African Daydreams

Colin Nott’s love for his homeland, Zimbabwe, her people and its wildlife, shines through every page of this memoir. Moving from the magical, sparkling waters of the Zambezi River to the secret folds of the imposingly beautiful hills and valleys of the Matopos Game Park during his time as a ranger, Colin transports you on a journey that will remain with you long after his story is told. Experience the adrenaline highs of tracking rhino and their poachers through head-high golden grass, as well as the nerve-wracking experiences of the anti-poaching team flying in a doorless helicopter over Matabeleland. Roll in the mud with Colin’s wife, Cheryl, as she teaches rescued baby rhino Samantha how to protect her skin from the sun. Join Colin as he moves from ranger to safari operator with comical stories of success and failure. This book details a unique time and way of life, with all its joys and sorrows.
