When Greg Rasmussen crashed his plane on the African savanna, he was at the mercy of boiling skies and savage wild animals. He survived ... would YOU?

Safari guide Phil West imparts the secrets of survival on the African savanna. At age 30, Phil is already one of Africa's most respected trackers and guides. Trekking through hazardous bush terrain in northern Kenya, Phil gets up close and personal with lions, cobras, rhinos and elephants. He shows how to survive — and avoid — such encounters.

Here on the savanna, the weather is just as terrifying as the wildlife. If you make the wrong decisions, dehydration can kill you within hours. Phil reveals the professional tracker's tricks for finding water, food and shelter in this fearsome terrain — and how to keep your nerve when confronted with the terrors of the African night.
