The author has a photo gallery on his website, which is terrific. http://www.deonmeyer.com/xtra/xtra_safari.html . I was surprised, originally, at the idea of a rehabilitation center for vultures, probably the ugliest birds in creation, but when I discovered the reason (the wanton killing of vultures for body parts because they are believed to ward off certain kinds of evil) and the fact that the killing of vultures has led to the spread of disease in wildlife sanctuaries because the vultures are not there to dispose of the carrion before disease can spread, it all made sense. Best, Mary

I’ve posted over 1,000 reviews for Amazon and this is the only thriller that I’ve rated a ‘5’. I loved the character-driven nature of this book. Often, thrillers are full of actions and the characters are two-dimensional. Not in Blood Safari. The characters of Lemmer, Emma and Jacobus really stood out for me. I purchased all of his other books and they are on my tbr list.
