Bond's knowledge of the Swahili language, local culture and even the wildlife result in what may be one of the most realistic portrayals of Africa yet . . . Bond's specialty in producing thrillers that editorialize human weakness and bring to light pressing world problems shines in The Last Savanna.  Dynamic, heart-breaking and timely to current events, Bond's latest book is a must-read." - YAHOO REVIEWS “Mike Bond’s The Last Savanna is shot through with images of the natural world at its most fearsome and most merciful. With his weapons, man is a conqueror – without them he is a fugitive in an alien land. Bond touches on the vast and eerie depths that lie under the thin crust of civilization and the base instinct within man to survive – instincts that surpass materialism. A thoroughly enjoyable read that comes highly recommended.” (Nottingham Observer)   “A powerful love story set in the savage jungles and deserts of East Africa.” (Daily Examiner)   “A manhunt through crocodile-infested jungle, sun-scorched savanna, and impenetrable mountains as a former SAS man tries to save the life of the woman he loves but cannot have.” (Evening Telegraph)   “Pulsating with the sights, sounds, and dangers of wild Africa, its varied languages and peoples, the harsh warfare of the northern deserts and the hunger of denied love.” (Newton Chronicle)   “A gripping thriller from a highly distinctive writer.” (Liverpool Daily Post)   “Exciting, action-packed . . . A nightmarish vision of Africa.” (Manchester Evening News)   “The imagery was so powerful and built emotions so intense that I had to stop reading a few times to regain my composure.” (African Publishers’ Network)   “An unforgettable odyssey into the wilderness, mysteries, and perils of Africa... A book to be cherished and remembered.” (Greater London Radio)   “The central figure is not human; it is the barren, terrifying landscape of Northern Kenya and the deadly creatures who inhabit it.” (Daily Telegraph)   “An entrancing, terrifying vision of Africa. A story that not only thrills but informs... Impossible to set aside or forget.” (BBC)   “The thrill of the chase when the prey is man – the only decent prey.” (The Times) Read more About the Author Called "master of the existential thriller" by BBC, "one of America's best thriller writers" by Culture Buzz, Mike Bond is a best-selling novelist, ecologist, and war and human rights journalist.

However, The Last Savannah was just too depresding and I couldn't continue past the first third of the book. While the story is both relevant and truthful, the main character was depressing. I think the story would have been better if the author would not have dwelt so much on the depression of the main character and instead focused on the task the ranger and helpers were trying to accomplish, saving the elephants. Also, the author ended the story leaving the reader without hope for improvement of the situation. Yes, not wanting to continue a depressing book, I did page through, skimming to the end, so know how it ended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprise! *by S***N on December 6, 2018* It started out like a novel/story about the African Savanna and animals. This really drew me into the story, but too soon the author drew humans into the story. It was still interesting, as he described the land, some cultures, and animals. But, the ending of the story is what surprised me the most. Some how I was expecting death and/or murder and even a sexual encounter or so, but the ending was not at all what I expected.I won't go into it. You'll have to read it for yourself. I believe the ending will surprise you, too.I did noticed or I should say felt that the author has encountered the sadness and disappointments in his own life. I could be very wrong, but that is what I felt or rather believed while reading the story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Interesting Read. *by R***H on September 4, 2018* Story is told from the perspective of many sides of life in Africa. From the white farmer/soldier to elephant poachers, to Kenyan officials, it at times makes sudden jumps in perspective. It examines the complexities of life in Africa with various cultures coming into conflict. It is more than a mystery or cops and robbers story. It tells the story of survival in the desert, the poaching of elephants, the changes in Africa. At times the symbolism and background tend to slow the story more than I would have liked. Lots of descriptions of the area. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/180021890-the-last-savanna-paperback-march-6-2014](https://www.desertcart.it/products/180021890-the-last-savanna-paperback-march-6-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
