Stories of modern adventurers who hunted Africa without a professional hunter. Includes a lengthy appendix with tips for do-it-yourself safaris.
Virtually all modern safari hunting is done under the guidance of professional hunters. However, it is still possible today to roam Africa as it was done one hundred years ago. Each year a few hardy souls venture into the wilds to tackle the game of the Dark Continent by themselves, with only the help of a native tracker. This is not for the fainthearted. Your first mistake may be your last as there is no professional hunter to back you up, and it is likely that you are the only one with a gun. Here is the story of Terry Cacek (pronounced "Sasek") who hunted elephant, buffalo, leopard, and plains game in Zimbabwe and Botswana on his own. In addition there are chapters by Jerry Weaver (Sudan), Charles Craver (Liberia), T. N. Alexakos (Benin), Charles Puff (Zimbabwe), and well-known Cameroon expert Reinald von Meurers. This is a unique book, nothing like it has been published in the last twenty years. Includes a lengthy appendix with tips for do-it-yourself safaris.
