===============================================================================
01.) INTRODUCTION G0100
===============================================================================
Welcome to the 'Afrika' guide for the Playstation 3. This game is also known as
'Hakuna Matata' in Asia.
Suggestions, comments or errors - email me about it. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
02.) BASICS G0200
===============================================================================
This game is all about exploring, shooting photos of animals and scenery as
well as other related tasks such as recording animal sounds and collecting
artifacts. It can be tedious and time-consuming to fulfill mission objectives
but if you play as the game intended you will usually progress steadily and
always have something on your hands. There are no guns in the game by the way,
donât even ask. Your weapon of choice is a camera.
Roadmap: G0210
````````
Missions are given to you are the email screen with is accessible from your
laptop at the base camp. At the start of the game you are given the mission to
photograph every kind of animal. This mission never goes away even if you
complete the animal encyclopedia (called Field Guide at the laptop) these
photos fill. While you can always freely explore the area after the beginning
introduction tours, you should always look out for animal types including their
male, female and infant versions. As the game goes on, new animals will be
added to existing areas (the game will kind of tell you about it once and there
are sometimes hint emails, but often you are not told). What your other concern
should be is always having missions aside from this one in your screen. You can
get these by three ways:
* Send photos of animals; these animals will usually have a mission that is
unlocked once you have discovered it, although that does not mean this is
the only way to unlock the mission - just that it will unlock faster. Some
missions require you to spot it first and submit for Mission 001 before a
follow-up mission drops into your inbox.
* Trigger a scene. This is usually done while exploring and you come across
something unusual in the field. This tends to have been unlocked before by
completing other missions.
* Complete missions. As you complete one, another one usually unlocks. This
will be your most common continuance.
You always have to sleep after completing missions to receive new email the
next day.
If you ever find yourself lacking missions to do, you have not explored well
enough and have not submitted pictures of animals for the first mission. There
is always something to do in the area, even if it is an annoying mission you
are struggling to complete. You do not necessarily have to complete a mission
to progress as the game gives you enough leeway to continue eventually if you
have done enough. The "!" missions are usually vital to progress though.
Aside from the unique first mission there are two kind of missions. The normal
kind that can freely do on your own time and submit whenever you want, and the
kind of mission you have to accept to activate. The latter kind will have a
white exclamation mark in your inbox and once accepted will have a red tick
next to it. Big Game missions count to the latter kind of missions, too. If you
do not active the mission from the email screen you will usually not be able to
complete the mission. For example, if the mission asks to photograph an ostrich
dance, you have to accept the mission for then and only then will the male
ostrich do a dance in their areas. After the mission is complete you will never
see the ostrich dance again either. You also cannot replay missions thus once
you have had the chance to submit a photo you will be stuck with the result.
You can replay Big Game hunts from the safari menu.
Speaking of results, submitting photos gives you an evaluation grade which
consists of four criteria:
1. Angle. As far as I understand, straight pictures are always better than an
animal at ~45 degrees. This gets more complicated with animals at low
ground at in the air but to be honest you can often not do much about
the angle.
2. Target: Did you get your objective into the picture well, is it partly
hidden or full of other animals on the side?
3. Distance. The further you are away the worse your grade. Once you get better
equipment you can zoom in really far and make it appear like you
are so very close, but you are still penalized for being too far
away because I think the game knows you are have super zoom now.
You can also get a bad evaluation from zooming in too close of
course, which tends to just happen for rushed photos you are just
happy to have at all (I'm looking at you, angry zebra!)
4. Technique: No idea how to get this better. I played around with the options
for the camera but it always turned out to be random results.
The best and highest grade is A (sorry, no S grade here) and the lowest is a D.
Your grade impacts the amount of money you get for the photo, with only as
little as 30% sometimes given to you as reward. If you fail the mission, this
screen will tell you what you did wrong, such as "not in portrait mode" or
"failed to spot animal x". In these examples, the former means you took the
picture holding the controller wrong, with the latter meaning that the picture
does not contain the animal because it is simply not there or the picture is
unclear. The game does not even keep a score of the evaluations past this
screen so trying harder is not that useful, and money is given to you aplenty.
I think even scoring all Ds will pay for all the goodies in the shop
eventually.
The amount of money you get from a mission also depends on its difficulty.
Frankly this is not a sign of how tricky it is to photograph but often just a
measure of how hard it is to find the objective. Sometimes I get the feeling
that a) the game wants to throw money at you by making the rank higher and b)
the game wants to intimidate the player with the amount of cameras (stars).
Almost all Big Game hunts are easy to trigger and once they are ongoing the
chances to snap photos is very high. I do not think the developers gave it much
thought and really just wanted to make the money flow in steadily.
Money is spent on items in the shop, including a highly useful camp tent and
photo memory, and a less than useful photo frame. Money is also spent on camera
equipment and lenses. These are expensive but always worth upgrading (I would
not use the most expensive lens though, it has no zoom capabilities!). You
should have enough money to buy when they become available as the better camera
equipment makes taking photos such much easier afterwards. The investment is
worth it alone, so if you think you are low on money (you really should not be
unless maybe you never try Mission 001) then hold on buying useless junk like
picture frames or jeep paint jobs at this point. You can always buy it again
later in the game as you are given way too much money then.
You start the game at Base Camp, your starting point for every safari unless
you camped out on the field. Here all the options for your base camp
operations:
* Bookshelf: View safari log, camera manual, and magazines feature your photos.
* Photo Frame: Photos can be displayed here. (Must be bought from the shop
first)
* Map: View a map of the location you've explored.
* Bed: Sleep until the next day.
* Partner: Talk to your partner who may know something useful, but most of the
time not. Incidentally you can find the tour guide outside the camp
during certain times of the game but his tips are not much better.
* Laptop PC: This is a vital piece of equipment. Check your inbox daily,
transfer photos or view your photo gallery, shop for stuff, read
the field guide and save the game.
* Camera: View cameras and lenses.
* Tools: View equipment and items.
* Exit: Leave base camp.
Your main portion of the game is spent traveling from base camp where you read
your email and stock up on new stuff, to traveling to the area of the mission.
The trek can be bumpy and annoying, I know, but you have to accept that is the
way to do it. If you take too long to explore the day will eventually end (I
think it is 30 minutes if you just stay in the same area). Driving between
areas will speed up the day a little. Once the sun has set you return to base
automatically without having to drive there. Alternatively you can just press
Triangle and select 'End Safari' to return to the base camp. Once you bought a
camp you can choose to camp out in the area and continue the next time, saving
you time trekking back here the next day. These are unfortunately the only
shortcuts the game offers you.
There is, however, a nifty Field Menu that enables you to change camera, view
mission objectives and check your photos while out on the field. Bring it up
with the Triangle button when out on safari. The Photos option lets you view
all photos on your current memory that is located in the camera, not the photos
you have already transferred (i.e. moved) to the laptop back at base camp. The
camera option lets you change camera and lens while outside. This is handy
because you might want a better zoom than expected. I suppose all this
equipment is back in your truck somewhere. Use the Missions option to see all
available missions just as saw coming in your inbox, only this time they are
displayed simpler an with more mission objective logic, e.g. must use trap cam.
Tools merely lets you look at what you tools you have, there is as usual no
interaction with there. End Safari you know already, it lets you warp back to
base instantly (only works if you are not currently under alert mode).
What I tend to do is set a safari itinerary for myself that day. I check what
missions I have, accept one that needs to and note the rest that does not need
to be accepted to work during daytime (for night missions you really almost
have to complete it one by one). Next I look what regions these are and maybe
just concentrate on nearby ones, as driving around from one area to another can
not only be annoying but also be very time consuming. Plan a route that is best
to accomplish all during that day and go on tour. Sometimes you will find that
it does not always work out as planned, just ignore it and move on with the
next one. You are not forced to complete all quickly but during my later stages
when I got used to the game more I knocked out 2-3 email missions per day
easily, almost always cleaning out my inbox in the process. Open the safari
menu (Triangle) and check the Mission option to see what there is to do. This
screen does not show you which missions need to be accepted to get triggered
though, it does show you what the mission requires (i.e. using a trap cam,
night photo and so on) instead which is rather useful.
Cameras come in many forms. There is the default camera you hold in your hand
and this one can be fully upgraded to better (Sony) stuff as you play more.
Lens upgrades are vital in the game. This will be your main "weapon". Pressing
Triangle in camera view will give you options for this camera, with consecutive
shots being the most useful one in Big Game missions. For some missions this is
not good enough, and you would be crazy to try and sneak up on an animal like
the crocodile to snap some photos with that thing. Not to worry as the game
offers you the appropriate tools when you need it. The first such camera is the
trap set. The trap can be placed anywhere the icon is shown, which is at pretty
much any key location. Set it down, aim it at the spot and ensure the zoom is
correct too. You can also position yourself into the picture later, and even
hold a pose by pressing a D-Pad button while standing still (yeah, James is not
that useless to have around after all). Trap cams are usually done for animals
that are shy and hard to capture on film, and adding yourself into the picture.
RC (Remote Control) cameras are used to get close to the animal without walking
there yourself. It can easily get destroyed though.
I highly recommend you save the game regularly to avoid redoing annoying
things. The save is huge (367MB or something) and will take a while but it is
worth it.
As you progress the game there will be more animals showing up and eventually
you will have seen them all. Some rare ones are only easily available in
missions so be careful about losing the only photographic evidence you have at
this point, saving you time not having to track it down the hard way later.
That is almost all there is to the game, with some special missions such as
collecting evidence aside.
Game Options G0220
````````````
The very first menu you see just gives you the choice to start a new game or
continue a saved game. After all this loading you press START and then there is
more loading.
The next menu is what I call the proper main menu. Here you get three options
and their sub-options:
Safari
Start Safari
Photo Gallery: View photos you have taken on your safari.
Big Game Trophy: Replay Big Game trophies as much as you want.
Geo Afrika: Learn all about Africa and its animals.
AFRIKA Field Guide: This is the same as accessible from your laptop, read
about all the animals you have discovered and view their
3D models.
National Geographic Library: View photos and videos provided by National
Geographic. More unlock by discovered more
animals.
AFRIKA Viewer: View the habitats of AFRIKA.
Options
Music Volume: 0 to 10...I suggest turning it low as it is very repetitive.
Midnight mode: This setting can only be used with a surround sound setup. By
turning it on you get a nice feeling of being on safari.

03.) MISSIONS G0300
===============================================================================
Missions come with exclamation marks means you should accept it to make it the
current active mission. If you select another one then it will not be active
any longer. Missions with an exclamation mark will have a trigger to ensure you
can take the photo and make it easier to fulfill the mission objective. For
example, waiting for a giraffe to drink water can take forever without having
it active. You can only have one mission active at any time. Other missions
such as taking photos of a topi's side can be done at any time. Special
missions include Big Game hunting which are sequences that allow you to take
photos during it.

| Mission No.001: Important: Wildlife research request |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 3,000 (per animal incl. type) |
| Location: multiple |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This mission is the first you get and ends only when field guide is complete
although the mission will still be in your inbox then too. It practically
counts as complete by submitting just 1 photo. You should be taken photos of
each new animal you encounter (in this case you shouldn't care too much about
your photo skills). Submitting a new animal will fill up the Field Guide in
the laptop menu but also triggers new missions to appear in the future. Some
missions only trigger this way, some will pop up faster but eventually pop up
anyway. You only get paid for the first time you submit a photo of a new
animal but do not let this stop you from submitting photos you are not sure
about. I personally took a photo of a bird and was not sure about it,
submitted it and it turned out to be a new one I had not taken before. In the
air they often look alike. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: ALWAYS SUBMIT NEW
ANIMALS AS YOU GET THEM! New animals start to appear in the old previous as
you progress through the game, and new areas will always have a lot of new
photos to snap. If you do not snap new animals you might eventually run out
of missions in your inbox. I do not play that way so I never noticed it but I
can see it happening.
Most of the animals are not too hard to find, with most coming from mission
objectives. Always submit the pictures after a mission. You can use the
checklist below to keep track. Your main concern should be mission-only
animals like the crocodile, but the babies can also be annoying to trigger.
Keep in mind that they do not always spawn, some only spawn after you
progressed far enough and some might only appear night/morning. If an animal
does not show for a while you might want to try again a few days later (in-
game days, that is) or what I found works is to restart the game. Random?
Maybe, but with frustration trying to find a specific type of animal at a
very high you might just want to try that too. A few of these locations have
question marks since I am unsure if they are at that spot.

| Mission No.002: Snap a Thomson's Gazelle! |
| Research Req: Herd of Thomson's gazelles |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Umbra Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
You can find many of these Thomson's gazelle herds on the Duma Steppe and at
this point in the game. If the game complains about your photo is probably
because you shot too few in one go. I had 3~4 in my photo which I suppose
constitutes as a herd.

| Mission No.003: Snap a Hippo Yawning! |
| The ultimate big mouth... You know who! |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Hippo Pool |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
The Hippo Pool on the Duma Steppe is not far off the base camp. Hide in the
bushes nearby and make sure the hippo is not noticing you because this is the
first lethal meet in the game (ok, you will not die but get knocked out). You
get plenty of warning anyway but when taking the photo you want to make sure
you they are very relaxed in the pool. Incidentally is the probably the first
photo shoot in the game that can take a while to complete and seems a little
more difficult than many missions to come. Just watch the hippos sleep and
eventually one will yawn too. It's easier than this description makes it
sound.

| Mission No.004: Snap a giraffe drinking water! |
| Another photo request just came in |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Awali Oasis |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
After you accept the mission, drive to the Awali Oasis at the northwest side.
Hide in a bush and soon enough a giraffe will come towards the pool of water
and start drinking. Should that not occur you forgot to accept the mission,
you always have to accept the missions with a "!" - final reminder. If the
angle is not good right now then move around, and if you scare the giraffe
away then you can be sure another one will follow soon enough.

| Mission No.005: Snap the Cheetah Hunting! |
| Big Game No.01: Cheetah Hunting |
| Hunting at 60mph |
| Difficulty: **** |
| Reward: 40,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Mtoto Hill |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Your first Big Game and this one is also quite good, and do not let the
difficulty rating put you off either. The big game hunts are hard to fail.
After a while you will find there are no missions and stepping outside will
take you on a ride with the driver. He will spot the cheetah. This is the
requirement for the mission to show up the next day. Activate it and ask the
driver to get there. It will not be though, thus after driving around he will
tell you to look around with the binoculars. A long round trip later and you
will be back at the ant hill and spot the cheetah with binoculars. If you do
not use the binoculars you will not see it. The driver will get closer and
the sequence starts. Keep shooting photos while the cheetah hunts and this is
will be an easy photo shoot. After the shoot you can find the cheetah with
cubs on a hill nearby should you want to take a photo for the Field Guide
now, although there will be many opportunities for the cubs later in the
game. The driver will drive past it but the shot will not get much better
than this for a while.
This unlocks the Kiboko Swamp.

| Mission No.006: Snap a Topi Side View |
| Seeking materials for class slideshow |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Central |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Topi's are common on the Duma Steppe so hide nearby a few and one will surely
walk by sideways soon enough. This is easy.

| Mission No.007: Snap a zebra's face! |
| Get a shot of those myriad stripes |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Awali Oasis |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Go to the Awali Oasis and stay in the bushes. Wait for one of the zebras to
walk towards the bush and if it gets close enough take the photo. I can take
a while for the best shot moment because your camera is still kind of lousy
at this point.
¤¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¤
| Mission No.008: Snap a Vervet Monkey! |
| Tree monkey with a black face |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Base Camp |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
These monkeys are outside the base camp and thus super easy to find. The
requirement actually says the monkey should be climbing but what you are
looking for is just a monkey sitting in the tree. I told you it was easy, but
it's even easier once you drive yourself because then they not not scare away
so easily.

| Think you could get a giraffe at eye level? |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Awali Oasis |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission or else the giraffe will never get close to the tree.
Drive to the Awali Oasis and climb the bent tree at the north side. Wait for
the giraffe to appear and eat the leaves. Take the photo. Easy.
If you can, make a photo from up here with several different animals in the
same shot, it will be used in a later mission and will save you a trip.

| Mission No.012: Snap the boss African elephant! |
| Need a shot of the herd's top trumpet |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Koboko Swamp - Center |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission and move out to the Kiboko Swamp. Your destination is the
northeast island with the anthill where a cut scene will take over. Position
yourself in front of the "boss" and take a good photo when it is close
enough. The boss would be the one with the largest trunks. It can be a little
tricky to figure out from a distance.

| Mission No.013: Snap African Buffalo! |
| Photo for "Nature Power" magazine |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - West |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This mission requires a simple shot of a buffalo which can be found in the
Kiboko Swamp. You get a magazine cover for it and they will print pretty much
anything (even if your photo sucks).
¤¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¤
| Mission No.014: Snap a baby elephant! |
| Big Game No.02: Elephant Nurturing |
| Looking for material for a new picture book |
| Difficulty: **** |
| Reward: 40,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - Water Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission and drive to the Kiboko Swamp. Climb the Water Tree to
start the scene. Take a photo as the baby elephant gets pushed up the slope
for most points. Submit this photo for Mission 001 as well. This mission is
four stars but not hard at all.
This opens up the next area - Choroa Gorge.
¤¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¤
| Mission No.015: Snap an Impala Harem! |
| Research Req: Impala harem |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - South |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Impala herds can be found at the Kiboko Swamp and they do indeed travel as a
harem, i.e. one male with the horns and several females. They do not always
stick together and sometimes the all-important male wanders away a bit but
you just need it and at least two females in the same picture to make it
count as a valid photo. This might take some endurance because the herd tends
to spread around on the field.
¤¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¤
| Mission No.016: Snap a cattle egret and elephant! |
| The African elephant's avian sidekick |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - Water Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
You probably have these two together on a photo when you first took an
elephant photo far away but that will only give you ~5,000 for this mission
for such a lousy pic. It will pass it and save you a trip back but you will
be heading back anyway and a better view is always welcome. Once the elephant
herd has moved you can get close-up shots, and a better lens helps too.
¤¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¤
| Mission No.017: Snap a crowned crane! |
| Snap us one of those stunning crowns |
| Difficulty: * |
| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - south & northeast |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Once you find a crowned crane (they fly around in the Kiboko Swamp) you will
get the mission for a close-up with the crown. They tend to sit only rarely
but I found them just after entering from the south side, although they also
show up in the northeast area on the island with the anthill (west of the
starting location of the elephant herd). For the photo you need a good shot
of the crown which is only visible when sitting. I suggest waiting for a lens
upgrade because they will fly away rather quickly and this can be annoying to
track down early in the game.

| Thanks for the other day! |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Anthill Area |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission to unlock the ostrich stance. Drive to the Choroa Gorge
and a bunch of ostriches are already near the entrance from the east side.
Hide in the bushes and let them come over (they probably ran away as you
approached with the jeep). As you leave them alone you will soon see the male
ostriches do a courtship dance which is easy to identify by the head and wing
movements.

| Mission No.022: Snap an elephant showering! |
| African elephant cooling off in the water |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Polepole Falls |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Once accepted, make your way to Choroa Gorge and the Polepole Falls to be
exact, the northern part with the waterfall. Wait for an elephant to shower
(do not get too close) and also you have to change your camera to portrait
mode (this is what they mean with vertical in the email) by holding your
controller sideways. There are a few missions that require this so pay
attention when taking photos. This mission is not very hard but I think if
the elephants spot you they will just stand around like idiots until you
return to the area. Also you can find an agama on a rock nearby leading into
the falls, used for another mission later as well as Mission 001. Keep that
around.

| Mission No.023: Stake out a meerkat and snap a photo! |
| Cute little animal request |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Anthill Area |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Drive to the Choroa Gorge and you should spot a meerkat at the northeast part
of the map just north of where you enter (Anthill Area). The scene is the
first step to unlock this mission. Once you are back at the camp your partner
will point out that we need better equipment. Next day you will have the trap
cam so head out for another try. Return to the Anthill Area and a tutorial
will start, walk towards the spot indicated by the icon and place a camera,
position the view and zoom so it targets the top of the hill and step away
(not too far else you cannot take a picture or see the merkaat clearly to
check what it is doing, but in my game the merkaats took forever to stand on
the hill from the default position). You do not just want a picture - you
want one with one standing. This can take a bit longer than expected so just
wait a bit more. Retrieve the camera and check out the photos before heading
back.

| Mission No.024: Snap African wild dogs hunting! |
| Big Game No.03: Wild Dogs Hunting |
| The endangered African wild dog |
| Difficulty: **** |
| Reward: 40,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Central |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
During one of your missions to Choroa Gorge your partner will point some wild
dogs hunting prey. This is the beginning of the mission. Wait for the email
to arrive and accept it. Return to Choroa Gorge and soon a cut scene will
trigger. The hunt will be a little long and you only want to start paying
attention when the lone impala is running towards the chasm. The best shot is
when the impala is just taken down.
Submitting this should unlock Lake Heroe the next day. Climb the mountain
after you arrive there, place the trap cam at the very end and take a picture
of the lake scenery with you in the picture (this will be used in another
mission later and you do not want to come here again, really). Also notice
the animals sitting on the rocks along the path as you climb up. Useful for
Mission 001. In the future you can also drive here from the south side coming
from Duma Steppe's northwest exit, and in case you did not notice you can
drive around the east side where there is a lake which leads back to said
Duma Steppe. Go explore! (Driving around the east side is going to take a lot
of your time in the game, why couldn't they just design a natural bridge or
make a small gap at the western edge that one can cut across...jeez)

| Reward: 10,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Sand Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Hartebeests are found in the Choroa Gorge and tend to just walk around by
themselves. Wait in a bush nearby until it walks by but if you do not care
much about your points then just position yourself in its path from a
distance and zoom in as best as you can, making sure you snap the face.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
These can be found at the Polepole Falls in Choroa Gorge and you might have
taken a picture of it while staking out the elephants. They are very colorful
but the rock still makes you look around a bit. Any picture will do here.
Keep the picture for later on as you will need it again, and submit it for
Mission 001 too.

When you get the mission you will also get an email about the microphone
arriving at the same time. Activate the mission and go to the Kiboko Swamp.
Get near the elephants and a scene will play. Walk towards the elephants and
start recording with O. If you are too far away you will not hear anything
and waste time. If the tape runs out before you get a "Success" message you
have to retry the next day. It took me a while because I think I was not
close enough, or pointed at the wrong animals.

You have to accept this mission first, then head to Lake Heroe and snap a
photo when it takes off. This can take a while to get right so I suggest to
make sure you took it correctly by snapping several before going back to Base
Camp.

Accept the mission to make it appear (you also first need to have been on Mt.

usual and any picture will do. Also remember that the baby can be submitted
for Mission 001, and the baby can be tough to get again later in the game.

| Difficulty: **** |
| Reward: 40,000 |
| Location: Lake Heroe - northeast |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
An email will get this started. Drive around the northeast part of Lake Heroe
for a cutscene. There is nothing else for today so return back to base for
sleeping. If I am not mistaken you can also get a new camera at this point so
you might want to purchase it. The next day you can come to this spot for the
actual hunt. The best shot is once again just when the leopard makes a kill.
You want to aim slightly left to where the impala is grazing as the action
will start up soon and not last too long.
This unlocks Kiwanja Plain. Go explore (with your new lens no less)!

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Once you get a report about a herd collecting at the river you should head
there once again (you already know about this from the tour of Kiwanja Plain).
Drive to the ramp down the river and a scene will play. Head back to the base
camp for now. The next day you get the email to return here yet AGAIN and this
time you can finally finish the hunt. Accept the mission and take pictures as
usual.
After this your partner should tell you about animals in other areas you may

| Mission No.041: Snap a reticulated giraffe and the sunset! |
| A single shot that symbolizes Africa |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Simba Kopje |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Go to the Kiwanja Plain and wait for dusk. Switch to vertical shot by holding
the controller sideways and snap a photo with a reticulated giraffe walking
along the plain. This can be boring to wait out and once the sun sets you
want to get a move on taking the picture as soon you will be asked to camp or
return to base. A full day waiting around takes around 25~30 minutes. Keep
this picture as you need it again later for a similar mission.

| Island of rock towering over the plain |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Simba Kopje |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission and head outside. James, the guide, will help you driving
to Kiwanja Plain and point out a few more locations you could not find
yourself. James asks you to take pictures of each Kopje but you are wasting
your time really, so just head back to the jeep immediately and continue.
What the email tries to hint is that it actually wants Simba Kopje and James
will explain the name's meaning. After you finally arrive at the Simba Kopje
you should place your trap cam nearby, point at the gigantic Kopje on the
other side of the lake and position yourself into the picture. A good spot is
the small rock on the edge of the lake just across it. Head back to the jeep
to go back home.

| Croc job for our star photographer! |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Mamba Beach |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Mamba Beach has a crocodile once the mission has been accepted. Once you
arrive there (it is in the northeast if you have not been here before) a
scene will show the croc. Use the RC car you just got to get the camera close
and take a picture of its face. Also submit this for Mission 001 because the
crocodile can be extremely tricky to find again later in the game!!!! Don't
tell me I didn't warn you! The RC camera is a little tricky to maneuver,
especially since you are on a slope here. The croc did not attack the camera
in my playthrough but it seemed kind of vicious enough that you might bump
into it by mistake. After a few bumps the camera is damaged enough that you
have to return to base to repair it. After the photos are taken you can just
press the button to close it and it will somehow return to you automatically.

A family of warthogs will eventually show up at Kiwanja Plain (Chui Kopje).
It can take a while, for me personally I was already at the 70+ missions
before I finally managed to find the family but it will not hold up any
progress. Keep checking back while you do other things in the area and
eventually you should find them. Take a picture of a baby and at one adult
together. Submit the piglet photo for Mission 001 too.

This mission requires to have submitted the Eland prior, which can be found

the Eland correctly the first time to avoid another trip. What they want is a
picture taken from a tree, and the tree to climb is at Simba Kopje. Chase the
Eland to there with the car to complete it.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
I think you need to accept, I never checked if the paintings are there before
you get the email because it is at a location you would hardly explore. If
you accept then you get a small scene to show the location, otherwise I
suppose it is harder to find by yourself (then again, you have to be really,
really close to trigger the scene anyway but it beats looking around
forever). Drive to Choroa Gorge and drive to the north side of Dogo Rock. A
scene will show you the painting on the rock. If you do not know where Dogo
Rock is, drive to the west side of the path leading to the waterfall and you
should see a bunch of boulders together.

Accept the mission, then drive to Choroa Gorge and drive to the other side of
the tree in the middle to trigger a scene. Snap away when they hit each
other. Funny, I used to think they do this for mating... I think it is
actually also for play-fighting and just fooling around, but enough about
geography. This is an easy mission like most big game hunts.

Head over to Choroa Gorge after accepting the mission and wait for the herd
(it is near the big tree in the center of the wide area) to finally have one
eating from a bush while standing on its legs. Make sure you are looking for
the correct animal - these creatures have elegant long necks. It might take a
while to get one starting to eat but it will happen if you keep a wide view
and pay attention. They also tend to eat a while giving you plenty of time to
snap the photo.

This is the first mission for night equipment which will arrive at the same
time. Accept the mission, sleep until night (or just leave if already past
sunset) and let your partner drive until you reach the Awali Oasis. He always
takes the same route thus this can take a while. I recommend waiting a few
minutes until he reaches the right spot by taking a tea break or something as
it is seriously boring to wait around otherwise. Once you arrive there you
should be able to spot this guy easily too. Also submit this photo for
Mission 001 while you are at it. For another mission you might also want to
snap a bunch of zebras in the same picture.

If you kept the picture from the earlier sunset mission then just submit it
again for a quick finish. Otherwise go over to the Kiwanja Plain and wait for
sundown, snap the giraffe with the sun setting in the background (the sun
needs to be in the picture) and do not forget to switch to vertical portrait
mode as for all of these sunset missions.

You have driven past this many times but maybe never noticed that there is an

| Mission No.059: Snap an angry zebra! |
| Wrath of the plains zebra |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Awali Oasis |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
The most difficult mission I had so far and maybe in the entire game because
of the alert you require to raise as well as the camera issues you will most
likely have. I suspect you will have trouble with this one too. The problem
is not finding zebras because Duma Steppe has a lot and they are easy to
find, plus it is close from the Base Camp if you need to retry it many times.
The first issue is that this mission risks getting attacked. Find the zebras
and try running after a bunch until one gets mad and starts the small scene.
It is best to run into the group from the front and not right into the group
center, mainly because if you need to turn around to face a mad zebra you
might as well forget about it and try again. It will take you too long to
turn around, point the camera, adjust the zoom and get the shutter speed
right. You ideally want to face the mad zebra as soon as it is mad, and
already have your zoom kind of fitting although the zoom will not kill your
chances of getting the photo right. Quickly pull out the camera and start
shooting pictures, VERTICALLY. This means you need another half a second to
turn the camera around. The shutter speed might not be right on Auto but I
tried playing with the other settings and it only got worse so I kept trying
Auto and eventually the photo was all right. Make sure you also quickly tilt
the camera vertically though... I said it was not easy. The zebra only makes
one hoof motion and after that will attack if you wait around. Run away if
you missed the chance or took the photo because you can always try again with
this or another zebra. Do not get attacked!
I highly suggest doing this without having any other important photos in your
camera since you will lose them after the attack. Save at the Base Camp and
try going out to Awali Oasis just for this. It might be frustrating enough to
switch off the console soon.
Get this right and I congratulate you, because the rest of the game's
missions are rather easy compared to it.

You should know where the waterfall is in Choroa Gorge by now. Park your jeep
in the entrance way and move back, making sure you snap a picture with the
waterfall in the background and the jeep in the foreground. The only thing I
want to mention is that you should take care that no elephant gets too close
to the car, but you can avoid this issue by just ending the safari before
heading back to the jeep (who wants to drive all the way back from Choroa
Gorge anyway!).

There are three bones (skulls) in total. They can be found at the following

You cannot pick items up when in alert mode (not that I suspect you having
trouble with this in these locations).
* Duma Steppe - Bone Tree, just at the base of the tree.
* Kiwanja Plain - Mamba Beach, on the right side of the riverbed.
* Kiwanja Plain - Kongoti Wild, on the side of the large mud pitch (opposite
of the larger branchy log)
After you have all three, put them in the email (weird, yeah) and submit the

crowd soon but you can try to submit this one for Mission 001 nevertheless

on the left of the couple tree where they hide. After you yourself hide in
the nearby bush they will come out slowly en masse. Snap a few pictures to
make sure they are all right. You can come out from the bush and take your
own pictures but they will not count for this mission, but you can submit it

needs one of these to make a sound in the area to succeed and they should do
it rather soon after landing. This one is definitely easier than the elephant
sound recording earlier.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission and drive to Kiwanja Plain. At Chui Kopje you will trigger
a small scene showing you the footprints (this is where the hogs and
elephants like to hang out). Take a photo of the footprints in the mud.

| Mission No.081: Retrieve the attached Crittercam! |
| Crittercam retrieval |
| Difficulty: ***** |
| Reward: 100,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Simba Kopje |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This one is the first 5-star mission you had to do and unlike some 5-star
missions later this is actually a little tricky. I find this the second
hardest mission after the angry zebra but you tend not to be mauled so
quickly and you also do not need to take a picture. With the right approach
and some patience you will get this right.
Accept the mission to unlock the lioness on the Kiwanja Plain. Drive there
and watch for the spikes on your meter. It has to be high and close together
to trigger a cutscene. If you put the pedal to the metal you will not get any
signal thus it is better to just coast around. I am quite she is always found
near Simba Kopje anyway so head there first to save some time. Sneak up to
the lioness by using the bushes for cover and click the action button when
close enough to remove the camera (why not simply tranq her and do it...hmm
where is that James guy when you need him). If she spots you simply run away
and try again. I was approaching her from the bush and could press the detach
button from within and she did not see anything. Afterwards she will run
away. Pick up the dropped camera and take it back to submit. Well done. The
rest of the game is a cakewalk.

| The pangolin and its scale-covered body |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Simba Kopje |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This is a night mission. Accept to get your partner to drive around Kiwanja
Plain. Stop the car immediately and get out, turning around to face Simba
Kopje. The pangolin is near the water hole, usually at the tree you can climb
up. Do not wander too far off the car or you get hauled back. Remember to
submit for Mission 001 as well. If you did not do earlier, snap a photo for a
bunch of zebras together to save you a trip later.

| Mission No.083: Snap a stampeding herd! |
| Urgent! Publicity still for our documentary |
| Big Game No.13: Herd of Wildebeests and Zebras |
| Difficulty: **** |
| Reward: 50,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Central |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Drive to Kiwanja Plain and the scene will trigger shortly. Take pictures
while running with the herd, easy enough. I believe from the front you will
have a higher score rather than just their backsides which is why you only
get a short time at this angle. You can also find zebra calfs after the scene
if you have not already.

| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Kiwanja Plain - Simba Kopje |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
You should already have many lion cub pictures but they want RC pictures this
time. Accept the mission and drive to Simba Kopje. A scene will trigger,
place the remote camera and take some closer-up photos. Note that the cubs
will try to break the camera if you get too close.

| Mission No.085: Snap an oryx in the glow of sunset! |
| The oryx and its long horns |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Sand Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Before you get this mission you need to snap an oryx in Choroa Gorge. Check
the Sand Tree area for one. Once you have identified the oryx for Mission 001
you should receive this email the next day. You can accept this to ensure the
oryx shows up.
I actually suggest you shoot the oryx at sunset anyway so you can submit the
photo right away. Else go back and wait for sunset and take the photo in
vertical mode, making sure the sun sets in the background.

| Big Game No.14: On the Trail of an Elephant |
| Difficulty: ***** |
| Reward: 100,000 |
| Location: Choroa Gorge - Polepole Falls |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Although this is a high difficult mission you are actually being driven by
the partner and you just need to snap the elephant charging the camera, and
it is actually very, very easy to complete. The mission needs to be accepted
for you to trigger an event at Polepole Falls (that is over at Choroa Gorge
if you forgot somehow). And why are we harassing the elephant again?? For the
sake of taking pictures?! Jeez...

| Mission No.087: Snap a baobab at dusk! |
| Have any photos of a baobab? |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - Baobab Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This has to be done at dusk but do not worry about the sun setting in the
background because you are stuck on an angle with this picture. You therefore
want to combine this with something else and probably still have to wait a
long time. Drive to the trees in southwest Kiboko Swamp, set the trap cam and
climb into the hollow tree. Wait for the right moment and take the photo. Can
be boring but it is easy.

| Seeking photo that shows a baboon's reaction |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Kiboko Swamp - Fever Trees |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
These baboons are in Kiboko Swamp (Fever Trees) because you cannot snap
photos of the other ones with a remote camera. When you get close a scene
will trigger. Sneak closer to the land mass and launch the RC (because the RC
cannot cross water). Snap close-up photos but beware that they will attack
the camera if you get too close.

| Location: Lake Heroe - northeast |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
You can submit an earlier photo for this, but I THINK you will miss out on a
Big Game mission and, in turn, a trophy too! You better just drive to the
baboon area in Lake Heroe and trigger this just to get the scene. If you do
not care for trophies then ignore my warning and safe some time but I suggest
you do trigger this nonetheless (for completion sake).

| Location: Choroa Gorge - Kubwa Rock |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Go to the northeast part of Kubwa Rock (Choroa Gorge of course) to find a
place to set the trap cam. It is at the very edge of the map where there are
many small hills. Point it at Kubwa Rock and stand in the picture to make it
count. Remember this spot for later as you will probably take another picture
here.

| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - southeast |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
The black-backed jackal starts roaming around Duma Steppe after a while and
they can be found in the southeast if no rhinos are there (I think they
alternate but seem more common when this mission is available). Make sure you
take a shot from the side since they want to see the fur. This photo can also
be used for Mission 001 as usual.

| Looking for a photo of a Jackson's chameleon |
| Difficulty: ** |
| Reward: 20,000 |
| Location: Lake Heroe - northeast |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This guy might always sit on the log north of the baboon forest at Lake Heroe
though I only noticed when the mission arrived in my inbox. If you come from
the Gorge just pass the baboon trees and look left for a large log with some
moss on it. Try using your binos for the partner to point it out since its
green camouflage simply makes it hard to spot. Get close and snap a photo for
this and Mission 001. If you do not have any agama pictures left you can use
this one for another mission later.
Now for another mission: go watch some online videos of the chameleon
changing colors!

| Location: Duma Steppe - Awali Oasis |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
From Duma Steppe, drive to the entrance of Lake Heroe to trigger a scene.
Note that this will only trigger if you are not currently on another accepted
mission. You could find the warthog and snap its picture but then you miss
out on the Big Game hunt as well as trophy you get from checking it out, and
it will also not unlock in your Big Game replay menu. If you do not care for
any of this just submit the photo, else take part in the hunt. You can still
find the warthog after the mission (uh, sorry, spoilers!?) so you can snap a
better picture after the "hunt" is over. You do not even need to snap
pictures during the hunt if you do not want to.

You would never find this easily without knowing where to look. Kiwanja Plain
has this guy at the Kongoti Wild. Look near the branchy log. It will not
always be there, so use your binos to spot it. You should notice something
moving since the area is so flat.

nearby Cape Tree. Take any photo for now if you want, or try to get a close-
up of its face (straight from the front) for a later mission, saving you at
trip in the process.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Accept the mission to trigger the scene at the northeast of Duma Steppe. It
can take a while for the cubs to make a sound and their mom likes to move
around which makes the cubs follow. Just sneak after them each time and
record again.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This could be super quick for you if you did it earlier when photographing
the giraffe's face from up the tree. I had several birds in the picture and
it works, or there are usual zebras behind the giraffe too. Else head back to
the Awali Oasis at Duma Steppe and take some new shots.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
If you do not care about getting a lower evaluation but safe a trip, accept
the lion fight instead (104) and take a good close-up of the younger male as
they fight on the right side. This can also be submitted for Mission 001.
Else drive to Faru Kopje which is at the southwest of Kiwanja Plainand find
younger males. Get close enough to take a photo; however, I still think the
other way is much easier.

You should still have a photo of the agama in your collection as I pointed it

Accept the mission and head to Kiwanja Plain. This is as usual at the Simba
Kopje and as usual a scene will trigger as you get near it. Snap the fight in
progress. If you want a good photo for another mission, snap a young lion as
it gets close which happens at the right side of the area (your angle is
limited for this mission).

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
I reminded you to take this picture twice earlier so this mission really
should not need a trip. If for some reason you did not take the pictures or
lost them already, the quickest way to do this mission is as follows: start a
night safari at Kiwanja Plain and immediately stop the car, get out and turn
around. Trek around the Kopje and you will find a huge herd. You need several
zebras in the photo for it to count. Do not wander off too far from the car
but you should already have them in view before or just after the first
warning.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
If you did what I said earlier you already have a close-up from the earlier
mission. Else head back to Cape Tree (Lake Heroe) and find it again, then
sneak around until you get a front view and try to get close enough with the
zoom. If the baby is already here too then take a picture of it too (for
Mission 001 of course, have you been paying attention to this guide at
all?!), but it seems to be a common appearance later in the game.

| You're a hit! Got time for another? |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Mtoto Hill |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
As with all of these sunset photos you have to wait for the sun to set. The
photo requires that the sun is in the background and that the shot is
vertical. Wait at the north of Duma Steppe near the cheetah hangout until the
time is right and take shots. The best I found was to sit in the car near the
cheetah so it does no move around too much as it noticed the car (yet is not
running away). Not sure if I g got lucky there. There is a big game that
unlocks around this time and place so I recommend not having a mission active
in the corner of your screen around this time (it will not trigger
otherwise).

| Job: Intimate portrait of the "uncool" crowd |
| Difficulty: *** |
| Reward: 35,000 |
| Location: Duma Steppe - Bone Tree |
¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
Go to Bone Tree at Duma Steppe and set down the trap cam right next to the
carcass. For some reason the trap cam icon did not show for me many times so
try again later if the same happens to you as well. Wait for birds to come to
the carcass. You need at least one stork and another vulture in the same
picture which can be a little annoying to see from this distance. I suggest
hiding in the nearby bush and tilting the camera to see the carcass. The
birds behind the carcass (from the trap cam view) might not be in the picture
later so keep that in mind when snapping pics. Watch out for at the blue
stork. There are usually 5 to 6 birds pecking away at the remains but not
always the stork or it could be hidden from the view. Retrieve the camera and
check the photos before heading back.
One could also try this at Kiwanja Plain' Kongoti Wild since all birds are
supposed to spawn there and there is a trap cam spot near the carcass, but I
found the spawning is not as good as the Bone Tree, they will not come to
feed quickly and it is overall a longer drive to try this. Just an
interesting note I suppose.

This only unlocks after 110.
I am not sure what the email talks about with the sunlight etc, but basically
you just want to shoot a picture when it is morning. The best way is to camp
in the Lake Heroe area and then quickly drive to Dikidiki Fountain for a
picture of the small lake/fountain. If you drive from base camp it will take
you too long.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This is the third toughest mission in the game mainly because it can be
annoying.
Accept the mission and drive to Choroa Gorge. The cheetah is sitting atop of
Kubwa Rock and will trigger a scene. It is very annoying to capture this
animal and almost impossible to do so with a high evaluation grade. I suggest
you just go for a low grade by driving up to the hills on the north side
where you took a shot of the rock earlier and then take a photo from this
distance. Use the best zoom camera lens to get at least something out of it.
If the cheetah disappeared behind to the other side of the mountain you have
to wait a while or try to catch her from there, but seriously, did I say this
is annoying?
The animal is automatically added to the Field Guide.

obviously staying behind the bushes, but it should make its way around the
other side and you should sneak towards where the bushes are it came from. If
you get spotted it will run into these bushes and dash past you, giving you
the best close-up opportunity.

This is the final "!" mission of the game. You can still complete your field
guide and find the bottle after the mission is done. It is probably the
coolest mission the game has to offer. Apparently you can finish all the
other missions and complete the Field Guide before tackling this one, which
unlocks the Bottle at Polepole Falls and then keep the save to always get on
the ride whenever you feel like it without overwriting your save later. It is
not really worth it but it is nice to note.
You will automatically drive to the balloon site. Once you are in the air
will trigger the final Big Game Hunt (no need to take pictures) and also spot
the mystery creature. Snap a photo of it and submit it for mission 001 to net
a maximum of 100,000. I do not think you need money at this stage in the game
but it is interesting to note. This shot is NOT required for the Field
Guide and it will not have a picture of the animal either way!!
The game will ask you to transfer the photos and save the game now, after
which you return to the main menu. Select the Safari option again to return
back to the Base Camp with the mission complete. From here on you can
continue finding animals for the Field Guide and doing non-"!" missions you
still have in your inbox or may yet wait to receive. Save the game the usual
way from here on.

Start a night safari at Choroa Gorge, stop the car immediately and look
around for this guy. He might be in the far back with the terminate hills
(/start random trivia/ termites are NOT ants by the way /end random trivia/),
thus make sure not to run too far from the car. You can wait for it or just
use a zoom shot if you don't care too much about the grade. Submit this for

although it might not unlock if you accepted a mission already at that point.
Come back to the rock later for the big game hunt if you are on a mission,
simple as that.

¤_____________________________________________________________________________¤
This mission automatically triggers sometime after Mission 50 and since you
drive around here a lot it is not hard to get. Your goal is to submit a
picture for Mission 001 which in turn unlocks Mission 007. The white rhinos
will also start appearing at the southeast section of Dunne Steppe if you
need more pictures for some reason.

There are five areas to explore in Africa. You start with just the Duma Steppe
outside the base camp and more are unlocked as you complete missions. If you
try to enter an area before that your partner will stop you saying that you do
not have a map for this "unexplored" part yet. A very useful tool in the game
is the GPS map. Press SELECT to bring it up and zoom in to see the landmark
names. You can find your way around with this should you be unfamiliar with the
zones. Here are also links to the maps from the base camp tent, with locations
of the Big Game hunts marked as Xs.

| Profile: Both black and white rhinoceroses are actually gray. They are |
| different not in color but in lip shape. The black rhino has a |
| pointed upper lip, while its white relative has a square lip. The |

06.) TROPHIES G0600
===============================================================================
Most of the trophies are mission-specific and will be achieved if you are
persistent with the progress of the game. The only trophy I found that was odd
was the bottle although you can go through the game and miss out on a few hunts
which cannot be re-done unless you start a new game (I think). Here is a list:
African Elephant (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Looking for material for a new picture book"
Complete Mission No. 014
African Elephant Boss (Silver)
Complete Mission "Mind risking your life for a photo?"
Complete Mission No. 086
African Elephant Showering (Bronze)
Complete Mission "African Elephant cooling off in the water"
Complete Mission No. 022
African Elephant Trumpet (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Urgent! African Elephant's powerful roar"
Complete Mission No. 031
Approach African Buffalo (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Photo for 'Nature Power' magazine"
Complete Mission No. 013
Baby Cheetah Cry (Bronze)
Complete Mission "An adorable baby calling for its mama"
Complete Mission No. 098
Cheetah Hunt (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Hunting at 60 mph"
Complete Mission No. 005
Cheetah on car (Silver)
Encounter "Cheetah on car"
Complete Big Game No.18. This should trigger late in the game when you are
around the Cheetah hangout. MAke sure you are not on an active mission else
it will surely not trigger.
Cheetah vs Warthog (Bronze)
Encounter "Cheetah vs Warthog"
This is missable!?
Complete Big Game No.16. When a mission asks you to snap the rogue warthog
you must not have a mission active when going to find it at the southwest of
Duma Steppe. This will trigger the big game hunt. If you submit a photo of
the warthog without triggering this then the big game hunt will not be
available and you will miss out on the trophy until your next game. (I am 99%
sure of it, but maybe it will trigger randomly later in the game)
Collect Crittercam (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Crittercam retrieval"
Complete Mission No. 081
Commemorative Photo with Masai (Bronze)
Complete mission "Job: Piece to be included in photo book"
Complete Mission No. 076
Complete Animal Encyclopedia (Gold)
Complete the Animal Encyclopedia
This is done by submitting photos of new animals for Mission 001. Not only
does a new animal fill the photos on the Field Guide but you get 3D models
for each kind under the details (adult, male, female, baby). If you are
missing a 3D model it will be grayed out. Not every animal has multiple
versions with most just having an adult variation, and often capturing just
one version of the adult form adds both male and female to the guide. Submit
the photo for this one to add to the Field Guide and if there are no more
missing photos or models then you should get the trophy immediately after
submitting the last one for this mission. Check Mission 001 for more details
on how many animals there are and what types they have, as well as where to
find them. The Field Guide is a viewable from the laptop. Page 10 does not
have a photo in the bottom right corner by the way. Most people are missing
either an animal that does not have a mission or one of the babies. The
babies show up randomly and it varies throughout the game. If you are missing
an animal that was on a mission then you might still have photos for it, else
you need to go out an explore. This is the most time-consuming mission there
is.
Complete Safari Mode (Gold)
Complete Mission "The 'Nunda', a giant beast of legend"
Complete Mission No. 118 and thus the story mode by going on the balloon
ride. You get this during the last cutscene before the credits.
Discover Black Leopard (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Black Leopard lurking in the dark"
Complete Mission No. 116
Discover King Cheetah (Bronze)
Complete Mission "King Cheetah with snake-like patterns"
Complete Mission No. 114
Discover Okapi (Bronze)
Complete Mission "The rare and cautious okapi'
Complete Mission No. 117
Discover Pygmy Hippopotamus (Bronze)
Complete Mission "The endangered Pygmy Hippopotamus"
Complete Mission No. 115
Find Bottle (Silver)
Find the bottle
The green bottle that can be found at the base of Polepole Falls in Choroa
Gorge AFTER you complete the balloon ride at the end of the game, or, as
reported by someone, finish all missions but the balloon ride and also finish
the encyclopedia. The bottle is then spawned in the middle of the water basin
at Polepole Falls in Choroa Gorge. You will have to avoid the three elephants
in the area to reach it. Hopefully two will start walking towards the
entrance and you can sneak/run by them at the right edge. The elephants might
spot you here but do not panic and just keep running towards the back of the
falls, and slowly steer towards the side the third elephant is not. If all is
clear you can make your way along the waterfall pouring down and towards the
middle of the waterfall. Once you grab the bottle the trophy will unlock and
then quickly press Triangle and select 'End Safari' to return to base. You
cannot do that in alert state, nor can you pick up the bottle then so run
into a corner and hope you are safe to try again later. You do not have to
return to base to complete having the bottle but it is easier than having to
avoid the elephants again. This is not as hard as it sounds but still
contains more risk than any mission you have to do in the game. I would say,
take away the moral of risking everything to get an empty bottle...if life
gives you a bottle, fill it with water?
Gerenuk Eating Food (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Urgent! Photo for 'All About Mammals' guide"
Complete Mission No. 055
Hippopotamus Fight (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Victory hinges on the size of their mouths"
Complete Mission No. 051
Hippopotamus Yawn (Bronze)
Complete Mission "The ultimate big mouth... You know who!"
Complete Mission No. 003
Item Complete (Gold)
Get all the items
You get 19 out of the 20 items from just playing missions until the end.
Check the list in the Tools section to get an overview of how to obtain the
items. You will miss one more (20) which is a green bottle, simply called
'Bottle'. See the trophy called 'Find Bottle' for more information on this
item and you should complete the trophy at the same time. The trophy will
unlock when you get all items even if you do not make it back to case camp
with the bottle after grabbing it.
Jambo! AFRIKA! (Platinum)
Completed AFRIKA! Congratulations!!!
This is the usual Platinum trophy you get for obtaining all other trophies.
Leopard Hunt (Bronze)
Complete Mission "A silent hunter that sneaks up on its prey"
Complete Mission No. 034
Leopard vs Olive Baboon (Bronze)
Encounter "Leopard vs Olive Baboon"
This is missable!?
Watch Big Game No.15. When you get the mission to submit a photo for the
leopard competition (089) you want to move out to the baboon forest at Lake
Heroe. The big game hunt will trigger. If you submit a picture before going
there the mission will not trigger and you miss the trophy until your next
game. (I am 99% sure of it, maybe it will trigger randomly later in the game)
Lion Fight (Bronze)
Complete Mission "Intergenerational battle"
Complete Mission No. 104
Lion Hunt (Silver)
Complete Mission "Job: The king's hunt"
Complete Mission No. 099

big game trophies! Aside from that, Mission 001 (which is never gone from
your inbox) counts as complete after just submitting once.

XX.) FAQ GXX00
===============================================================================
Q) I did not submit the Nile Crocodile for my Field Guide, can I still find it?
A) Yes, in Fever Trees near the end of the game. It is very rare. Good luck.
Q) I am missing Animal x for the Field Guide, please help!
A) Look at Mission 001 for detailed info.
Q: Where is the bottle?
A: It is at the base of Polepole Falls AFTER you have done the balloon ride,
although some people have reported it shows up if you just complete all
missions before that and have a complete encyclopedia. Either way you have
to wait until very, very late in the game to get the two trophies for the
bottle and items. The most common mistake people do is try to find this
earlier and panic when they do not see the bottle. It is rather easy to spot
once it is there.
Q: Why does animal x not show up at the usual place?
A: You probably have a mission active. If so then some animals tend to not load
in that area. Try again later, or just try returning to the area anyway.
Sometimes it takes several in-game days to alternate between animals at the
same spot, including the "no animal here today" trigger that sometimes
occurs as well.
Q: Is there any point to the evaluation grade?
A: Not really, since you have plenty of money anyway. I had bought everything
well before the end of the game and before the missions dished out 100,000
on a regular basis, and this includes shopping expensive jeep paint jobs.
Try to take good pictures though, since it guarantees mission success and
saves time coming back later. There is nothing worse than a "face is too
small" kind of message when you have returned back to base from far away.
Q: What happens at sundown?
A: You automatically return to base unless you have a camping tent which gives
you the option to stay in the area over night and resume exploring the next
morning. This is required for at least one mission, and useful for others.
Q: How long is a day?
A: Staying in the same area it can be around 25~30 minutes, yet driving between
areas will speed this up. You can watch the sunset yourself by the way, nice
effect.
Q: An animal is angry and my screen is flashing red, what is going on?
A: You have a short time until the animal attacks you which will knock you out
(returning you to the base camp and losing all pictures on your camera in
the process). To avoid this, stay clear of the animals if you can, or run
away from it after it started to be angry.
Q: What happens when I get attacked by an animal?
A: You return back to base but lose all the pictures you took since the last
transfer, i.e are on your camera... This, aside from whoever decided to
design the area just outside where you start every safari is a dry river
that ensures a bumpy ride when you leave, is the most annoying thing in the
game.
Q: What is my maximum picture storage?
A: 200, after that you have to delete some. Delete only very early pictures
since you never know what you might want again for another mission (esp.
Mission 001). If you don't have enough space for the transfer it will not be
done automatically unless you delete some pictures. Once there is enough
space again it will do an automatic transfer. In the meantime you can do
manual transfers from the card, or delete some from the temporary storage.
Q: Do I get penalized for ramming animals?
A: Your partner will stop the car (somehow) way before that happens and scold
you for it. Nothing really, just waste time but it's often unavoidable with
herds running around the area.
Q: Can I get stuck with the car?
A: Yes, it happens sometimes, and your partner will point it out but then you
will somehow get freed so donât worry about it. And who decided to design
the base camp to be surrounded by a dried out river you have to cross every
time you move out into the territory? But I digress.
Q: How do I do a night safari mission?
A: The first missions are triggered by sleeping during the day, which happens
you have to accept the mission to work. Later on, just exit the camp at
sundown and you will be asked if you want to go on a night safari and what
area. If it not sundown yet simply go out and select 'End Safari' to be back
at the base at day's end.
Q: Why are some of the missions in the list "n/a"?
A: They do not exist, either because they were cut in development and later the
missions were not renumbered or it is meant to be that way for some reason.
I suspect the former. The trophy for completing all missions unlocks when
all the others are complete thus you can ignore the "n/a" ones.
