The stories in this book are fiction, but based on actual events experienced through years of life in Zambia. The book takes three children through adventures among wildlife in a game reserve where they encounter African animals in settings such as a camp, bush drives, a river safari, and a tree house. Photographs were taken by members of the Mitchell family over the years and illustrate the stories in the book. As they travel through sections of the game reserve, the children also engage in a scavenger hunt and solve riddles to win a surprise at the end of the book. Wishing to share the thrill of their adventures with others, the children form the Wildlife Safari Club.
