventure. An awakening. A journey to understanding African wildlife conservation. (African Safari Adventures)

An epic big game hunting safari. A reluctant sidekick. A journey that changed everything.

Sue Tidwell went to Tanzania enchanted by African wildlife and deeply uneasy about hunting it. As a non-hunter, she never imagined she would be tagging along on her husband’s three-week big game safari in remote Africa, much less tracking Cape buffalo, one of Africa’s most dangerous game animals, through tall grass or waking in the middle of the night to the warning: “Honey, get ready to run.”

But what began as discomfort and skepticism slowly turned into curiosity. Through her boots-on-the-ground experiences and the people of Masimba Camp, Sue came face-to-face with realities she had never before considered. In a land as breathtaking as it is unforgiving, she began to see African wildlife, wildlife conservation, and survival through a very different lens.

Told with humor, honesty, vivid detail, and more than ninety photos and illustrations, Cries of the Savanna is a powerful safari memoir that invites readers into an Africa few outsiders ever truly know. Through the eyes of a greenhorn encountering both its beauty and its harsh truths for the first time, this true story brings to life the people, animals, and complicated realities that reshaped one woman’s understanding forever.

For readers who love adventure, wildlife conservation, and true stories that challenge assumptions, Cries of the Savanna is an unforgettable journey into the heart of wild Africa.
