Alexander McCall Smith has nothing on the King family! Michael, Josh and I visited Eagle Island Camp in Botswana in January, 1999. Two weeks ago Alexander McCall Smith, author of the series of books, No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, visited Eagle Island Camp for the 3^rd time in 2 years. Read what our friends at African Travel wrote:

                        Two weeks ago everyone at Eagle Island Camp was abuzz with excitement as they welcomed Alexander McCall Smith – author of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency – for a three day stay. This was his third visit to Eagle Island Camp in only two years, a place that has surely captured his heart and it is also the place where the first lady detective will be traveling to solve a crime in his next book. He was lucky enough to witness a lion kill just a few yards in front of him while on a game walk. The also visited the neighboring Noxa village which he says will be featured in his new book.---courtesy of African Travel
