At times ridiculously arogant and entitled, at other times humble and authentic, overall a good book that I'll read again. It is another in what has become a series of books that have kindled a small fire inside me to hunt africa, one that I never new was in me. But if I go, and that's a big if, it'll be for more than a month, as the author does in his trip, as I think you need that much time to adjust and soak up the experience. It was particularly interesting that the authors wife, described as a city slicker with no real outdoorsy experience, after spending 6 weeks in the bush, cries on their way to the airport.

Add this to the list if you haven't read it yet. I never thought I'd enjoy hunting africa as much as I did.20250513_135128.jpg

To really understand Ruark, you need to read “The Honey Badger”.
