Dr Allgood's pictoral and detailed account of this wonderful journey makes me long to go back to this magical place. Once I picked up the book I could not set it down until I was finished. Then I read it again. His photographers eye captured moments you only dream of. Well done!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and experiencing The Call of Africa. The descriptions of the adventures were so well documented and written with a wonderfully warm, comfortable style. It was like being on safari in bedroom slippers! The excellent photographs brought me right to the Savannah, and the other exotic locals described in this wonderful journey. The photos alone make the book worth getting! I can't wait for the DVD!

This book's gorgeous photographs, combined with the "right in the moment" style of Dr. Allgood's writing, make this a perfect "armchair trip" to Africa! I recommend it to anyone thinking about going there -- it feels as though you have good friends who've come back from their once-in-a-lifetime trip and are now sitting with you sharing amazing stories and pictures. The wildlife photos in particular are spectacular and of professional quality. The stories really make the places come alive -- this is no ordinary 'tour book'. A great gift, too, for anyone who travels, loves animals, etc.
