I only know the southern african version - and it certainly creates a market segment for itself by including so many more species and regions than other competing guides, but if you are only going to southern Africa (South Moz, Zim, Botsw, Nam, Swazi, SA, Lesotho) then I believe the Sasol guide (sinclair, hockey & tarboton) completely outstrips the former in practically every way. Two other great sA bird books are Newman's birds of southern Africa, and the field guide version of Roberts: the "Roberts Field Guide" by Hugh Chittendon Happy birding Dale Thanks for the reviews BirdFreaks.
