'Take Me On Safari: A Family Affair' is a compelling and one of a kind chronicle of a husband, wife, their teenage son, young daughter, and 'grand mom' on safari in rural South Africa. This is the unforgettable memoir of the Mauro family, swept from their daily routines in suburbia U.S.A. and thrust into the center of adventure, drama and suspense in a remote corner of the Dark Continent. The experience strengthened family bonds, exposed them to the wonders of an ancient land and laid witness the timeless rituals of wildlife. This uniquely written account also includes the unedited thoughts of family members as taken from their diaries. The book is more than an sequential accounting of a family's journeys in the Northern Province of South Africa. It is living testimony that a safari can be a catalyst that deepens the bonds of family and supports the wholesome values and ethics held by parents throughout the world. According to the author 'a safari is something much less than an arena for machismo but rather a voyage for the soul'. He continues, '... because of a need to share this truth as evidenced by my family's experience I felt a responsibility to write this book'. Those that have enlisted the event know that a safari brings modern man within proximity to reasonably glimpse the life of primitive man. It is a way to transport oneself as far as possible from the information driven and over-regulated new age in which we live to the stark, uninhibited and impulsive ways of ever-present wildlife. It can move us from a reality defined by the pillars of logic to a place where instinct governs survival and has done so since the dawn of time. The book gives numerous examples of the safari testing the mettle of one's character. It lays bare a multitude of uncensored thoughts and emotions ranging from fatigue, boredom, disappointment, fear and sadness to understanding, euphoria, pride, awe, excitement and surprise - all of which we
