The book—for those of you who just tuned in via Warren-telegraph—is called Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik. It's me going from Cape Town to Cairo in 2001, over 4 months. I sneak in bits from Africa, 2005, when I can, and actually start it with Curse of the Hippo.
What is a dik-dik? It's an animal, a chihuahua-sized antelope. And I didn't stalk it so much as it stalked me.

The Hall of Horns at the Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio has a mounted dik-dik head. I always thought "Oooh! Mighty hunter!" when I saw it.
Sorry. I'm in Texas now, thinking Texas thoughts. I should probably go find some Chinese food or something to cure myself
Wow, your new book is already listed on Amazon!
The dik-dik is really cute.
