Visiting South African game reserves is, for most, all about ticking off the Big Five. Not for Justin Fox. He embarks on a humorous, quirky, frustrating journey in search of South Africa’s most elusive mammals, the ‘Impossible Five’: Cape mountain leopard, aardvark, pangolin, riverine rabbit and naturally occurring white lion. Besides animals, the book is peopled with a lovable cast of eccentric characters and provides compelling insights into wild South Africa.
